Coulomb interactions between electrons

If the energies of the Sx and Sy orbitals do not differ significantly (compared to the coulombic interactions between electron pairs), it is expected that the essence of the findings described above for homonuclear species will persist even for heteronuclear systems. A decomposition of the six CSFs listed above, using the heteronuclear molecular orbitals introduced earlier yields ... 

Here Zg is the number of tt electrons provided by atom is essentially an ionization potential for an electron extracted from in the presence of the part of the framework associated with atom r alone (a somewhat hypothetical quantity), is a framework resonance integral, and is the coulomb interaction between electrons in orbitals < >, and <(>,. The essential parameters, in the semi-empirical form of the theory, are cug, and and from their definition these quantities are expected to be characteristic of atom r or bond r—s, not of the particular molecule in which they occur (for a discussion see McWeeny, 1964). In the SCF calculation, solution of (95) leads to MO s from which charges and bond orders are calculated using (97) these are used in setting up a revised Hamiltonian according to (98) and (99) and this is put back into (95) which is solved again to get new MO s, the process being continued until self-consistency is achieved. It is now clear that prediction of the variation of the self-consistent E with respect to the parameters is a matter of considerable difficulty. 

As already discussed, there is an important case where resolution is determined by fundamental limitations of the electron optical system and not by electron scattering. This occurs with the high current shaped electron beams used in high throughput direct-write tools. The Coulomb interaction between electrons in these columns displaces the electrons from their intended trajectories and blurs the edges of the spot. As discussed above in connection to throughput, this effect, which is related to the Boersch effect (45) forces a compromise between throughput and resolution.

The problem is also a challenge from both group theoretical [6,7] and experimental [8] point of view. In the following we will use a method which is based on a multipole expansion of the Coulomb interaction between electrons on a same molecule [9,10]. Thereby we systematically include electronic transitions which go beyond the usual Hartree-Fock scheme and hence our approach is equivalent to a full configuration interaction calculation. The details of our technique are given in Ref. [10]. 

Finally, it should be noted that treating one of the otherwise equivalent electrons in equ. (7.46) individually is frequently used for calculating matrix elements with a one-electron operator (e.g., the photon operator) acting on equivalent electrons. Similarly, if two-electron operators play a role, like in the Coulomb interaction between electrons, then it is convenient to separate two electrons from the equivalent electrons. This is done using the coefficients of fractional grandparentage (for more details see [Cow81]). 

The spectra that are seen depend upon the relative strengths of the crystal field and the atomic interactions within the ion such as the Coulombic interactions between electrons and between electrons and the nucleus and the spin orbit interactions between the electrons and the nucleus. 

Hartree s original idea of the self-consistent field involved only the direct Coulomb interaction between electrons. This is not inconsistent with variational theory [163], but requires an essential modification in order to correspond to the true physics of electrons. In neglecting electronic exchange, the pure Coulombic Hartree mean field inherently allowed an electron to interact with itself, one of the most unsatisfactory aspects of pre-quantum theories. Hartree simply removed the self-interaction by fiat, at the cost of making the mean field different for each electron. Orbital orthogonality, necessary to the concept of independent electrons, could only be imposed by an artificial variational constraint. The need for an ad hoc self-interaction correction (SIC) persists in recent theories based on approximate local exchange potentials.

The band description ignores correlations between electrons that result from the electron-electron repulsive interaction. Alternatively stated, the band description ignores the attractive Coulomb interaction between electrons in the TT -band and holes in the ir-band. This attraction causes the formation of excitons i.e. neutral electron-hole bound states. One of the fundamental unresolved issues of the physics of semiconducting polymers is the magnitude of the exciton binding energy (see Section V-B). 

Recently the coexistence of the 2kp CDW with SDW has been found by a diffuse X-ray scattering study of (TMTSFjjPF [65]. This has been ascribed to a purely electronic CDW involving no lattice distortion. In the conventional model of SDW the charge density should be uniform. Very recently a theory has succeeded to explain the coexistence of the purely electronic 2kp CDW with SDW in terms of the next-nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction between electrons [66]. It is interesting to find the coexistence also in other materails. 

If the Coulomb interaction between electrons of different pairs is ignored, each localized bond and lone pair contribute independently to the total energy, which implies a perfect additivity of bond energies. In the independent-particle model, the localized bond function can be visualized as a two-center molecular orbital occupied by two electrons. Nevertheless, it is possible to reproduce deviations from additivity rules within this scheme, for instance, by taking into account overlap (for a review, see e.g. 2>).
