On the Quantum Correction For Thermodynamic Equilibrium

The probability of a configuration is given in classical theory by the Boltzmann formula $\mathrm{exp}[\ensuremath{-}\frac{V}{\mathrm{hT}}]$ where $V$ is the potential energy of...

On the Interaction of Electrons in Metals

The energy of interaction between free electrons in an electron gas is considered. The interaction energy of electrons with parallel spin is known to be that of the space charge...

Some Quantum-Mechanical Considerations in the Theory of Reactions Involving an Activation Energy

The activated complex or transition state method for calculating the absolute rate of a chemical reaction with an activation energy would be rigorously valid if classical mechan...
