  2. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) is the stability that results from placing a transition metal ion in the crystal field generated by a set of ligands. It arises due to the fact that when the d -orbitals are split in a ligand field (as described above), some of them become lower in energy than before with respect to a spherical ...

  3. Spin–orbit interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit_interaction

    It allows the evaluation of the total, spin and orbital moments. The eigenstates and corresponding eigenfunctions | can be found from direct diagonalization of Hamiltonian matrix containing crystal field and spin–orbit interactions. Taking into consideration the thermal population of states, the thermal evolution of the single-ion properties ...

  4. Crystal momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_momentum

    Crystal momentum also earns its chance to shine in these types of calculations, for, in order to calculate an electron's trajectory of motion using the above equations, one need only consider external fields, while attempting the calculation from a set of equations of motion based on true momentum would require taking into account individual ...

  5. Bloch's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloch's_theorem

    where is position, is the wave function, is a periodic function with the same periodicity as the crystal, the wave vector is the crystal momentum vector, is Euler's number, and is the imaginary unit. Functions of this form are known as Bloch functions or Bloch states , and serve as a suitable basis for the wave functions or states of electrons ...

  6. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    Scalar fields are predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and string theory, but an analogous problem to the cosmological constant problem (or the problem of constructing models of cosmological inflation) occurs: renormalization theory predicts that scalar fields should acquire large masses again due to zero-point energy.

  7. Particle in a one-dimensional lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_one...

    In quantum mechanics, the particle in a one-dimensional lattice is a problem that occurs in the model of a periodic crystal lattice.The potential is caused by ions in the periodic structure of the crystal creating an electromagnetic field so electrons are subject to a regular potential inside the lattice.

  8. Crystallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallography

    Crystallography ranges from the fundamentals of crystal structure to the mathematics of crystal geometry, including those that are not periodic or quasicrystals. At the atomic scale it can involve the use of X-ray diffraction to produce experimental data that the tools of X-ray crystallography can convert into detailed positions of atoms, and ...

  9. Crystal field excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_excitation

    Crystal field excitation is the electronic transition of an electron between two orbitals of an atom that is situated in a crystal field environment. [1] They are often observed in coordination complexes of transition metals . [ 2 ]
