Construction d'une base antisymétrique dans l'espace idéal

P. A. Simard

Published Dec 1, 1969• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

An antisymmetric basis has been set up in the ideal space as a combination of one boson and one ideal quasi-particle state; in this way a three quasi-particle system may be studied. The knowledge of solutions of linearized equations for two quasi-particles is a requisite for the setting up of this basis. The exclusion principle is thus introduced correctly. The spurious states coming from the non-conservation of the number of particles are separated out and can be rejected easily. The method can be used only in QTD approximation. The one-shell case is discussed as a verification of the method.

Transcription de la quasi-particule dans l'espace ideal et la méthode des bosons

P. A. Simard

A transcription of the quasi-particle into the ideal space is written in such a way that all the terms which contribute for the three quasi-particles system in QTD approximation can be found. Canonical transformations between the ideal quasi-particles are studied. An application to one shell is done with the result that the boson method gives exactly the same spectra as the Kuo method.

Boson Method not Violating the Pauli Principle Applied to the Three-Quasiparticle System

P. A. Simard, M. Banville

The boson method is studied for a system with one and three quasiparticles. A basis is constructed in the ideal space in such a way that the Pauli principle is fully satisfied. The spurious states due to the particle nonconservation are properly eliminated. Numerical calculations are presented and a comparison is made with Kuo's method. The boson method can be easily extended to the study of systems having two phonons.

Etude de la transcription de la quasi-particule dans l'espace idéal

M. Banville, P. A. Simard

The transcription of the quasi-particle in the ideal space has been studied in such a way that all terms in the Hamiltonian in the QTD approximation for the system of four quasi-particles can be found. It is found that an infinity of solutions exists which verify the commutator {α, α+} while yielding correct Hamiltonian matrix elements. Finally, particular solutions which do not verify this commutator are found. Their particular invariance properties under canonical transformations make them relatively easy to obtain. Nonphysical states are eliminated by these transcriptions and all the physical states appear properly antisymmetrized.

Antisymmetric Bosons in Nuclear Structure

M. Banville, P. A. Simard

The concept of an ideal space of bosons and ideal particles is applied directly to systems of ordinary particles with a transcription of the particle into that ideal space that preserves both the Pauli principle and the transformation properties of the one- and two-body operators. We treat systems up to four particles.

The exclusion priniciple and aperiodic systems

Nevill Francis Mott

Abstract Section I.—The exclusion principle of Pauli was introduced into the old quantum theory as an empirical fact that had been brought to light in the ordering of spectra. The new mechanics has provided some sort of explanation of the principle, for in a closed system with many electrons the mathematically possible stationary states can be separated into a number of groups, with the property that transitions between stationary states in different groups cannot occur. One of these group is made up of the stationary states corresponding occur. One of the these groups is made up of the stationary states corresponding to wave functions that are antisymmetrical in the co-ordinates of the electrons. Apart from accidental degeneracies, the stationary states in different groups have different energy values. The exclusion principle then states that only energy values belonging to the antisymmertical group are found in nature. The exclusion principle has had great success not only in explaining the spectra of helium and of more complicated atoms, but also, under the form of the Fermi-Dirac statistics, in accounting for metallic conduction and ferromagnetism. In all these phenomena we are dealing with systems is stationary states, possessing energy values which are discrete, although they may lie very close together. Now, as was first emphasised by Oppenheimer, we must also use antisymmetrical wave-functions to describe aperiodic phenomena, such as the collision between an electron and an atom. If we do not, we obtain probabilities for the formation of atoms whose wave-funtions are not antisymmetrical, as we shall show in section 4, where we consider the collision between an electron and a helium atom. A helium atom described by a symmetrical wave-function would show a singlet series in palce of the observed triplets and triplet series in place of the observed singlets. The wave-functions of open systems are essentially degenerate; the symmetical and antisymmetrical solution are not separated from one another by a finite energy difference; but for any arbitrary value of the energy (and of the other integrals of the motion) we can form a symmetrical and an antisymmetrical solution. This is somewhat fundamental difference between open and closed systems. For closed systems containing two electrons there exist only the symmetrical and the antisymmetical solution; but for open systems we might take any combination of the two. In fact, to describe an observable phenomenon such as a collision, the wave-function that it would first occur to us to use is a combination of the two. To fix our ideas we shall discuss the collision between two electrons. Our arguments could equally well be applied to the collision between an electron and a hydrogen atom, the problem originally discussed by Born; but the former is the simpler case, and perhaps illustrates our theory better.

Double symmetrization and the linearly independent spin eigenfunctions

T. K. Lim

Abstract It is shown that the exclusion principle merely requires the electrons to be divided into two distinct groups, then, according to our assumption of the distinguishability of electrons, its mathematical representation can be the spatial double antisymmetrization or the spatial‐spin antisymmetrization; in the latter case an auxiliary spin double symmetrization is also required in order to distinguish the two types of electrons. The second requirement is used to recognize the fact that, although all electrons can be assumed to be indistinguishable under certain condition, their natural characteristic of two distinct groups must still be preserved.It is further shown that the double antisymmetrization (or double symmetrization) determines the spin quantum number M, whereas the Löwdin spin projector for nonorthogonal eigenfunctions and the Wigner matric basis for orthogonal eigenfunctions will decide the spin quantum number S, Both the spatial double antisymmetrizer and the spin double symmetrizer will reject all the unnecessary eigenfunctions and project out only one unique set of linearly independent eigenfunctions.
