Counting charges
Voltage-gated ion channels of excitable tissue have evolved an exquisite sensitivity to membrane potential. The open probability of a typical potassium or sodium channel, for example, may be increased by two orders of magnitude in response to a depolarization of less than 10 mV (Zagotta et al., 1994; Hirschberg et al., 1995). As recognized by Hodgkin and Huxley (1952), this responsiveness to ch...
متن کاملRigorous definition of oxidation states of ions in solids.
We present justification and a rigorous procedure for electron partitioning among atoms in extended systems. The method is based on wave-function topology and the modern theory of polarization, rather than charge density partitioning or wave-function projection, and, as such, reformulates the concept of oxidation state without assuming real-space charge transfer between atoms. This formulation ...
متن کاملBerry phase correction to electron density of states in solids.
Liouville's theorem on the conservation of phase-space volume is violated by Berry phase in the semiclassical dynamics of Bloch electrons. This leads to a modification of the phase-space density of states, whose significance is discussed in a number of examples: field modification of the Fermi-sea volume, connection to the anomalous Hall effect, and a general formula for orbital magnetization. ...
متن کاملElectron Counting Statistics and Coherent States of Electric Current
A theory of electron counting statistics in quantum transport is presented. It involves an idealized scheme of current measurement using a spin 1/2 coupled to the current so that it precesses at the rate proportional to the current. Within such an approach, counting charge without breaking the circuit is possible. As an application, we derive the counting statistics in a single channel conducto...
متن کاملN.M.R. orbital shifts of 125Te in solids, dependence on ionicity and local structure
2014 The orbital chemical shift of N.M.R., which measures the weight of non-s states in the chemical bond, can be related directly to the ionicity for tellurium compounds. In a molecular picture of the solid neglecting d states, the shift is a parabolic function of the number of p-electrons in the valence band. This number depends simply on the ionicity for tellurium bonds and can be modified b...
