Molecular Dynamics. VI. Free‐Path Distributions and Collision Rates for Hard‐Sphere and Square‐Well Molecules

TL;DR: In this paper, free path distributions and collision rates for systems of hard-sphere and square-well molecules are computed and compared to simple models, and mean free paths for solids and dense fluids are found to be within 2% of those predicted by dividing the kinetic-theory mean free path by the relative probability of two molecules in contact.

Configuration interaction description of electron correlation

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental goal of quantum chemistry is the development of a qualitatively correct set of concepts for describing the chemical and physical properties of molecules, and it is necessary to obtain high-accuracy wave functions for a few typical chemical systems.

Zitterbewegung and its effects on electrons in semiconductors

TL;DR: An analogy between the band structure of narrow gap semiconductors and the Dirac equation for relativistic electrons in vacuum is used to demonstrate that semiconductor electrons experience a Zitterbewegung (trembling motion) as mentioned in this paper.

Poincaré gauge theory of gravity: Friedman cosmology with even and odd parity modes: Analytic part

TL;DR: In this paper, Chen et al. proposed a cosmological model in the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity (PG), where the Lagrangian is quadratic in both curvature and torsion.
