Pauli principle and Slater determinants 4. Magic numbers 5. Fermi gas model and application to white dwarfs

2 Introduction atom = nucleus + many electrons nucleus = many protons + many neutrons Quantum mechanics for those many Fermion systems?

3 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons a two-particle system 1 2 two particles are identical: particle 1 and 2 cannot be distinguished

4 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons a two-particle system 1 2 two particles are identical: particle 1 and 2 cannot be distinguished mathematically, where exchange operator the Hamiltonian is invariant under the exchange of 1 2

5 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons where exchange operator wave functions have to be simultaneous eigen-states of H and P 12

6 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons where exchange operator wave functions have to be simultaneous eigen-states of H and P 12 Eigen-values of P 12

7 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons Natural Laws: each particle has a definite value of P 12 (independent of e.g., experimental setup and temperature) particles with a half-integer spin: P 12 = -1 ( Fermion ) electrons, protons, neutrons,.. particles with an integer spin: P 12 = +1 ( Boson ) photons, pi mesons,.

8 Exchange operator: Fermions and Bosons Extension to N-particle systems: Wave functions have to be symmetric (anti-symmetric) for an exchange of any two particles example: for N=3

9 Simple examples: systems with two identical particles Assume a spin-independent Hamiltonian for a two-particle system: separable between the space and the spin

10 Simple examples: systems with two identical particles Assume a spin-independent Hamiltonian for a two-particle system: separable between the space and the spin spin-zero bosons no spin symmetrize the spatial part

11 Simple examples: systems with two identical particles spin-1/2 Fermions Spin part: spatial part: anti-symmetric for S=1 symmetric for S=0 symmetric anti-symmetric

12 Scattering of identical particles θ these two processes cannot be distinguished π θ add two amplitudes and then take square interference +: for spatially symmetric, and : for spatially anti-symmetric

13 16 O + 16 O elastic scattering 16 O: spin-zero Boson

14 12 C + 12 C Spin 0 identical Bosons constructive interference intensity 13 C + 13 C Spin half identical Fermions destructive interference S=1 θ lab (deg) S=0

15 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants Pauli exclusion principle: two identical Fermion cannot take the same state Let us assume: (no interaction between 1 and 2)

16 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants Pauli exclusion principle: two identical Fermion cannot take the same state Let us assume: (no interaction between 1 and 2) separation of variables a product form of wave function

17 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants Pauli exclusion principle: two identical Fermion cannot take the same state separation of variables a product form of wave function (Pauli principle)

18 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants Pauli exclusion principle: two identical Fermion cannot take the same state (note) the determinant of a matrix

19 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants non-interacting N-Fermion systems anti-symmetrizer (separation of variables)

20 Pauli exclusion principle and Slater determinants N=2: N=3:
