Research paper thumbnail of On a Unified Potential Energy Function for Ionic and Non-ionic Bonds and the Question of Chemical Bonding

It is shown that on using a "uni-versal" Sutherland parameter defined as ⊿ = ½kere 2/Dion, the anomalous behaviour disappears. Hard spectroscopic evidence is thus presented, for the first time to the author's knowledge, that just one bond type, in fact an ionic one, can account, in first approximation, for the spectral behaviour of both non-ionic and ionic bonds, H2 included.

All constants ω e , k e , and r e needed for the H 2 vibrational system derive from hydrogen mass. Ionic Kratzer bond theory gives covalent bond energy within 0.08% and all levels within 0.02%, which is 30 times better than with a Dunham oscillator and as accurate as early ab initio quantum mechanics.

Research paper thumbnail of Cuban scientific articles in ISI citation indexes and CubaCiencias databases (1988-2003)

The number of articles published in Cuban journals, ISI-DBs, the author associativeness trend, the most important institutions and other indicators are collected. However, it is observed that CubaCiencias and ISI-DBs are not perfectly suitable for a study of the productivity of Cuban authors. It is necessary to properly standardize the author fields. For bibliometric studies, Cuba needs a database not only for the published papers in Cuban journals, but also for all the papers published by Cuban authors.

Research paper thumbnail of Universal equation of state for atoms: Van der waals-Maxwell-type phase-transition between hydrogen- and antihydrogen-states in neutral H

If a universal equation of state (UEOS) for atoms exists, P (V) or U(r) diagrams can be used with the Vanderwaals-Maxwell binodal and spinodal. This reveals the energy dependence of an atom upon size variations and the corresponding intra-atomic phasetransition. We show that the H Lyman ns-series indeed provides evidence for an intra-atomic phase-transition. We promote Bohr 1/n2 theory to an ideal atom theory, with atomic size varying as r=n2r0, wherein only the Bohr radius r0 = ħ2/μe2 and n, the principal quantum number, are needed. We detect a critical point for a phase-transition in H for n between 5 and 6, if the Bohr Rydberg 109678.7737 cm-1, the H ground state energy, is used as the asymptote. Unlike bound state QED, we associate this phase-transition with a shift from an atom (hydrogen)to an antiatom (antihydrogen)-state. This sy...

The H 2 potential energy curve (PEC) of Mexican hat-type, calculated with a confined Kratzer oscillator, is better than the Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) H 2 PEC. Compared with QM, the theory of chemical bonding is simplified, since a confined Kratzer oscillator gives the long sought for universal function, once called the Holy Grail of Molecular Spectroscopy. This is validated with HF, I 2 , N 2 and O 2 PECs. We quantify the entanglement of spatially separated H 2 quantum states, which gives a braid view. The equal probability for H 2 , originating either from H A +H B or H B +H A , is quantified with a Gauss probability density function. At the Bohr scale, confined harmonic oscillators behave properly at all extremes of bound two-nucleon quantum systems and are likely to be useful also at the nuclear scale.

This generic H symmetry, obeying Euclid's golden ratio [sqrt(5)-1]/2 for its 2 constituent complementary parts, is confirmed with precise H terms. These give away a Hundtype Mexican hat curve for natural H, which points to its mirrored variant, antihydrogen H. We predict that term H 1S-3S, to be measured soon, is 2 922 743 278 654(2) kHz.
