I am not quite sure what you are asking. If you specify HF/basis and your system has an odd number of electrons, Gaussian will automatically use the UHF algorithm. If you want to use ROHF, you will have to invoke it specifically in the route statement. See the "Examples" tab at https://gaussian.com/hf/

Science does not stand still. New opportunities for research keep appearing and, as a result, new findings and discoveries happen hand to hand with artifact discoveries. These discovery some time with considerable controversy in the literature, sometimes at unusually impoliteand unprofessional levels. Some time artifact discoveries also surprised the world of science.
1) Different groups presents different results on same material and trying to prove each other results as wrong. Is it not sicietificy sound if these groups exchange specimens before they claim the work of others is simply wrong?
2) In some cases materials have been considered to be with ground breaking discovery when the data can be interpreted more simply via other well-known mechanisms. Is it not import to look wider before claims a breakthrough discovery?
3) In some cases the experimental results are true, despite theory implying that this is not possible. Is it appropriate to reject a experimental output just because theory doesn't exits which can explain it?
4) Controversy and attention on a new anomalous phenomenon such as Room Temperature Superconductivity.

Hi all,
I want to put a microphone behind a carbon fiber housing. The housing is needed to shield unwanted electromagnetic radiation of a complex electronic system. The microphone has a typical directivity and should be used to measure typical frequency spectrum of human speech.
I will design a slit in the housing to allow acoustic waves to reach the microphone. In addition I have put a waterproof membrane to minimize any moisture to enter the structur.
What should be taken into account regarding influence of carbon fiber and membrane to resulting directivit?
Thank you for your support
Sebastian
Relevant answer
Answer
Assuming that the penetration of the carbon fiber structure can be neglected as compared to the slit covered by the membrane, that the length of the slit is larger than the wavelength in the spectrum of interest, and applying Huygens–Fresnel principle, my guess is that the directivity in the plane defined by the endpoints of the slit and the microphone is only slightly deteriorated while in the plane perpendicular to the first one there is hardly any directivity left.

Relevant answer
Answer
First, you may need to finalize what are the EMI/EMC tests and their severity level, your system will be subjected to. It is always recommended to consider EMI/EMC during the initial stage of design. Several guidelines pertaining to selection of components, PCB layout, wiring, shielding, filter, surge protectors etc. need to be followed in design.

I am curious how it could be determined by using conventional spectroscopy techniques.
Relevant answer
Answer
Define conventional? The presence of an unpaired electron and its chemical properties in relation to a SOMO model can be clearly obtained with EPR. If really only a check of the presence of a unpaired electron is desired, a SQUID could suffice. If you want to use an optical technique, and assuming you are dealing with a transition metal complex, you'd have to find a method to take advantage of spin-orbit coupling effects, but that would depend on the particular electronic structure of what you are trying to study.

Hello there,
I am a 3rd-year undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Student and I am stuck on the circuits bit for my dissertation. My dissertation is to develop an electronic system to perform trans-impedance measurement on biosensors (https://www.researchgate.net/project/Development-of-electronic-system-to-perform-trans-impedance-measurement-on-biosensors). I have already done a review on different applications of bioimpedance measurement, however now I have to do a review on different circuits used for bioimpedance measurement with their advantages and disadvantages. I can find papers that show circuits but don't find complete circuits.

Question

Hello,
I have been trying to compute the wave function relaxation energy in VASP as one adds or subtracts an electron into a system. In other words, I am looking for a way to "freeze" the orbitals/wavefunctions of a neutral system(hence preventing the update of the orbitals/wavefunctions) as an electron is added to the system. 
By looking into the VASP manual, I have found these two parameters:
IALGO = 3 !Orbitals (one-electron wavefunctions) are kept fixed
ALGO = Eigenval ! recalculate one electron energies,using the current orbitals
However by using these parameters, the OUTCAR still gives me the following:
"Static calculation
charge density and potential will be updated during run
spin polarized calculation
Eigenval: update one-electron energies, occupancies fixed
band-by band algorithm"
After seeing this output, I have thought of two possible options:
Option 1: updating the charge density is indeed correct since one is adding an electron to the system and everything seems okay.
Option1:  If the pre-converged orbitals obtained from the neutral system (without addition of electron) are indeed "frozen", why would the density be updated? It appears as if VASP is still somehow self-consistently updating my density during the run, which hence made me use the parameter:
ICHARG = 11 !charge density is kept constant
However, by using this "ICHARG =11 parameter", I am enforcing the charge density not to change from pre-converged density obtained from the neutral system (without addition of electron). This might not make sense since I am technically adding an electron to the neutral system. 
Relevant answer
Answer
The standard wave function (psi function) is not a mapping of orbitals, even though it begins with a particle Hamiltonian before Schroedinger's trick of converting it to wave functions using the de Broglie hypothesis.  This is all just Fourier analysis (just math, no physics) to generate statistical measurement numbers.

Hi all,
I have this question in mind and read about it, found that v-representable density is the ground state density of a system of N-electrons in the presence of some Vext and n-representable is the density of a system of N-electrons.
So, Is the n-representable density is not the ground state density and any arbitrary density? Further is it the density of just the electronic system i.e. without including any interactions with the nuclei or the outside world?
Clarity in this is highly appreciated.

I was wondering if it will not short circuit or ruin the MEA is there is a resistance between the plate and the screw?  The screws are to hold the whole PEM cell together.  I have a very high resistance (kilo to mega scale) between the screws but it isn't OL.  
Thanks!
Relevant answer
Dear Sarah,
yes you have to have electrical isolation between the screws and the electrodes of the cell. The normal practice is to put a mica washer between the metallic electrode surface and the nuts of the screw and to make the hole of the screw larger then its diameter. An other solution is to use plastic screws if they are strong enough.
So, the ohmmeter must indicate open loop OL.
However the presence pf large resistance may not act as an effective short circuit between the screw and the metallic plate. But it is a correct practice to isolate the screw from the electrodes.

Answer
I strongly recommend you to read the work of Martin Ravallion. He is the world's leading researcher on the measurement of poverty in less developed and developing countries. His ground-breaking research has allowed the definition of precisely calculated poverty lines that are comparable across countries. His work has also contributed to understanding the causes and solutions of poverty, including relationship between economic growth and poverty alleviation. It would be very interesting to see if the results obtained through data mining technique are aligned with the findings of Ravallion.

I have a signal conditioning circuit for a low frequency(around 30 Hz) and low amplitude signal(in micro volts) which works perfectly on the breadboard when using DIP components. However when implementing the same circuit using SMD components, I do not get the desired output. Also a lot of random events like, IC burning and random outputs are observed. Hence are there some considerations/precautions to be taken when using SMD components?
Relevant answer
Answer
Oha - what a misery!
Aside from not-so-obvious issues like SMD components having a pinout different from the DIP components (rare, but not non-existent), one of the most prevalent sources of problems are MLCC ceramic capacitors: the through-hole variety is quite robust (the leads isolating mechanical stress from the ceramics block), the SMD variety is quite a diva: mechanical stress tends to result in ceramics cracks, which quite often develop into short circuits - within the capacitor or from the cap to a trace underneath the cap.
Not to be forgotten: the smaller pin/pad spacing is prone to shorts between pads (mostly caused by too much solder).
Aside from thorough inspection and appropriate soldering (soldering irons are an absolute no-go regarding capacitors - resort to hot air or IR soldering!), it will help to power the circuit from a power supply with appropriate current limiting capabilities to prevent the biggest disasters and - eventually - allow to observe heat building up before components are charred - enabling intervention and step-by-step repair where necessary.
Wish you success!

The theory of mesoscopical systems can be divided into two parts: theory of mesoscopic quantum systems and the classical theory of mesoscopic systems. In a quantum mesoscopic considered electronic systems. However, this leaves open the question of what the electrons are considered free or bound electrons. In the classical mesoscopic discusses the system properties that are intermediate between the microparticles and macrobodies. Such systems are interesting from the point of view of applications in nanotechnology.

2- Mesoscopic systems: classical irreversibility and quantum coherence
Philosophical Transactions A Vol. 370, 1975
Bernard Barbara
Published 20 August 2012.DOI: 10.1098/rsta.2012.0218
Abstract
Mesoscopic physics is a sub-discipline of condensed-matter physics that focuses on the properties of solids in a size range intermediate between bulk matter and individual atoms. In particular, it is characteristic of a domain where a certain number of interacting objects can easily be tuned between classical and quantum regimes, thus enabling studies at the border of the two. In magnetism, such a tuning was first realized with large-spin magnetic molecules called single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with archetype Mn12-ac. In general, the mesoscopic scale can be relatively large (e.g. micrometre-sized superconducting circuits), but, in magnetism, it is much smaller and can reach the atomic scale with rare earth (RE) ions. In all cases, it is shown how quantum relaxation can drastically reduce classical irreversibility. Taking the example of mesoscopic spin systems, the origin of irreversibility is discussed on the basis of the Landau–Zener model. A classical counterpart of this model is described enabling, in particular, intuitive understanding of most aspects of quantum spin dynamics. The spin dynamics of mesoscopic spin systems (SMM or RE systems) becomes coherent if they are well isolated. The study of the damping of their Rabi oscillations gives access to most relevant decoherence mechanisms by different environmental baths, including the electromagnetic bath of microwave excitation. This type of decoherence, clearly seen with spin systems, is easily recovered in quantum simulations. It is also observed with other types of qubits such as a single spin in a quantum dot or a superconducting loop, despite the presence of other competitive decoherence mechanisms. As in the molecular magnet V15, the leading decoherence terms of superconducting qubits seem to be associated with a non-Markovian channel in which short-living entanglements with distributions of two-level systems (nuclear spins, impurity spins and/or charges) leading to 1/fnoise induce τ1-like relaxation of Sz with dissipation to the bath of two-level systems with which they interact most. Finally, let us mention that these experiments on quantum oscillations are, most of the time, performed in the classical regime of Rabi oscillations, suggesting that decoherence mechanisms might also be treated classically.

Quantum–Classical Transition

Abstract. We analyze the double slit interference of a mesoscopic particle. We calculate the visibility of the interference pattern in the far field case, introduce a characteristic temperature that defines the onset to decoherence and scrutinize the conditions that must be satisfied for an interference experiment to be possible.

I measured Contact Resistance of Aluminium Power Connectors at room temperature and operates at current up to 200 Amp. Now How I can get value of Contact Resistance at higher Temperature like 40 degree without actually heating connectors and then measure.  
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Krunal,
The contact resistance between to metal surfaces brought into contact by firmly pressing them against each other is more probably controlled by the tunneling process of electrons among the a potential barrier formed at the interface between the two metals. If the tunneling barrier height  and width remain unaffected with temperature, the tunneling current density will  remain unchanged with the temperature and consequently the contact resistance. 
If the width of the barrier width is appreciable, the thermionic emission  current may take part in the conduction between the two metals and the contact resistance will decrease in this case with temperature. If the two current conduction mechanism are exiting simultaneously, the contact resistance will increase but with slower rate.
Practically, i expect that the pressure is high enough such that tunneling prevails.
To verify the variation of the contact resistance with temperature you need to directly measure it. It is not difficult to measure it using the four point method where you pass a current through the contact and measure with a voltmeter the voltage drop on the contact resistance.

Dear prof Farid thanks for your educatove answer. You meant uncorrelated staes can not forn FQHS, and interactions are responsible for its formation? That is fine now, but does the strenght of the interaction, if it is non-zero, matter all? Especially when it is far below the cyclotron gap (weak interaction limit). My impression is that a highly correlated system implies a strongly interacting.

Answer
Michael,
As you say redundancy and interoperability make good engineering sense but somehow I feel that in terms of interoperability marketing and legal might see matters differently. Who would assume legal responsibility when things go wrong if one uses parts from different suppliers even if they all meet ISO and safety standards when manufactured and assembled. Getting manufacturers to agree on a battery level, form factor and motor voltage might, be argued or perceived as being too restrictive in terms ones "right to choose" or its impact on post sales support partners.
In terms of redundancy I do not see why it is not possible to have the equivalent of the skinny spare wheel where one might have, say a smaller inverter in parallel to do as you suggest.
As the vehicle market is brand and post sales service driven the need for a 'differentiator" will be hard to change. I feel human matters will have to change.
