  1. Chapter 40 All About Atoms In this chapter we continue with a primary goal of physics―discovering and understanding the properties of atoms. 100 years ago researchers struggled to find experiments that would prove the existence of atoms. Today, thanks to scientific and technological progress, we can manipulate atoms in amazing ways: we can image individual atoms using scanning tunneling microscopy; we can drag them on surfaces to make quantum corrals, and even hold an individual atom indefinitely in a trap in order to study its properties when isolated. (40-1)

  2. 40-2 Some Properties of Atoms Basic Properties Atoms are stable. Essentially all atoms have remained unchanged for billions of years. Atoms combine with each other. Atoms stick together to form molecules and stack up to form rigid solids. Even though atoms are mostly empty space, their interactions allow you to stand on a floor without falling through! These basic properties can be explained by quantum mechanics. (40-2)

  3. Some Properties of Atoms Fig. 40-2 Subtler Properties Atoms Are Put Together Systematically. There are repetitive (periodic) patterns in the properties of different atoms that allow them to be organized into a periodic table. Six periods with 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, and 32 atoms in each period, respectively. These numbers are predicted by quantum mechanics. Ionization energy vs. atomic number (number of protons in nucleus) (40-3)

  4. Some Properties of Atoms Fig. 40-3 Subtler Properties, cont’d Atoms Emit and Absorb Light: Atoms Have Angular Momentum and Magnetism: “Orbit” of each electron (more correct to think in terms of angular momentum of electronic state) can produce a magnetic moment. (40-4)

  5. Some Properties of Atoms Fig. 40-4 Subtler Properties, cont’d Einstein-de Haas Experiment: Angular momentum and magnetic moment of atoms are coupled. Aligning magnetic moments of iron atoms using an external magnetic field causes the iron cylinder to rotate in a direction opposite to the now-aligned angular momenta of the iron atoms (conservation of angular momentum). (40-5)

(z-component) Spin s½ Spin angular momentum Spin magnetic ms±½ Spin ang. mom. (z-component) Trapped or free, electrons have intrinsic spin angular momentum S (spin). This is a basic characteristic like the electron’s mass or charge. This leads to two additional quantum numbers that are required to fully specify the electronic state: s (magnitude of the spin, which is always ½ for electrons) and ms (the component of spin along the z-axis). States with same n form a shell. States with same value for n and l form a subshell. (40-6)

  9. Spin Angular Momentum and Spin Magnetic Dipole Moment Fig. 40-6 S, the magnitude of the spin angular momentum, has a single value for any electron, whether free or trapped: where s (=½) is spin quantum number of the electron. The spin magnetic dipole moment ms is related to S and is given by: (40-9)

  14. Magnetic Resonance, cont’d Fig. 40-11 The net magnetic field that a proton experiences consists of the vector sum of the externally applied magnetic field Bext and internal fields Bint magnetic dipole moments of atoms and nuclei near the proton→ Bint For fixed radio frequency light, when Bext = hf/2mz- Bint→absorption occurs. Bint is different for protons in different molecules, so the resonance Bext will be different for protons in different molecules (local environment). Resonances provide a fingerprint of what (and where in the case of Magnetic Resonance imaging) different proton-containing molecules are present in the material studied. (40-14)

  15. 40-7 Pauli Exclusion Principle No two electrons confined to the same trap (or atom) can have the same set of values for their quantum numbers. 40-8 Multiple Electrons in Rectangular Traps 1. One-dimensional trap. Two quantum numbers n=1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along L) and ms= +½ or -½. 2.Rectangular corral. Three quantum numbers nx = 1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along Lx) , ny = 1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along Ly), and ms= +½ or -½. 3.Rectangular box. Four quantum numbers nx = 1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along Lx) , ny = 1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along Ly), nz = 1, 2, 3… (wavefunction state along Lz), and ms= +½ or -½. (40-15)

  16. Finding the Total Energy Fig. 40-13 Adding electrons to a rectangular trap: Use energy level diagram. Start at lowest energy level and move up as lower levels become filled. Empty (unoccupied) level Partially filled level Filled levels (40-16)

Subshells are labeled by letters: l= 0 1 2 3 4 5 . . . spdfgh . . . Example: n = 3, l= 2→ 3d subshell (40-17)

  19. Building the Periodic Table , cont’d Iron:Z = 26→26 electrons For atoms with a larger number of electrons, the interactions among the electrons causes shells with the same n but different l to have different energies (degeneracy lifted). 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6 4s2 Due to interactions, it takes less energy to start filling the 4s subshell before completing the filling of the 3d subshell, which can accommodate 10 electrons.

  20. 40-10 X Rays and Ordering of Elements Fig. 40-15 Fig. 40-14 X rays are short-wavelength (10-10 m), high-energy (~keV ) photons. Photons in the visible range: ~ 10-6 m; ~eV. Useful for probing atoms Independent of target material (40-20)

  21. Characteristic X-Ray Spectrum Fig. 40-16 • Energetic electron strikes atom in target, knocks out deep-lying (low n value). If deep-lying electron in n = 1 (K-shell), it leaves a vacancy (hole) behind. • Another electron from a higher energy shell in the atom jumps down to the K-shell to fill this hole, emitting an x-ray photon in the process. If the electron that jumps into the hole starts from the n = 2 (L-shell), the emitted radiation is the Ka line. If it jumps from the n = 3 (M-shell), the emitted radiation is the Kb line. The hole left in the n = 2 or n = 3 shells is filled by still higher lying electrons, which relax by emitting lower energy photons (higher lying energy levels are more closely spaced). (40-21)

  22. Ordering Elements Fig. 40-17 Moseley (1913) bombarded different elements with x rays. Nuclear charge, not mass, is the critical parameter for ordering elements. (40-22)

  24. 40-11 Lasers and Laser Light • Laser light is highly monochromatic: Its spread in wavelength is as small as 1 part in 1015. • Laser light is highly coherent: Single uninterrupted wave train up to 100 km long. Can interfere one part of beam, with another part that is very far away. • Laser light is highly directional: Beam spreads very little. Beam from Earth to Moon only spreads a few meters after traveling 4 x 108 m. • Laser light can be sharply focused: Can be focused into very small spot so that all the power is concentrated into a tiny area. Can reach intensities of 1017 W/cm2, compared to 103 W/cm2 for oxyacetylene torch. Lasers have many uses: Small: voice/data transmission over optic fibers, CDs, DVDs, scanners Medium: medical, cutting (from cloth to steel), welding Large: nuclear fusion research, astronomical measurements, military applications (40-24)
