Correlated Tunneling in Hydrogen Bonds
We study the quantum nature of the protons participating in hydrogen bonds in several ice structures by analyzing the one particle density matrix. We find that in all cases, including ice Ih, the most common form of ice, and the high pressure phases, ice VIII, VII, and X, the system is ground-state dominated. However, while the dynamics is uncorrelated in the structures with standard asymmetric...
متن کاملInvestigation of terahertz vibration-rotation tunneling spectra for the water octamer.
We report a combined theoretical and experimental study of the water octamer-h16. The calculations used the ring-polymer instanton method to compute tunnelling paths and splittings in full dimensionality. The experiments measured extensive high resolution spectra near 1.4 THz, for which isotope dilution experiments and group theoretical analysis support assignment to the octamer. Transitions ap...
متن کاملLevel splittings in exchange-biased spin tunneling
The level splittings in a dimer with the antiferromagnetic coupling between two single-molecule magnets are calculated perturbatively for arbitrary spin. It is found that the exchange interaction between two single-molecule magnets plays an important role in the level splitting. The results are discussed in comparison with the recent experiment. 75.45.+j, 75.50.Xx, 75.50.Tt Typeset using REVTEX...
متن کاملField-dependent Mechanism of Anomalous Proton Conductivity and the Polarizability of Hydrogen Bonds with Tunneling Protons
The displacement of the excess charge of the proton in acid solutions is caused by a structure migration of groupings H 5 0 2 + or H 9 0 4 + . The processes which take place during structure migration are discussed on the basis of results gained in IR-investigations. In an electrical field the structure migration is given a preferred direction. The hydrogen bond with the tunneling proton in H 5...
متن کاملInstanton Induced Tunneling Amplitude at Excited States with the Lsz Method
Quantum tunneling between degenerate ground states through the central barrier of a potential is extended to excited states with the instanton method. This extension is achieved with the help of an LSZ reduction technique as in field theory and may be of importance in the study of macroscopic quantum phenomena in magnetic systems. Quantum effects on the macroscopic scale have attracted consider...
