Trying to understand lowest configurations of carbon

Electron configuration means the distribution of electrons in atomic (or molecular) orbitals. Here you seem to have an idea dealing with angular and spin momenta. Hund's rule can tell us what the low …

Hermitian conjugate of differential operator

Hermitian conjugate (also called adjoint) of the operator $A$ is the operator $A^*$ satisfying $$\langle f,Ag\rangle\,=\,\langle A^* f,g\rangle \text{ for all }f,g\,\in H$$ $H$ is so-called Hilbert sp …

Commutator of position and momentum

Two main points are.... Generally $\langle{x}|[X,P]|\alpha\rangle \not= \langle{x}|XP|\alpha\rangle-\langle{x}|PX|\alpha\rangle$ When $[X,P]=XP-PX$ is an well-defined operator in a Hilbert space, …

Mathematical confusion in quantum mechanics

$\int{x\psi\nabla^2\psi^*}d\tau=\int{\psi^*\nabla^2(x\psi)}d\tau$?? $\int{x\psi\nabla^2\psi^*}d\tau=\int x\psi (\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2}+\frac{\partial^2}{\pa …

Characteristic Ka X-rays

I'll give you some points here. If you just treat $K_\alpha$-rays as a transition from principal number 2 to 1, $\Delta E \approx \frac{3}{4}Z^2$ Hartree, which has unit of keV when $Z>10$. Use char …
