The spin of the ground state of an atom.

Charles L. Fefferman, Luis A. Seco (1996)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Similarity:

In this paper we address a question posed by M. and T. Hoffmann-Ostenhof, which concerns the total spin of the ground state of an atom or molecule. Each electron is given a value for spin, ±1/2. The total spin is the sum of the individual spins.

On the current of large atoms in strong magnetic fields

Søren Fournais (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

In this talk I will discuss recent results on the magnetisation/current of large atoms in strong magnetic fields. It is known from the work (E. Lieb, J.P. Solovej, and J. Yngvason, “Asymptotics of heavy atoms in high magnetic fields: II. Semiclassical regions”, Commun. Math. Phys. (1994), no. 161, 77-124) of Lieb, Solovej and Yngvason that the energy and density of atoms in strong magnetic fields are given to highest order by a Magnetic Thomas Fermi theory (MTF-theory) when the magnetic...

Bosons in Rapid Rotation: From the Quantum Many-Body Problem to Effective Equations

Jakob Yngvason (2008-2009)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

One of the most interesting phenomena exhibited by ultracold quantum gases is the appearance of vortices when the gas is put in rotation. The talk will bring a survey of some recent progress in understanding this phenomenon starting from the many-body ground state of a Bose gas with short range interactions. Mathematically this amounts to describing solutions of a linear Schrödinger equation with a very large number of variables in terms of a nonlinear equation with few variables and...
