Simplified Hartree-Fock Computations on Second-Row Atoms
S. M. Blinder
Simplified Hartree-Fock computations are carried out on the atoms He through Ne, using orthonormalized basis functions for the 1s, 2s and 2p orbitals dependent on three parameters.…
Eigenvalues for a Pure Quartic Oscillator
S. M. Blinder
The eigenvalues of a pure quartic oscillator are computed, applying a canonical operator formulation, generalized from the harmonic oscillator. Solving a 10x10 secular equation pro…
Ammonia Inversion Energy Levels using Operator Algebra
S M Blinder
The inversion potential for the ammonia molecule is approximated by a quartic function. The Hamiltonian thereby contains only even powers of p and x and a representation in terms o…
Centennial of General Relativity (1915-2015); The Schwarzschild Solution and Black Holes
S. M. Blinder
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (1915-2015). The first nontrivial solution of the Einstein field equations was derived by Karl Schw…
Atomic electronic states: the L-S and j-j coupling schemes and their correlation
Wai-Kee Li, S. M. Blinder
In the first part of this paper, we review the assumption of the L-S coupling scheme, with which we derive the electronic states arising from a given atomic configuration. Then, wi…
Structure and bonding of second-row hydrides
S. M. Blinder
The atomic orbitals, hybridization and chemical bonding of the most common hydrides of boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are described. This can be very instructive for beginning…
