Simultaneous Analysis Of The Ballik-Ramsay And Phillips Systems Of C2 And Observation Of Forbidden Transitions Between Singlet And Triplet States, Wang Chen, Kentarou Kawaguchi, Peter F. Bernath, Jian Tang

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications

6229 lines of the Ballik-Ramsay system (b3Σg--a3Πu) and the Phillips system (A1Πu-X1Σg+) of C2 up to v = 8 and J = 76, which were taken from the literature or assigned in the present work, were analyzed simultaneously by least-squares fitting with 82 Dunham-like molecular parameters and spin-orbit interaction constants between the b3Σg- and X1Σg+ states with a standard deviation of 0.0037 cm-1 for the whole data set. As a …

The Exchange Potential In Path Integral Studies: Analytical Justification, Randall W. Hall

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship

We present analytical justification for our previously described exchange pseudopotential. We show how the fermi quantum partition function can be constructed from the Boltzmann (distinguishable particle) wave functions if the states that correspond to like‐spin electrons occupying the same quantum state are excluded. A class of weighting functions that satisfy this constraint approximately is discussed. Our previous pseudopotential falls under this class. Essentially, our pseudopotential forces the unwanted states to have high energy and, hence, to make negligible contribution to the partition function. Exchange potentials of the form discussed in this article should be useful for studying systems where the …
