  1. Quantum Phenomena II:Revision • Hydrogen atom • Quantum numbers • Electron intrinsic spin • Other atoms • More electrons! • Pauli Exclusion Principle • Periodic Table Atomic Structure Fundamental Physics • Particle Physics • The fundamental particles • The fundamental forces • Cosmology • The big bang • The evolution of the universe http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~parkes/teaching/QP/QP.html Chris Parkes April/May 2003

  2. Quantum Numbers • Atom can only be in a discrete set of states n,l,m • Diff. From classical picture with any orbit • Principle n fixes energy - quantized • Integer >=1 • l fixes angular momentum L • Integer in range 0 to n-1 • m (or ml ) fixes z component of angular momentum • Integer in range –l to +l

  3. Total Angular momentum • Orbital angular momentum L, e orbiting nucleus • L2=l(l+1)h • Quantum number l • notation l=spdfg…., l=0,1,2,3,4… • lhas z-component ml, (-l….+l) • Interacts with magnetic field, U=mlBB • Zeeman effect gives splitting of states • Spin s=1/2, intrinsic property of electron • Has ms =-1/2, +1/2 • So splits an l state into two • Total Angular Momentum J • Sum of orbital and spin • Anomalous Zeeman effect / Stern-Gerlach Expt

  4. Energy levels • Hydrogen Energy levels  1/n2 , scale is eV • In a magnetic field E will depend upon other quantum numbers (ml,ms), for Zeeman effect this is: [For anomalous zeeman effect from electron spin it is Where g is gyromagnetic ratio ~ 2]

  5. Energy Levels cont.. electrons nucleus • For multi-electron atoms • Energy splitting depends on l even in absence of magnetic field. • occurs due to screening effect • Central field approximation • Pauli Exclusion principle • No two fermions in same state • …Structure of Periodic table

  6. Particle Physics • Forces are due to exchange of the fundamental force carrying bosons • Photon,gluon,W+,W-,Zo (and presumably graviton) • Know the fundamental particles • Three generations of quarks and leptons • Don’t observe free quarks • Confined in colourless hadrons • Added some more conservation laws • Energy, momentum, electric charge • Baryon number, lepton number • Particle interactions can be written as Feynman diagrams • Know the basic vertices, and conservation laws to see whether or not a reaction will occur.

  7. Particle interactions • Some basic standard model vertices:

  8. The Big Bang • Evidence for the Big Bang • It is dark at night! See Olbers Paradox • Universe expanding • Cosmic microwave background • Relative abundance of elements in universe • Universe Expanding – Hubble’s law • Hence universe ~ 15 billion years old v = H x d, Velocity Hubble const. distance

  9. Evolution of the universe • Controlled by Quantum Phenomena • Early stages dominated by basic particle physics • Later stages by gravitational effects • Starts at high temp., high density • Cools down and expands…. • Key stages • Separation of forces into the four basic forces • Formation of nuclei • Formation of atoms • Microwave background radiation, remnant photons from when atoms formed • Then gravitation dominates and stars and galaxies form
