Electrostatic Energy Density Calculator. However, BNP is a valid descriptor in its own right. (iii) In the presence of both the dielectric medium and cations, the MEP distribution is very similar to that in isolated DNA, and the MEP minima occur in the minor and major grooves. However, the definition of molecular reactivity patterns has been the research area in which the MEP has proved to be most useful for chemists (72-88). a chromatography retention model [5]; protein folding and interactions [6]; enzymatic reactions [7]; cell differentiation [8]; muscle activity [9]; etc. Just a glance at recent literature reveals applications of electrostatic potential to fields as diverse as chemical structure and properties [3]; chemical reactivity and kinetics [4]; chemical modeling, e.g. I don't really understand the confusion here. In classical mechanics, energy is defined only up to an additive constant, so you're free to choose what to consider the zero level of the potential energy. I checked in an old textbook, which says that 595 is a (reasonable) definition that can't be derived from integral equations like 594. In fact, the ability of small molecules to be recognized at the binding pocket of macromolecules has usually been predicted from inspection of MEP maps. Since EP has maxima only at the positions of the nuclei [27], v max is not an adequate indicator. The effects of dielectric media on electrostatic properties were included using a distance-dependent dielectric function [232, 234]. King Wai Chiu Lai, ... Yilun Luo, in Nano Optoelectronic Sensors and Devices, 2012, The electrostatic potential ø of a carbon nanotube can be calculated by Poisson's equation (5.8), where e is the electron charge; ε is the dielectric constant; and ρ is for the charge density. Such descriptors can be valuable for generation of structure-property relationships. The self-energy matrix Σ for the nanotube contact can be obtained from the electrode size and contact length. 11 clearly shows the negative potential associated with the electronegative oxygen atoms [12]. By solving the the NEGF formulas and Poisson's equation iteratively, the electron transport of the CNT device can be obtained. However, molecular EP can be derived from X-ray diffraction data. The force on the free energy surface (the force felt by the solute molecule) is. The MEP maps for dimer cluster, where one of the silicon is substituted by aluminum in the cluster representing the surface of the tetrahedral layer of montmorillonite clay. VBNP(r→) in QSAR/QSPR studies. The large energy difference between the two kinds of electrons also justifies the use of perturbation techniques in a general description of scattering phenomena as ground-state properties. where ∈ is the dielectric constant. These observations, together with other documented [17] examples of qualitative similarity between electron density and bare nuclear potential fields gives ground to this relationship. The MEP map for siliceous surface of the montmorillonite clay is shown in Figure 20, as depicted by the cluster model containing two SiO4 groups, sharing an oxygen atom. Regarding electromagnetic waves, both magnetic and electric field are equally involved in contributing to energy density. Electrostatic properties and atomic accessibility have been combined into a single index known as Accessible Surface Integrated Field (ASIF) [184, 232] which is defined as the integral of the normal component of MEF passing through the surface accessible area of the given atom. to 0.06 a.u. The MEP maps for silicon dimer cluster representing the surface of the tetrahedral layer of montmorillonite clay. Also, molecular EP can be evaluated at any level of ab initio theory for small enough systems. C.M. VBNP(r→)) is well investigated. Solution: Given, E = 5V/m. The second type of research effort is exemplified by a series of investigations utilizing the properties of the scalar field of This allows for many combined investigations in which experimental data is used together with calculated properties. ... Of course, we now have to assume that an electric field possesses an energy density (595) We … and the positive potentials in the range of 0.00 to 0.06 a.u. The energy density formula of the … MEP maps determined at the HF/6-31G(d) level for benzene (A) and formaldehyde (B). 5.2. In other words, it is not enough to use a potential of sufficient accuracy, it is also necessary to show significant correlation between EP and the investigated molecular property. May be the confusione is due to the fact that that density function is not unique, you can just add any function whose integral is 0 on V. Among all those functions, 595 has been choosen, by definition, as, you can just add any function whose integral is 0 on V. It is what I intended when I said "(reasonable) definition" in my first post. The MEP in clay minerals have been known to play crucial roles in deciding their layered structure as well as their acidic property.
