Unrestricted hartree-fock calculation of the ionization potential of small Hg_n clusters
(1993)
The ionization potential of small Hg_n clusters has been calculated. For the first time good agreement with experimental results has been obtained. It is shown that interatomic Coulomb interactions are important. The energy of Hg_n^+ is calculated using the unrestricted inhomogeneous Hartree-Fock approximation. As a consequence of a change in the charge distribution in Hg_n^+ , we obtain an abrupt change in the slope of the ionization potential at the critical cluster size n_cr ~ 14. The presented results are expected ...

Calculation of the electronic properties of neutral and ionized divalent-metal clusters
(1993)
The electronic properties of neutral and ionized divalent-metal clusters have been studied using a microscopic theory, which takes into account the interplay between van der Waals (vdW) and covalent bonding in the neutral clusters, and the competition between hole delocalization and polarization energy in the ionized clusters. By calculating the ground-state energies of neutral and ionized. Hg_n clusters, we determine the size dependence of the bond character and the ionization potential I_p(n). For neutral Hg_n ...

On the transition from localized to delocalized electronic states in divalent-metal clusters
(1991)
The transition from van der Waals to covalent bonding, which is expected to occur in divalent-metal clusters with increasing cluster size, is discussed. We propose a model which takes into account, within the same electronic theory, the three main competing contributions, namely the kinetic energy of the electrons, the Coulomb interactions between electrons, and the s \gdw p intraatomic transitions responsible for van der Waals like bonding. The model is solved by taking into account electron correlations using a ...

Entwicklung und Erprobung eines Tests zur "mathematischen Leistungsfähigkeit" deutscher und englischer Lernender in der Sekundarstufe I
(1994)
Im Rahmen von empirischen Untersuchungen zum Lehren und Lernen von Mathematik haben wir
einen Test entwickelt ("Potentialtest"), der die "mathematische Leistungsfähigkeit" von
13/14jährigen Jugendlichen in England und Deutschland für Vergleichszwecke messen soll. Im vorliegenden Beitrag beschreiben wir die Entstehung des Tests sowie Resultate der Durchführung des Tests bei 1036 englischen und deutschen Lernenden. Die Resultate werden unter Berücksichtigung von - aus unseren früheren Fallstudien bekannten - ...

Applications and modelling in mathematics teaching
(1991)
The aim of this paper is a comprehensive presentation of some important basic and general aspects of the topic applications and modelling, with emphasis on the secondary school level. Owing to the review character of this paper, some overlap with the survey paper Blum and Niss (1989) for ICME-6 in Budapest is inevitable. The paper will consist of three parts. In part 1, I shall try to clarify some basic concepts and remind the reader of a few application and modelling examples suitable for teaching. In part 2, I shall ...

Applied mathematical problem solving, modelling, applications, and links to other subjects
(1991)
The paper will consist of three parts. In part I we shall present some background considerations which are necessary as a basis for what follows. We shall try to clarify some basic concepts and notions, and we shall collect the most important arguments (and related goals) in favour of problem solving, modelling and applications to other subjects in mathematics instruction. In the main part II we shall review the present state, recent trends, and prospective lines of development, both in empirical or theoretical ...

Preformal proving: examples and reflections
(1991)
The starting point of our reflections is a classroom situation in grade 12 in which it was to be proved intuitively that non-trivial solutions of the differential equation f' = f have no zeros. We give a working definition of the concept of preformal proving, as well as three examples of preformal proofs. Then we furnish several such proofs of the aforesaid fact, and we analyse these proofs in detail. Finally, we draw some conclusions for mathematics in school and in teacher training.

Mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction
(1993)
This paper aims at giving a concise survey of the present state-of-the-art of mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction. It will consist of four parts. In part 1, some basic concepts relevant to the topic will be clarified and, in particular, mathematical modelling will be defined in a broad, comprehensive sense. Part 2 will review arguments for the inclusion of modelling in mathematics teaching at schools and universities, and identify certain schools of thought within mathematics education. ...
