Transmission coefficient and two-fold degenerate discrete spectrum of spin-1 bosons in a double-step potential
The scattering of spin-1 bosons in a nonminimal vector double-step potential
is described in terms of eigenstates of the helicity operator and it is shown
that the transmission coefficient is insensitive to the choice of the
polarization of the incident beam. Poles of the transmission amplitude reveal
the existence of a two-fold degenerate spectrum. The results are interpreted in
terms of solutions of two coupled effective Schr\"{o}dinger equations for a
finite square well with additional -functions situated at the borders.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1203.119
Towards standard methods for benchmark quality ab initio thermochemistry --- W1 and W2 theory
Two new schemes for computing molecular total atomization energies (TAEs)
and/or heats of formation () of first-and second-row
compounds to very high accuracy are presented. The more affordable scheme, W1
(Weizmann-1) theory, yields a mean absolute error of 0.30 kcal/mol and includes
only a single, molecule-independent, empirical parameter. It requires CCSD
(coupled cluster with all single and double substitutions) calculations in
and basis sets, while CCSD(T) [i.e. CCSD with a
quasiperturbative treatment of connected triple excitations] calculations are
only required in and basis sets. On workstation computers and
using conventional coupled cluster algorithms, systems as large as benzene can
be treated, while larger systems are feasible using direct coupled cluster
methods. The more rigorous scheme, W2 (Weizmann-2) theory, contains no
empirical parameters at all and yields a mean absolute error of 0.23 kcal/mol,
which is lowered to 0.18 kcal/mol for molecules dominated by dynamical
correlation. It involves CCSD calculations in and basis sets
and CCSD(T) calculations in and basis sets. On workstation
computers, molecules with up to three heavy atoms can be treated using
conventional coupled cluster algorithms, while larger systems can still be
treated using a direct CCSD code. Both schemes include corrections for scalar
relativistic effects, which are found to be vital for accurate results on
second-row compounds.Comment: J. Chem. Phys., in press; text 30 pages RevTeX; tables 10 pages, HTML
