Virial Theorem and its Generalizations in Scattering Theory

Peter D. Robinson, Joseph O. Hirschfelder

Heretofore, the hypervirial theorems recently introduced by Hirschfelder have only been applied to bound-state systems. In this paper it is shown that, with certain modifications, these theorems can also be applied to free systems, and, in particular, to scattering problems. The new form of the general hypervirial theorem is derived, and the theory is illustrated with the problem of a particle scattered by a central field. The ordinary virial theorem is deduced, together with other results of physical interest. Both classical and quantum-mechanical formalisms are considered, and in some cases the semiclassical approximation links corresponding results.

1 A Comment on the Virial Relation

L.D. Faddeev, L.A. Khalfin, I.V. Komarov

The validity of the virial theorem was proved by Born, Heisenberg and Jordan1 on the ground of matrix calculation and after that by Finkelstein2 on the ground of the Schro¨dinger equation. Both proofs essentially reproduced ideas of the classical approach. In the present note, a new and purely quantum mechanical derivation of this relation is given from the variational principle. The derivation is very simple and allows one to get some interesting consequences.
