Pag.Pag...Pag....Pag Dnab Ygrene

From the post "Energy Band Gap....Gap...Gap.Gap",

dPEredt=13me˙r3edredTd2Tdr2e

It is possible to rearrange the terms to give,

dPEredt=12me˙r2edredTd2Tdr2e23˙re

dPEredt=KEredredTd2Tdr2e23˙re

dPEredt=23KEredredTd2Tdr2edredt

We will formulate the change of total energy,

U=T+V=KE+(PE)

dUdt=dKEredtdPEredt

So the total change in energy is,

ΔU=1.dKEre23KEredredTd2Tdr2edre

ΔU=KEre23KEredredTd2Tdr2edre

ΔU=KEre23KEredredTd(dTdre)dredre

ΔU=KEre23KEredredTd(dTdre)

KEre is an expression in ˙re  which  in  the use of the Lagrangian is treated as an independent variable.

ΔU=KEre{123ln(dTdre)}+C

If we focus on the kink point  re1  to  re1+ε  where  ε  is very small, and
let  re2=re1+ε.  re1  is just before the kink and  re2  is just after the kink in the  re  vs  T  profile.

ΔU={KEre{1+23ln(dredT)}}ba

where  a=dredT|re2  and   b=dredT|re1

Note that the direction of integration is from higher orbit to lower orbit.

ΔU={KEre+23KEreln(dredT)}ba

ΔU=KEre|re1KEre|re2+23KEre|re1ln(dredT|re1)23KEre|re2ln(dredT|re2)

 Since,  re  did not change,  PEre  does not change.  PE after all is defined as energy stored by virtue of position. All the energy of the band gap is then due to a change in  KEre alone.

ΔU=ΔKEre=KEre|re1KEre|re2

So,

23KEre|re2ln(dredT|re2)+23KEre|re1ln(dredT|re1)=0

and

KEre|re2=KEre|re1ln(dredT|re1)ln(dredT|re2)

Moving from lower to higher orbit,

ΔU=KEre|re2KEre|re1=KEre|re1{ln(dredT|re1)ln(dredT|re2)1}

EBG=ΔU=KEre|re1{ln(dredT|re1)ln(dredT|re2)1}

This is a much more involved quantification of Energy Band Gap.  We know that,

dredT<0

But,  1xd(x)=ln(x)+c

So,   1xd(x)=ln(|x|)+c

and so, knowing that we have negative gradients,

EBG=KEre|re1{ln(|(dredT|re1)|)/ln(|(dredT|re2)|)1}

we use their absolute values only.  And since,

|(dredT|re1)| is large

EBG<0,    when

|(dredT|re2)|<1

This is the condition for quantum emission on transit to a higher orbit.  Very strange indeed.  For most material  re  is small, the change of  re  with  T  is even smaller.  So this is a common phenomenon, the top part of the  re vs  T graph has a very gentle slope less then  1.

Losing energy going from a lower orbit to a higher one, is as if the electron is repulsed by the nucleus.
