ground state [′grau̇nd ‚stāt] (quantum mechanics) The stationary state of lowest energy of a particle or a system of particles. Ground state In quantum mechanics, the stationary state of lowest energy of a particle or a system of particles. The ground state may be bound or unbound; when bound, its energy generally is a finite amount less than the energy of the next higher or first excited state. In the typical circumstance that the potential energy is zero at infinite separation, the magnitude of the negative ground-state energy is the binding energy, that is, the energy required to separate all the particles infinitely.

| The intensity distribution in the part of the spectrum of interest is obtained by evaluating the squares of dipole matrix elements referring to transitions from the ground state to states whose energy lies between the [. For the transition metals, complex cations formed as the transition metal ions become chemically bonded to the dye as a part of the paper manufacturing process, and slightly yellow fluorescent spots showed as a result of the ground state configuration of the transition metals. This so-called ground state is the orbital equivalent of the inner lane on the racetrack. |
