Molecular Structure of Atomic Nucleus

The Atomic Nucleus

- Atomic Spectra Atomic Structure

T HE present edition of this work contains a number of corrections and additions; Birge's new set of fundamental constants has been adopted throughout, and various tables, especially the table of ionization potentials, have been brought up to date. The author is indebted to Professor J. W. Ellis of the University of California at Los Angeles for a list of errors and corrections ; several of the...

investigation of high-spin rotational states in the atomic nucleus.

the ground state rotational bands of some rare earth nuclei show a rather strange behaviour at large values of angular momenta. the nuclear moment of inertia teta increases smoothly with angular momentum i up to i=12. then at about i=14 there is a sudden increase in the moment of inertia. the plot of teta versus the square of the angular velocity w gives a s-shaped curve. we attempt here to rep...

Constrained Global Optimization for Estimating Molecular Structure from Atomic Distances

Finding optimal three-dimensional molecular configurations based on a limited amount of experimental and/or theoretical data requires efficient nonlinear optimization algorithms. Optimization methods must be able to find atomic configurations that are close to the absolute, or global, minimum error and also satisfy known physical constraints such as minimum separation distances between atoms (b...
