This paper presents an exact solution for the free energy of linear solvation of a dipolar solute in an arbitrary dielectric material with a microscopic spectrum of polarization fluctuations. The solution is given in terms of wave vector-dependent longitudinal and transverse structure factors of the polarization fluctuations in the pure dielectric. Good agreement with computer simulations of di...

A commonly accepted mechanism of generating baryon asymmetry in the minimal supersymmetric standard model ~MSSM! depends on the CP violating relative phase between the gaugino mass and the Higgsino m term. The direct constraint on this phase comes from the limit of electric dipole moments ~EDM’s! of various light fermions. To avoid such a constraint, a scheme which assumes that the first two ge...

Several investigations have correlated the shape of the molecular vibrational potential surface with the properties of the relaxation of the molecular electronic charge distribution on vibration [l, 21. In this communication we look at the contribution tc the intensity of i&a-red absorption bands from this source by calculating that part of the dipole moment due to the relaxation of the electro...

The orientation behavior of mesogens in a polyacrylate with cyanobiphenyl (CB) side chain in thin films was investigated in detail by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GI-SAXS) measurements using both high-energy X-rays of Cu Kα line (λ = 0.154 nm) and low-energy synchrotron X-rays (λ = 0.539 nm). By changing the film thickness ranging 7-200 nm, ...

We examine the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters that result from various ways of embedding the Standard Model (SM) on Dbranes within the Type I string picture, allowing the gaugino masses and μ to have large CP violating phases. One embedding naturally provides the relations among soft parameters to satisfy the electron and neutron electric dipole moment constraints even with large phases...

We show that, in valence quark models, the relativistic corrections to the SU(6) relation for the contribution of the electric dipole moments of the quarks to the electric dipole moment of the neutron can be expressed as a multiplicative correction factor. The correction factor is evaluated in light cone wavefunction models, in the bag model, and in relativistic mean-eld models, and is found to...

We have measured experimental adsorption isotherms of water in zeolite LTA4A, and studied the regeneration process by performing subsequent adsorption cycles after degassing at different temperatures. We observed incomplete desorption at low temperatures, and cation rearrangement at successive adsorption cycles. We also developed a new molecular simulation force field able to reproduce experime...

Pure rotational lines are important for monitoring water concentrations in many environments both in space and on earth. A list of line intensities of rotational transitions for H2 O is calculated using variational nuclear-motion wave functions and an ab initio dipole moment surface. This methodology should be equally reliable for both allowed and forbidden rotational transitions. Extensive com...

Molecular dipole moments of analytic density-functional theory are investigated. The effect of element-dependent exchange potentials on these moments are examined by comparison with conventional quantum-chemical methods and experiment for the subset of the extended G2 set of molecules that have nonzero dipole moment. Fitting the Kohn-Sham [Phys. Rev. 140, A1133 (1965)] potential itself makes a ...

On 19 December 1996 as Galileo passed close to Jupiter's moon, Europa, the magnetometer measured substantial departures from the slowly varying background field of Jupiter's magnetosphere. Currents coupling Europa to Jupiter's magnetospheric plasma could produce perturbations of the observed size. However, the trend of the field perturbations is here modeled as the signature of a Europa-centere...
