Double occupancy

Another aspect of wave function instability concerns symmetry breaking, i.e. the wave function has a lower symmetry than the nuclear framework. It occurs for example for the allyl radical with an ROHF type wave function. The nuclear geometry has C21, symmetry, but the Cay symmetric wave function corresponds to a (first-order) saddle point. The lowest energy ROHF solution has only Cj symmetry, and corresponds to a localized double bond and a localized electron (radical). Relaxing the double occupancy constraint, and allowing the wave function to become UHF, re-establish the correct Cay symmetry. Such symmetry breaking phenomena usually indicate that the type of wave function used is not flexible enough for even a qualitatively correct description. 

Now we can see the development of the entire periodic table. The special stabilities of the inert gases are fixed by the large energy gaps in the energy level diagram, Figure 15-11. The number of orbitals in a cluster, multiplied by two because of our double occupancy assumption, fixes the number of electrons needed to reach the inert gas electron population. The numbers at the... 

In the HF scheme, the first origin of the correlation between electrons of antiparallel spins comes from the restriction that they are forced to occupy the same orbital (RHF scheme) and thus some of the same location in space. A simple way of taking into account the basic effects of the electronic correlation is to release the constraint of double occupation (UHF scheme = Unrestricted HF) and so use Different Orbitals for Different Spins (DODS scheme which is the European way of calling UHF). In this methodology, electrons with antiparallel spins are not found to doubly occupy the same orbital so that, in principle, they are not forced to coexist in the same spatial region as is the case in usual RHF wave functions. 

The potential energy function prohibits double occupancy of any site on the 2nnd lattice. In the initial formulation, which was designed for the simulation of infinitely dilute chains in a structureless medium that behaves as a solvent, the remaining part of the potential energy function contains a finite repulsion for sites that are one lattice unit apart, and a finite attraction for sites that are two lattice units apart [153]. The finite interaction energies for these two types of sites were obtained by generalizing the lattice formulation of the second virial coefficient, B2, described by Post and Zimm as [159] ...

Rather loosely, this may be thought of as taking U ao, so that double occupancy of 0) is totally forbidden. Because the wavefunction (11) has different a and /9-spin spatial orbitals, it is not a pure spin state (it will be a mixture of singlet, triplet, quintet, etc.). However, for the problem in hand, this does not seem to be much of a disadvantage. 

We have studied the FCl results for the ground, Xg, state of the linear, D i,BeH2 molecule with a minimal basis set. The orbitals 1, 2, and 3 are of the a type 4 and 5 area and 6 and 7 are degenerate The HF corresponds to a double occupancy of orbitals 1, 2 and 4. A bar over the orbital label indicates that its spin is p. It is important to note that 2 and 4 may be considered the homo of the Og and a symmetry-shells respectively. Similarly, 3 and 5 are the respective lumo for the same symmetry-shells. In the following analysis we will denote genetically the homos by hi and the lumos by U. 

At the RHF level of theory, which uses a wavefunction that is relatively straightforward to interpret, the subtle differences between the half- and full-arrow reaction schemes would remain well-hidden within the doubly-occupied, usually delocalized orbitals. While it can be argued that the application of an orbital localization procedure could produce a semblance of the SC description for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of fulminic acid to ethyne, the double-occupancy restriction makes it impossible to obtain the analogue of a half-arrow SC mechanism using an RHF wavefunction. 

The perceptive reader may already have observed that the functions we use can take many forms. Consider the non-Hermitian idempotent f/g)VJf. Using the permutations interconverting standard tableaux, one finds that (f/g) PMitj S i = 1,...,/ is a set of linearly independent functions (if S has no double occupancy). Defining a linear variation function in terms of these. 

From Table 11.3 we see that the ground state of 0 is P, and there are only two unpaired orbitals in the ground configuration. Since the L shell is more than half full, valence excitations will not reduce the number of double occupations. We can make the following conjectures.

To solve the full problem of finding an approximate ground state to Hamiltonian (13), one is faced to a self-consistent loop which can be proceeded in two steps. First one can get the occupations nia)o from a HWF, and a set of bare levels. Then one obtains a set of configuration parameters, the probabilities of double occupation, di by minimizing (18) with respect to these probabilities. Afterwards the on-site levels are renormalized according to (21) and the next loop starts again for the new effective Hamiltonian He// till convergence is achieved.
