Outline

Philosophy

Bond & nonbond formation, dissociation, relaxation, vibration & the associated energetics & dynamics of charge densification, localization, polarization & repopulation determine the macroscopic properties of condensed matter & the transport dynamics of electrons, dielectrics, phonons, & photons

Inspiration

Coordination bond-band theory for atomic-cluster size dependency, molecular chemisorption dynamics, & H bond asymmetric relaxation dynamics

Ice Rule

 (Pauling 1935)

²  Replacement of H with metals & O with C, N, & F with inclusion of energetics leads to the bond-band-barrier correlation theory for chemisorption bond-and-bond forming dynamics & consequences;

²  Quantification of bond geometry, atomic valancy & 4-stage Cu3O2 bonding dynamics;

²  Design blue light emission, ultrahigh elasticity, & diamond-metal adhesion;

²  Segmentation for the H-bond asymmetric relaxation dynamics and the physical anomalies of H2O under various stimuli.

Atomic CN-Radius

Correlation

 (Goldschmidt 1927;

Pauling 1947)

²  BOLS theory covers energetics and unifies the undercoordinated adatoms defects, surfaces, amorphous & nanostructures and the size dependency of nanostructures;

²  New freedom of crystal size leads to quantification of physical parameters that are beyond convention.

²  The ill-coordination induced local bond relaxation, localization, densification, quantum entrapment of core charge & binding energy

Defect & Impurity

Strong Localization

 (Anderson, 1957; 1979)

²  Nonbonding electron polarization (NEP) by the densely entrapped core and bonding electrons at edges & boundaries

²  Edge-selective creation of the Dirac-Fermi polarons

²  Catalytic nature of the least coordinated noble metals;

²  The soul of graphene & carbon nanotubes

Debye & Classical

Thermodynamics

²  Meso-mechano-thermo dynamics to correlate the detectable quantity to the bond order, nature length, & energy Q(z, m, d, E) & their response to the applied stimuli;

Numerical Approaches

²  Local bond averaging (LBA) approach for the Q (z, m, d, E) to complement existing classical & quantum approaches in particular dealing with the ill-coordinated systems;

²  Debye temperature & atomic cohesive energy from T-dependence;

²  Compressibility & binding energy density from P-dependence.

²  BOLS-TB algorithm formulation of the amplified Strong Localization of Anderson

Experimental Innovation

Capability Enhancement (Quantitative Spectroscopy)

Phonon

 

²  Raman & FTIR: Bond length, energy, stiffness, reference frequency from which the Raman shift proceeds; w-T ÞqD, EC; w-PÞb, Edensity; etc.

Photon

²  PL & PA: Band gap, stokes shift; quantum efficiency; exciton life time

Dielectric

²  Coco-plot & elipsometry: Dielectric transition and relaxation; activation energy; resistance; refraction index

Electron

 

²  STM/S & VLEED: Band gap, polarization, transport dynamics, atomic valency; reaction dynamics; bond geometry & bonding dynamics

²  PES (UPS, XPS, AES): Energy levels of an isolated atom, bulk shift; bond length, energy, surface & interface energy; energy density, cohesive energy; etc.
