What's here for me?
I have written a Macintosh application that displays atomic orbitals in real-time. Rather than just a
plot of the spherical harmonics, as is shown in many Quantum mechanics textbooks, this program
displays the electron orbital as a cloud. The cloud's density is determined by the orbital's probability
density for the electron. There are three examples on this web page: The one at the top is the n=3,
l=2, m=0 state; the screenshot above has n=7, l=4, m=0; the first example below is n=6, l=4, m=1.
(The quality is poor so that they wouldn't take too long to download over the Internet. They'll look
even worse if you are not using Millions of colors to view it. The program looks quite a bit better,
trust me.) With the program, you can rotate the orbital around in real time. If you have red-cyan 3-D
glasses, you can see it in 3-D too. The program has all the orbital eigenstates up to n=7, which is the
highest occupied shell for the ground states of the heaviest elements, e.g., Uranium, Plutonium, etc.
You can download the application from the links below and have a look. The program is
computation intensive. For individual users, the v1.x Mac application is US $20 shareware. Pricing of
the later versions are on the App Store. You can read the details in the about box or the Read Me.
Also supplied are example orbital files.
