A general pseudopotential model for molecules with many valence electrons

Richard N. Dixon, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1975 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model based on the use of pseudopotentials derived from atomic SCF calculations has been proposed to simulate ab initio all-electron calculations on molecules containing heavy atoms with many core electrons.

Direct absorption measurement of the spin–orbit splitting and 2P1/2 radiative lifetime in atomic fluorine (2p5)

TL;DR: In this article, the first direct measurement of the fluorine atom ground state fine structure transition was reported by diode laser absorption spectroscopy, which was measured with high precision relative to a pure rotational transition in H2O, establishing the fine structure energy splitting as 404.082 cm−1 ± 0.025.

Clebsch-gordan coefficients, viewed from different sides

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the application of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients in physics is presented, which is an adequate formalism for the investigation of complicated physical systems (atoms, nuclei, molecules, hadrons, radiation) and how this theory can be applied to elementary particle symmetries.

The Measurement of Lifetimes of Free Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

TL;DR: In this paper, the lifetime measurements of free atoms, molecules, and ions were studied in a multichannel system, where the lifetime resolution is limited by the combined effects of the finite time taken for the gun pulse cutoff and the finite transit time of electrons across the source.
