| 11. | In 1931, Henry Eyring and Michael Polanyi constructed a potential energy surface for the reaction below.
|
| 12. | The potential energy surfaces ( APES ) are then obtained as the eigenvalues of this matrix.
|
| 13. | The adiabatic potential energy surfaces ( APES ) are then obtained as the eigenvalues of this matrix.
|
| 14. | The Zisman theory is mostly used for low energy surfaces and characterizes only the total surface energy.
|
| 15. | Note that a bubble is a minimum energy surface but not a minimal surface by definition ).
|
| 16. | Computational chemistry methods can also be used to calculate potential energy surfaces for reactions and determine probable mechanisms.
|
| 17. | Anticrossings of diatomic energy curves have many similarities to the conical intersections of energy surfaces in polyatomic molecules.
|
| 18. | The theory assumes the reaction system will pass over the lowest energy saddle point on the potential energy surface.
|
| 19. | In classical molecular dynamics, one potential energy surface ( usually the ground state ) is represented in the force field.
|
| 20. | The shape of the adiabatic potential-energy surface is not as important as the nature of the quantum vibrational density profile.
