Abstract

Calculation of He atomic energy levels using the first order perturbation theory taught in the Basic Quantum Mechanics course has led to relatively large errors. To improve its accuracy, several methods have been developed but most of them are too complicated to be understood by undergraduate students. The purposes of this study are to apply a simple matrix method in calculating some of the lowest energy levels of He atom (1s2, triplet 1s2s, and singlet 1s2s states) and to reduce errors obtained from calculations using the standard perturbation theory. The convergence of solutions as a function of the number of bases is also examined. The calculation is done analytically for 3 bases and computationally with the number of bases using MATHEMATICA. First, the 2-electron wave function of the Helium atom is written as the multiplication of two He+ ion wave functions, which are then expanded into finite dimension bases. These bases are used to calculate the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix, which are then substituted back to the energy eigenvalue equation to determine the energy values of the system. Based on the calculation results, the error obtained for the He ground state energy using 3 bases is 2.51 %, smaller than the errors of the standard perturbation theory (5.28 %). Despite the fact that the error is still relatively large from the analytical calculations for singlet-triplet 1s2s energy splitting of He atom, this error is successfully reduced significantly as more bases were used in the numerical calculations. In particular, for n = 25, the current calculation error for all states is much smaller than the errors obtained from calculations using standard perturbation theory. In conclusion, the analytical calculations for the energy eigenvalue equation for the 3 lowest states of the Helium atom using 3 bases have been carried out. It was also found in this study that increasing the number of bases in our numerical calculations has significantly reduced the errors obtained from the analytical calculations.

Abstract

Abstrak Efek kontaminasi harmonik radiasi synchrotron perlu dideteksi dan dikoreksi karena walaupun telah melalui monokromator, energi sinar-x pada umumnya masih merupakan gabungan energi dasar dan kelipatan bilangan bulatnya. Pada artikel ini, deteksi efek harmonik dilakukan pada data serapan sinar-x struktur halus (XAFS) Ni(II)-bis-(n-isopropylsalicylaldiminato) dengan menggunakan metode X-ray Extended Range Technique (XERT). Dalam metode ini, aluminum foil dengan beberapa variasi ketebalan ditempatkan pada daisy wheel untuk memberikan variasi nilai serapan terukur sampel, yang digunakan untuk menginvestigasi adanya perbedaan gradien plot koefisien serapan vs ketebalan aluminum. Selanjutnya, persamaan Beer-Lambert dimodifikasi dan difit untuk memperoleh nilai fraksi harmonik. Nilai-nilai fraksi harmonik ini kemudian diinterpolasi untuk mencakup nilai-nilai energi lain dimana efek ini dominan. Dari hasil fitting, ditemukan bahwa efek harmonik dominan pada interval energi 8.5 keV - 13.5 keV dengan nilai fraksi harmonik berada pada rentang sekitar 0.02 % sampai 0.04 %. Sementara itu, untuk energi 13.50 keV – 19.00 keV, efek ini tidak ditemukan. Dari hasil ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa kontaminasi harmonik ditemukan dominan pada kawasan energi yang vital pada analisis XAFS Ni(II) kompleks dan oleh karena itu perlu dikoreksi dari data terukur. Kata kunci: kontaminasi harmonik; XERT; radiasi synchrotron; serapan sinar-x struktur halus Abstract Harmonic contamination of synchrotron radiation needs to be detected and corrected because x-ray passing through the monochromator may still have higher order harmonics in addition to its fundamental energy. Here, detection of the harmonic effect on X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Data (XAFS) of Ni(II)-bis-(n-isopropylsalicylaldiminato) was done using the X-ray Extended Range Technique (XERT). The method utilised aluminum foils with various thicknesses mounted in daisy wheels, used to investigate the gradient differences in absorption coefficient vs aluminum thickness plots. The Beer-Lambert equation had to be modified dan fitted to find the harmonic fractions of the beam. These values were then interpolated to account for other energies where the effect was dominant. The results showed that the effect was dominant between 8.5 keV and 13.5 keV, with harmonic fractions being about 0.02 % - 0.04 %. In contrast, there was no such effect found between 13.50 keV and 19.00 keV. To conclude, harmonic contamination was found to be in energy range that was vital for XAFS analysis for Ni(II) complex and thus had to be removed from the measured data.

Abstract The study on the determination of ground state energy of exotic muonic helium system by variational principle approximation has been done. The basic ideas of this method are to choose a trial wave function consisting of an adjustable variational parameter and to minimize the expectation value of its Hamiltonian operator which is called the average energy. The trial wave function used is the ground state hydrogenic ion wave function (orbital approximation). The operator Hamiltonian of this system is operated on the trial wave function and its value is minimized, from which the ground state energy of this system was found to be about . This value is greater than that of both atom and system . This difference is caused by the difference in the reduced masses of these systems in the orbital approximation. Keywords: Hydrogenic ions, Ground state energy, Trial wave function, Orbital approximation, Variational Principle.
