Operator electron

In Table I, 3D stands for three dimensional. The symbol symbol in connection with the bending potentials means that the bending potentials are considered in the lowest order approximation as already realized by Renner [7], the splitting of the adiabatic potentials has a p dependence at small distortions of linearity. With exact fomi of the spin-orbit part of the Hamiltonian we mean the microscopic (i.e., nonphenomenological) many-elecbon counterpart of, for example, The Breit-Pauli two-electron operator [22] (see also [23]). 

It follows that the only possible values for la + Ip are S A and the computation of vibronic levels can be carried out for each K block separately. Matrix elements of the electronic operator diagonal with respect to the electronic basis [first of Eqs. (60)], and the matrix elements of T are diagonal with respect to the quantum number I = la + Ip. The off-diagonal elements of [second and third of Eqs. (60)] connect the basis functions with I — la + Ip and I — l + l — l 2A. 

After integrating over all electronic coordinates except for 0, the electronic operator transforms into the potential for bending vibrations has the fonn... 

Now, consider the subgroup C3 of D3 , (since no out-of-plane bending is possible for a triatomic system, and hence the subgroup C3 may be used for the discussion). Then, Eq. (E. 15) contains only four symmetry types of electronic operators Iia, Iia, h, and hy. The direct product decompositions for C3 may then be shown (see Table 57 of [28]) to assume the fomi... 

The dipole moment operator is a sum of one-electron operators r , and as such the electronic conlribution to the dipole moment can be written as a sum of one-electron contributions. The eleclronic contribution can also be written in terms of the density matrix, P, as follows ... 

When the states P1 and P2 are described as linear combinations of CSFs as introduced earlier ( Fi = Zk CiKK), these matrix elements can be expressed in terms of CSF-based matrix elements < K I eri IOl >. The fact that the electric dipole operator is a one-electron operator, in combination with the SC rules, guarantees that only states for which the dominant determinants differ by at most a single spin-orbital (i.e., those which are "singly excited") can be connected via electric dipole transitions through first order (i.e., in a one-photon transition to which the < Fi Ii eri F2 > matrix elements pertain). It is for this reason that light with energy adequate to ionize or excite deep core electrons in atoms or molecules usually causes such ionization or excitation rather than double ionization or excitation of valence-level electrons the latter are two-electron events.

Such operators which collect together all the variable terms involving a particular electron are called one-electron operators. The l/ri2 term is a typical two-electron operator, which we often write...

The first step is to work out e in terms of the one- and two-electron operators and the orbitals. .., For a polyatomic, polyelectron molecule, the electronic Hamiltonian is a sum of terms representing... 

I have grouped the terms on the right-hand side together for a reason. We normally simplify the notation along the lines discussed for dihydrogen in Chapter 4, and write the electronic Hamiltonian as a sum of the one-electron and two-electron operators already discussed. 

It is sometimes useful to recast the equation as the expectation value of a sum of one-electron and pseudo one-electron operators... 

The operator hi is a one-electron operator, representing the kinetic energy of an electron and the nuclear attraction. The operators J and K are called the Coulomb and exchange operators. They can be defined through their expectation values as follows. 

Boys and Cook refer to these properties as primary properties because their electronic contributions can be obtained directly from the electronic wavefunction As a matter of interest, they also classified the electronic energy as a primary property. It can t be calculated as the expectation value of a sum of true one-electron operators, but the Hartree-Fock operator is sometimes written as a sum of pseudo one-electron operators, which include the average effects of the other electrons. 

The one electron operator h, describes the motion of electron i in the field of all the nuclei, and gy is a two electron operator giving the electron-electron repulsion. We note that the zero point of the energy corresponds to the particles being at rest (Tc = 0) and infinitely removed from each other (Vne = Vee = V n = 0). 

For the one-electron operator only the identity operator can give a non-zero contribution. For coordinate 1 this yields... 

For the two electron operator, only the identity and P,y operators can give a non-zero contribution. A three electron permutation will again give at least one overlap integral between two different MOs, which will be zero. The term arising from the identity... 

The S matrix contains the overlap elements between basis functions, and the F matrix contains the Fock matrix elements. Each element contains two parts from the Fock operator (eq. (3.36)), integrals involving the one-electron operators, and a sum over... 

To construct the Fock matrix, eq. (3.51), integrals over all pairs of basis functions and the one-electron operator h are needed. For M basis functions there are of the order of of such one-electron integrals. These one-integrals are also known as core integrals, they describe the interaction of an electron with the whole frame of bare nuclei. The second part of the Fock matrix involves integrals over four basis functions and the g two-electron operator. There are of the order of of these two-electron integrals. In conventional HF methods the two-electron integrals are calculated and saved before the... 

Let us look at the expression for the second-order energy correction, eq. (4.38). This involves matrix elements of the perturbation operator between the HF reference and all possible excited states. Since the perturbation is a two-electron operator, all matrix elements involving triple, quadruple etc. excitations are zero. When canonical HF... 

Expanding out the exponential in eq. (4.46) and using the fact that the Hamilton operator contains only one- and two-electron operators (eq. (3.24)) we get... 

Requiring the variation of L to vanish provides a set of equations involving an effective one-electron operator (hKs), similar to the Fock operator in wave mechanics... 

A fully relativistic treatment of more than one particle has not yet been developed. For many particle systems it is assumed that each electron can be described by a Dirac operator (ca ir + p mc ) and the many-electron operator is a sum of such terms, in analogy with the kinetic energy in non-relativistic theory. Furthermore, potential energy operators are added to form a total operator equivalent to the Hamilton operator in non-relativistic theory. Since this approach gives results which agree with experiments, the assumptions appear justified. 

One of the goals of Localized Molecular Orbitals (LMO) is to derive MOs which are approximately constant between structurally similar units in different molecules. A set of LMOs may be defined by optimizing the expectation value of an two-electron operator The expectation value depends on the n, parameters in eq. (9.19), i.e. this is again a function optimization problem (Chapter 14). In practice, however, the localization is normally done by performing a series of 2 x 2 orbital rotations, as described in Chapter 13. 

The central term is again the Hellmann-Feynman force, which vanishes since the two-electron operator g is independent of the nuclear positions. 

The derivative of the core operator h is a one-electron operator similar to the nucleus-electron attraction required for the energy itself (eq. (3.55)). The two-electron part yields zero, and the V n term is independent of the electronic wave function. The remaining terms in eqs. (10.89), (10.90) and (10.95) all involve derivatives of the basis functions. When these are Gaussian functions (as is usually the case) the derivative can be written in terms of two other Gaussian functions, having one lower and one higher angular momentum.
