Get started for freeQuestion: In a crystal, the electric field of neighbouring ions perturbs the energy levels of an atom. As a crude model, imagine that a hydrogen atom is surrounded by three pairs of point charges, as shown in Figure 6.15. (Spin is irrelevant to this problem, so ignore it.)
(a) Assuming that show that
where
(b) Find the lowest-order correction to the ground state energy.
(c) Calculate the first-order corrections to the energy of the first excited states Into how many levels does this four-fold degenerate system split,
(i) in the case of cubic symmetry, (ii) in the case of tetragonal symmetry, (iii) in the general case of orthorhombic symmetry (all three different)?
Work out the matrix elements of construct the W matrix given in the text, for n = 2.
Suppose the Hamiltonian H, for a particular quantum system, is a function of some parameter let and be the eigen values and
Eigen functions of. The Feynman-Hellmann theoremstates that
(Assuming either that is nondegenerate, or-if degenerate-that the 's are the "good" linear combinations of the degenerate Eigen functions).
(a) Prove the Feynman-Hellmann theorem. Hint: Use Equation 6.9.
(b) Apply it to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator,(i)using (this yields a formula for the expectation value of V), (II)using (this yields (T)),and (iii)using (this yields a relation between (T)and (V)). Compare your answers to Problem 2.12, and the virial theorem predictions (Problem 3.31).
Find the (lowest order) relativistic correction to the energy levels of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Hint: Use the technique in Example 2.5 .
Question: In Problem 4.43you calculated the expectation value ofin the state. Check your answer for the special cases s = 0(trivial), s = -1(Equation 6.55), s = -2(Equation 6.56), and s = -3(Equation 6.64). Comment on the case s = -7.
