General Concepts

• Outline of concepts to be discussed.

Quantum Mechanics of Atoms, Molecules and Crystals

• Quantized energy levels and absorption of photons in the hydrogen atom .
• Beware of either completely misguided or fraudulent companies such as Blacklight Power which claims an alternative H atom of infinite energy.
• Can atoms and molecules convert photon energy to electrical work?
• Crystals can absorb light over a wider range of photon energies but lack directionality.
