Gaussian type orbital INDEX

Boys (1950) proposed an alternative to the use of STOs. All that is required for there to be an analytical solution of the general four-index integral formed from such functions is that the radial decay of the STOs be changed from e to e. That is, the AO-like functions are chosen to have the form of a Gaussian function. The general functional form of a normalized Gaussian-type orbital (GTO) in atom-centered Cartesian coordinates is... 

The local MP2 electron-correlation method for nonconducting crystals [109] is an extension to crystalline solids of the local correlation MP2 method for molecules (see Sect. 5.1.5), starting from a local representation of the occupied and virtual HF subspaces. The localized HF crystalline orbitals of the occupied states are provided in the LCAO approximation by the CRYSTAL program [23] and based on a Boys localization criterion. The localization technique was considered in Sect. 3.3.3. The label im of the occupied localized Wannier functions (LWF) Wim = Wj(r — Rm) includes the type of LWF and translation vector Rm, indicating the primitive unit cell, in which the LWF is centered (m = 0 for the reference cell). The index i runs from 1 to A i, the number of filled electron bands used for the localization procedure the correlation calculation is restricted usually to valence bands LWFs. The latter are expressed as a linear combination of the Gaussian-type atomic orbitals (AOs) Xfiif Rn) = Xfin numbered by index = 1,..., M M is the number of AOs in the reference cell) and the cell n translation vector...
