Abstract

A first-principle approach allows the study of relaxed structural models for surfaces and interfaces. This is a powerful tool for the study of the local bonding. The utility of the first-principle theory is substantially extended through the calculation of core-level shifts. Such results can be used in conjunction with measured photoemission spectra to make progress in understanding the local atomic structure at interfaces. We review the quantitative comparison of the calculated core level shifts with experiment for a series of molecules. We then describe results for the Si(001)-SiO2 interface.

Equivalence principle

In the theory of general relativity, the equivalence principle is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and Albert Einstein's observation that the gravitational "force" as experienced locally while standing on a massive body (such as the Earth) is the same as the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference. History of gravitational theory Something like the equivalence principle emerged in the early 17th century, when Galileo expressed experimentally that the acceleration of a test mass due to gravitation is independent of the amount of mass being accelerated.

Mach's principle

In theoretical physics, particularly in discussions of , Mach's principle (or Mach's conjecture) is the name given by Albert Einstein to an imprecise hypothesis often credited to the physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach. The hypothesis attempted to explain how rotating objects, such as gyroscopes and spinning celestial bodies, maintain a frame of reference. The proposition is that the existence of absolute rotation (the distinction of local inertial frames vs.

Principle of relativity

In physics, the principle of relativity is the requirement that the equations describing the laws of physics have the same form in all admissible frames of reference. For example, in the framework of special relativity the Maxwell equations have the same form in all inertial frames of reference. In the framework of general relativity the Maxwell equations or the Einstein field equations have the same form in arbitrary frames of reference.
