Verify that the normalization constant given in Example 8.2is correct for both symmetric and antisymmetric states and is independent ofnand n'?

Short Answer

Expert verified

This confirms that wave function is correctly normalized, whether it is used, for symmetric or anti-symmetric wave function and is independent of states nand n'.

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

Symmetric and anti-symmetric state.

02

Concept of complex number: 

The symmetric function is

ψs(x1,x2)=2L(sinÏ€³æ1Lsin2Ï€³æ2L+sin2Ï€³æ1LsinÏ€³æ2L)………..(1)

role="math" localid="1659952474415" ψs(x1,x2)=2L(sinÏ€³æ1Lsin2Ï€³æ2L−sin2Ï€³æ1LsinÏ€³æ2L)………..(2)

Equation (1) and (2) can be written as

ψ(x1,x2)=2L(sinÏ€³æ1Lsin2Ï€³æ2L±sin2Ï€³æ1LsinÏ€³æ2L)………(3)

03

Verify normalization condition

To verify the normalization condition, evaluate

N=∫0L∫0L|ψ(x1,x2)|2dx1dx2

=2L2∫0L∫0Lsin24Ï€³æ1Lsin23Ï€³æ2L+sin23Ï€³æ1Lsin24Ï€³æ2L±2sin4Ï€³æ1Lsin3Ï€³æ1Lsin4Ï€³æ2Lsin3Ï€³æ2Ldx1dx2

=2L2∫0Lsin24Ï€³æ1Ldx1∫0Lsin23Ï€³æ2Ldx2+2L2∫0Lsin23Ï€³æ1Ldx1∫0Lsin24Ï€³æ2Ldx2±22L2∫0Lsin4Ï€³æ1Lsin3Ï€³æ1Ldx12.

04

Evaluate the integrals of the form

∫sin2axdx=12x−14asin2ax∫0Lsin2²ÔÏ€³æLdx=12x−L4²ÔÏ€sin2²ÔÏ€³æL0L=L2

The other integral Equation (4) is

∫sinaxsinbxdx=∫12cos(a−b)x−12cos(a+b)xdx=sin(a−b)x2(a−b)−sin(a+b)x2(a+b)

For a=4Ï€Land b=3Ï€Lthis is equal to

∫0Lsin4Ï€³æL3Ï€³æLdx=12LÏ€sinÏ€³æL−L7Ï€sin7²ÔÏ€³æL00L

Therefore equation (4) becomes,

N=2L2L22+2L2L22±2∫0Lsin4Ï€³æ1Lsin3Ï€³æ1Ldx1=2L2L22+2L2L22±0=1

Slater Determinant: A convenient and compact way of expressing multi-particle states of anti-symmetric character for many fermions is the Slater determinant:

|ψn1x1m31ψn2x1m32ψn3x1m33···ψnNx1msNψn1x2m11ψn2x2m32ψn3x2m33···ψψn1x2msNψn3x3m31ψn2x3m12ψn3x3m33ψnNx3msN···············ψn1xNm11ψn2xNm32ψn3xNm33···ψnNxNmsN|

It is based on the fact that for N fermions there must be Ndifferent individual-particle states, or sets of quantum numbers. The ith state has spatial quantum numbers (which might be ni,ℓi, and mfi) represented simply byni and spin quantum number msi. Were it occupied by the ith particle, the slate would beψni(xj)msi a column corresponds to a given state and a row to a given particle. For instance, the first column corresponds to individual particle state ψn(xj)ms1. Where jprogresses (through the rows) from particle 1 to particle N. The first row corresponds to particle I. which successively occupies all individual-particle states (progressing through the columns). (a) What property of determinants ensures that the multiparticle state is 0 if any two individual particle states are identical? (b) What property of determinants ensures that switching the labels on any two particles switches the sign of the multiparticle state?

Suppose that the channel’s outgoing end is in the hydrogen l=0Stem-Gerlach apparatus of the figure. You place a second such apparatus whose channel is aligned with the first but rotated 90°about the x-axis, so that its B –field lines point roughly in the y-direction instead of the. What would you see emerging at the end of your added apparatus? Consider the behavior of the spin-up and spin-down beams separately. Assume that when these beams are separated in the first apparatus, we can choose to block one or the other for study, but also assume that neither deviates too far from the center of the channel.

Whether a neutral whole atom behaves as bosons or a fermion is independent of Z, instead depending entirely on the number of the neutrons in its nucleus. Why? What is it about this number that determines whether the atom is a boson or a fermion?

Assume that the spin-orbit interaction is not overwhelmed by an external magnetic field what isthe minimum angle the total angular momentum vector may make with the z -axis in a3state of hydrogen?

The Kαline in copper is a very common one to use in X-ray crystallography. To produce it, electrons are accelerated through a potential difference and smashed into a copper target. Section 7.8 gives the energies in a hydrogen like atom asZ2(-13.6eV/n2) . Making the reasonable approximation that ann=1 electron in copper orbits the nucleus and half of its fellow n=1electron, being unaffected by the roughly spherical cloud of other electrons around it. Estimate the minimum accelerating potential needed to make a hole in copper'sKshell.
