4 The idea of molecules and atoms The idea of molecular and atomic nature of matter was proposed long before the real existence of molecules and atoms could be proved. In 1869, D. I. Mendeleev conceived the periodic table of elements. Avogadro s hypothesis ( ) states equal volumes of gases at fixed pressure and temperature must contain equal numbers of molecules. In early 19 century, the botanist R. Brown observed the distinctive random motion of pollen suspended in a fluid. Einstein s treatment of Brownian motion lead to determined the Avogadro s number N A = molecules/mole. Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom 7, / 54
5 Thomson s atomic model(1903) Thomson s model predict the frequency of electromagnetic wave arising from oscillation of electrons. However it did not fit with the result from observations. Direct test of Thomson s model were carried out by means of Rutherford α-particle scattering experiment. Rutherford scattering in 1911 led to the development of the Rutherford model (planetary model) of the atom, and eventually to the Bohr model. Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom 7, / 54
6 Rutherford s atomic model In 1911, Rutherford proposed that the massive positive component of the atom was contained within a very small region of the atomic volume, called the atomic nucleus. A scale of size could be determined for the nucleus by α-particle scattering. The atomic radius is of order m, and the nuclear radius was found from the experiment to be of order m. The Rutherford atom resembled the solar system. The atomic electrons were supposed to move in stable orbit around the nucleus, however Rutherford s model fail to explain this.

7 The Bohr model of One-electron atom In 1913, Bohr proposed his theory of one-electron atom: 1 Electrons still obey the classical physic law: 2 1 e 4πɛ 0 r 2 = me v 2, K = 1 r 2 me v 2 = 1 2 e 8πɛ 0 r, V = 1 2 e 4πɛ 0 r, E = K + V = 1 1 8πɛ 0 r 2 Assume the existence of stationary state of electron orbits on which electrons do not emit radiation. L = r p, m e vr = n, v = n m e r r n = 4πɛ 0 2 m e e 2 n 2 = a 0 n 2, a 0 = nm me e4 1 E n = 32π 2 ɛ n 2 = 13.6 ( 2π c 1 ev, hf = n2 λ = En 1 En 2 = 13.6eV n2 2 1 ) n1 2 (n 1 n 2 ) 3 The atom may undergo non-classical transition of these allowed state to another by emitting or absorbing a single quantum of electromagnetic radiation. ien-tsan Shieh (Department of Applied MathNational Introduction Chiao-Tung to QuantumUniversity) Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom 7, / 54
8 Spectrum of Hydrogen Atom The Rydberg formula: 1 λ = R( 1 n 1 2 n ) 2 R = m 1 where n is the finial level and n is the initial level and R is called the Rydberg constant. ien-tsan Shieh (Department of Applied MathNational Introduction Chiao-Tung to QuantumUniversity) Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom 7, / 54
9 The Limitation of the Bohr model of one-electron atom The Bohr model gives a clear picture to the motion of electron in atom which motive the ideas of stationary orbits, discrete energy of spectrum, quantization of angular momentum. However, the Bohr s model is not a complete model which only valid for one-electron atom and is difficult to extend to two-elctrons or many-electrons atoms. For many-electron atoms, the model can not count the effect of interaction between electrons. In the point view of modern quantum mechanics, the Bohr s model does not satisfy the uncertain principle.

11 Historical development of Quantum mechanics In 19th century, Hamilton had investigated the connection between the equations of geometrical optics and wave optics. His work inspired Schrodinger who argued that classical particle dynamics should bear a similar relation to a proposed wave theory for a quantum particle. In 1924, de Broglie proposed that matter should possess both particle and wave characteristics. ν (frequancy) = E h, λ (wavelength) = h p In 1926, Schrodinger adopted de Broglie s ideas of matter waves and found the evolution equation of these matter waves. In 1926, Heisenberg s picture of quantum mechanics gave a representation of measurable quantities by means of matrix. In 1926, M. Born gave a probabilistic interpretation of solutions to Schrodinger s wave equation. Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom7, / 54

13 The probabilistic interpretation M. Born proposed we took ψ to be a mathematical wave function instead and identified ψ 2 as the basic observable quantity of the matter wave. Probability density: P(x, t) = Ψ(x, t) 2 Conservation law of probability: Ψ(x, t) 2 dx = 1 P(x, t) + j(x, t) = 0 t where the probability current density is j(x, t) = 2im (Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ ).

F (ρ) = C i ρ i e ρ. i=0 u(ρ) e ρ/2 ρ l+1 e ρ = e ρ/2 ρ l+1 diverges for large ρ. To obtain a finite wave function, for any given l, C i must terminate at some finite value i, called i max.

In cartesian coordinate, L = r p L x = yp z zp y L y = zp z xp z L z = xp y yp x In quantum mechanics, the linear momentum operator is ˆp = i and the angular momentum is defined by L = i r.

38 Angular Momentum (II) Because of [ˆx, ˆp x] = i,..., we have The total angular momentum is the vector operator ˆL = e x ˆLx + e y ˆLy + e z ˆLz. Define We have ˆL 2 = ˆL 2 x + ˆL 2 y + ˆL 2 z. i ˆL = ˆL ˆL. [ˆL x, ˆL 2 ] = [ˆL y, ˆL 2 ] = [ˆL z, ˆL 2 ] = 0 [ˆL, ˆL 2 ] = 0 The operator L 2 in the spherical coordinate: L 2 = 2 [ 1 sin θ θ ( sin θ θ ) + 1 sin 2 θ ] 2 φ 2 Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom7, / 54

42 Elementary Theory of Radiation (I) The eigenstates ψ nlm of the hydrogen atom are stable against radiation. r = ψ nlm r ψ nlm = r ψ nlm 2 dr = 0. If we find r e z cos ωt, then the electron is doing linear simple harmonic oscillation, which is called dipole radiation. In the Bohr theory of radiation, radiation occurs when a photon is emitted during a transition from one eigenenergy state to a lower one. Suppose ψ = aψ n + bψ n and a 2 + b 2 = 1 where a(t), b(t) are time-dependent. We will find r = aψ n + bψ n r aψ n + bψ n r(t) = a be i(en E n )t/ ϕn r ϕ n +b ae i(e n En)t/ ϕn r ϕ n r(t) = 2 a b ϕ n r ϕ n cos(ω nn t + δ) = 2 r nn cos(ω nn t + δ) where ω nn is the Bohr frequency ω nn = E n E n. The average radiated power of the dipole radiation is P = 1 3 ω4 c 3 d 2 where the dipole moment d = er 0 = 2er nn with r = r 0 cos ωt. ien-tsan Shieh (Department of Applied MathNational Introduction Chiao-Tung to QuantumUniversity) Physics and Models of Hydrogen November Atom7, / 54
43 Elementary Theory of Radiation (II) Selection rules: From r nn 0, we obtain the following rules: l = l l = ±1, m l = m m = 0, ±1. Example: The transition 3S 1S ( l = 0) is forbidden, as is 3D 2S ( l = 2). For a transition l = 1, the law of conservation of angular momentum implies the electromagnetic field (i.e. the photon) carries away angular momentum. It turns out photons have angular momentum 1 and are bosons.

48 Historical background The Schrodinger theory of the atom is based on a nonrelativistic treatment of electron motion. The effect of relativity are appropriately ignored in first approximation, but the resulting picture of the atom is incomplete until such behavior is taken into account. In 1896, (normal) Zeeman effect was observed by P. Zeeman. Improvements in spectroscopic revealed the splitting of lines into multiplets of closely spaced without the influence of an applied magnetic field. This is called fine structure. Pauli was able to explain the occurrence of multiplets by letting the electron have a nonclassical two-valued property, which appeared as a fourth quantum number spin.

Some special functions, such as Legendre polynomials, spherical harmonic functions, are related to symmetry of physical systems. Atomic orbitals are eigenfunctions of quantum system.
