Chapter 16, Problem 16.15E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ΔE values experienced by the ground state (4F3/2) energy levels of V atom are to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The change in energy (ΔE) of the state depends on the strength of the magnetic field (B) and the z-component quantum number (ML) in the presence of magnetic field. The expression for the change in energy (ΔE) is written below.

ΔE=μBMLB

The value of (ML) can be positive, negative or zero. Hence, the change in energy (ΔE) can be positive, negative or zero. The change in energy (ΔE) of the state is equal to the amount of splitting.

Answer to Problem 16.15E

The ΔE values experienced by the ground state (4F3/2) energy levels of V atom are 3.10×1024J, 1.03×1024J, +1.03×1024J and +3.10×1024J.

Explanation of Solution

The ΔE values experienced by the ground state (4F3/2) energy levels of V atom are calculated by the formula given below.

ΔE=gμBMJB…(1)

Where,

μB is Bohr magneto (9.274×1024J/T).

(MJ) is the z-component quantum number.

g is Lande g factor.

B is earth’s magnetic field.

The value of g is calculated by the formula given below.

g=1+j(j+1)+s(s+1)l(l+1)2j(j+1)…(2)

Where,

j, s and l are quantum numbers.

The values of j, s and l for (4F3/2) state are 3/2, 3/2 and 3.

Substitute the values of j, s and l in equation (2).

g=1+3/2(3/2+1)+3/2(3/2+1)3(3+1)2×3/2(3/2+1)=1+15/4+15/41230/4=1+30/41230/4=118/430/4

Simplify the above equation.

g=135=25

One gauss equals to 1.0×104T. Therefore 5.57×103G will be equal to 0.557T.

The value of μB and B are (9.274×1024J/T) and 0.557T.

Substitute the values of μB, B and g in equation (1).

When MJ=(32),

ΔE=gμBMJB=25×9.274×1024J/T×(32)×0.557T=(35)×5.165×1024J=3.10×1024J

When MJ=(12),

ΔE=gμBMJB=25×9.274×1024J/T×(12)×0.557T=(15)×5.165×1024J=1.03×1024J

When MJ=0, ΔE will be zero.

When MJ=32,

ΔE=gμBMJB=25×9.274×1024J/T×32×0.557T=35×5.165×1024J=3.10×1024J

When MJ=12,

ΔE=gμBMJB=25×9.274×1024J/T×12×0.557T=15×5.165×1024J=1.03×1024J

Conclusion

The ΔE values experienced by the ground state (4F3/2) energy levels of V atom are 3.10×1024J, 1.03×1024J, +1.03×1024J and +3.10×1024J.

1) Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is a commonly used characterization technique in Materials Science to determine the elemental composition of materials. To do this, EDX measures the emitted characteristic x-rays from materials (e.g. Ka), generated due to the excitation of electrons from a lower energy shell to a higher energy one. Assume that you are working as a Materials Engineer in a company that produces cars. Your company has purchased 1 ton of Cr-Fe-Cu alloy to fabricate a certain part of the car. Your boss asks you to determine whether the material your company purchased is, in fact Cr-Fe-Cu alloy. If it there is another element present in the material, you will return the purchased material and stop production. So, you perform EDX analysis on your material and you see that three x-ray energies are detected: 5416, 6406 and 8050 eV. Determine which elements are present in your material and decide whether you should send the purchased material back or continue…
