The quantum phase transition studies we have done during the last few years for odd-even systems are reviewed. The focus is on the quantum shape phase transition in Bose-Fermi systems. They are studied within the Interacting Boson-Fermion Model (IBFM). The geometry is included in this model by using the intrinsic frame formalism based on the concept of coherent states. First, the critical point symmetries E(5/4) and E(5/12) are summarized. E(5/4) describes the case of a single j=3/2 particle coupled to a bosonic core that undergoes a transition from spherical to γ-unstable. E(5/12) is an extension of E(5/4) that describes the multi-j case (j=1/2,3/2,5/2) along the same transitional path. Both, E(5/4) and E(5/12), are formulated in a geometrical context using the Bohr Hamiltonian. Similar situations can be studied within the IBFM considering the transitional path from UBF(5) to OBF(6). Such studies are also presented. No critical points have been proposed for other paths in odd-even systems as, for instance, the transition from spherical to axially deformed shapes. However, the study of such shape phase transition can be done easily within the IBFM considering the path from UBF(5) (spherical) to SUBF(3) (axial deformed). Thus, in a second part, this study is presented for the multi-j case. Energy levels and potential energy surfaces obtained within the intrinsic frame formalism of the IBFM Hamiltonian are discussed. Finally, our recent works within the IBFM for a single-j fermion coupled to a bosonic core that performs different shape phase transitional paths are reviewed. All significant paths in the model space are studied: from spherical to γ-unstable shape, from spherical to axially deformed (prolate and oblate) shapes, and from prolate to oblate shape passing through the γ-unstable shape. The aim of these applications is to understand the effect of the coupled fermion on the core when moving along a given transitional path and how the coupled fermion modifies the bosonic core around the critical points.

Potential energy surfaces for three unimolecular elimination reactions: , , and were calculated using a variety of quantum chemical methods. It was shown that, in all the three cases, the transition state in the first step of the reaction leads to the production of the complex intermediates based on van der Waals interactions. In addition to the fact that the three complexes appear as intermediates on the potential energy surfaces, which means that they are not free entities, the entropy values of the two elimination products are far above those of the complexes due to their additional Sackur-Tetrode entropy. Moreover, the three vibrational frequencies of the H2O group in the (CH3)3COH complex and the H–Cl and H–F stretch frequencies in CH3CF3 and CH3CH2CH2Cl are quite different (see the various tables). The energy levels of the complexes were found to be below those of the corresponding decomposition products. Rate constants for the elimination processes were calculated from the potential energy surfaces using transition-state theory and were compared to available experimental data.

The present publication reports variational calculations of the vibrational energy levels for H3+, D3+, 6Li3+, and 7Li3+, starting from potential energy surfaces generated by the DIM scheme. The vibrational energies obtained agree semiquantitatively with those based on the best ab initio potentials available. The results seem to indicate that an analogous approach might be useful in describing the vibrational motion of heavier alkali cluster cations A3+.

We report averaged potential energy surfaces for isotopic Ne–CO2 complexes (20 Ne –13 C 16 O 2, 22 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 and 22 Ne –13 C 16 O 2). According to the latest ab initio potential of 20 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 (Chen R, Jiao EQ, Zhu H, Xie DQ, J Chem Phys133:104302, 2010) including the Q3 normal mode for the υ3 antisymmetric stretching vibration of the CO2 molecule. We obtain the averaged potentials for 20 Ne –13 C 16 O 2, 22 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 and 22 Ne –13 C 16 O 2 by the integration of the three-dimensional potential over the Q3 coordinate. The averaged potential surfaces are found to have a T-shaped global minimum and two equivalent linear local minima. The radial DVR/angular FBR method and the Lanczos algorithm are applied to calculate the rovibrational energy levels. Comparison with the available observed values showed an overall excellent agreement for all spectroscopic parameters and the microwave spectra.

Averaged potential energy surfaces for isotopic Ne–CO2complexes (20Ne–18O13C16O,20Ne–17O12C16O and22Ne–17O12C16O) are presented. According to the latestab initiopotential of20Ne–12C16O2(R. Chen, H. Zhu, D. Q. Xie, J. Chem. Phys, 133, 2010, 104302,) which incorporates its dependence on theQ3normal mode for the antisymmetric stretching vibration of the CO2molecule, we obtain the averaged potentials for20Ne–18O13C16O,20Ne–17O12C16O and22Ne–17O12C16O complexes by integrating the potential energy surface overQ3normal mode. Each averaged potential surfaces are found to have a T-shaped global minimum and two equivalent linear local minima. The radial DVR/angular FBR method and the Lanczos algorithm are applied to calculate the rovibrational energy levels. Comparison with the available experimental values showed an overall excellent agreement for all spectroscopic parameters and the microwave spectra.

In this paper, we have analyzed the critical behavior of even–even Ru and Pd isotopes between U(5) and SO(6) limits of interacting boson model via Catastrophe Theory in combination with a coherent state formalism to generate energy surfaces. The parameters of the Hamiltonian are determined via least-square fitting to the experimental data for different Ru and Pd isotopes. Our results suggest a second-order phase transition in these isotopic chains and propose the best candidates for E(5) critical symmetry. Also, the analogy between the critical exponents of ground state quantum phase transition and Landau values for the critical exponents of thermodynamic phase transitions are described.
