Pressure in the Average-Atom Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The (well-known) quantum mechanical expression for the stress tensor is derived and applied to obtain a formula for the pressure in the average-atom model. This average-atom pressure formula reduces to the (well-known) expression for the pressure in a classical free-electron gas when the average-atom continuum wave functions are replaced by free-electron wave functions. 1 Derivation We start with the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for an electron in a potential V (r), − h̄ i ∂ψ ∂t = − h̄ 2 2m ∇2ψ + V ψ (1) The expectation value of i-th component of the electron’s momentum inside a region R is 〈pi〉 = ∫ R dτ ψ†piψ. (2) The rate of increase of momentum in R is d dt 〈pi〉 = ∫ R dτ [ ∂ψ† ∂t piψ + ψ†pi ∂ψ ∂t ] = − ih̄ 2m ∫ R dτ [ ∇2ψ†piψ − ψ†pi∇2ψ ] − i h̄ ∫ R dτ ψ† [piV − V pi]ψ. (3)

متن کاملNovel Atom-Type-Based Topological Descriptors for Simultaneous Prediction of Gas Chromatographic Retention Indices of Saturated Alcohols on Different Stationary Phases
In this work, novel atom-type-based topological indices, named AT indices, were presented as descriptors to encode structural information of a molecule at the atomic level. The descriptors were successfully used for simultaneous quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) modeling of saturated alcohols on different stationary phases (SE-30, OV-3, OV-7, OV-11, OV-17 and OV-25). At first...
