The value is in hartrees. The number of cycles it took the SCF calculation to converge is also given on this line (refer to Appendix A for a discussion of the iterative nature of the SCF method). When we discuss energies in this work, we will generally use hartrees (atomic units) when we discuss energy differences, kcal-moT will often be a more convenient unit (especially when comparing calculation predictions to experimental results). 

Unless otherwise stated, the atomic system of units is used in this Report bohr =ao=atomic unit of lengths 0.529 x 10-10 m hartree=atomic unit of energy, e2/4 eoatomic unit ofelectric dipole =eao — 8.478 x 10 30Cm atomic unit of electric quadrupole=ea02 4.487 x 10 40 C m2 etc. 

The total energies and wavefunctions of the Hamiltonian (1) have been calculated as the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a Cl matrix. Full Cl has been used for all calculations of quasi-one-dimensional quantum dots and for quasi-two-dimensional quantum dots with N = 2, while multi-reference Cl has been used for quasi-two-dimensional quantum dots with N = 3 and 4. The results are presented in atomic units. They can be scaled by the effective Bohr radius of 9.79 nm and the effective Hartree energy of 11.9 meV for GaAs semiconductor quantum dots [25,26]. 

Furthermore, experimental thermochemical data, however few, dominate this chapter. This is not to say calculational theory has been mute. For example, we recall the symbiotic study5 of gas phase ion experiment and ab initio calculational theory that interrelated imines and enamines. Yet, use of this study is seriously restricted because the enthalpy of formation of imines remains problematic6. The use of calculational theory naturally brings up the question of energy units for the current study. While energies are generally reported in the organic chemical literature in kJ mol-1 and kcal mol-1, other units such as eV and Hartrees are more dominant in the theoretical and physical chemical literature. In this chapter, we will follow the orthodox practice of thermochemists all enthalpies will be in kJ mol-1 with conversion factors of 1 kcal mol-1 =4.184 kJ mol"1 1 k J mol 1 = 0.2390 kcal mol 1.

The matrix elements of interest here are of the forms ( (a, n) (/ , m)), (i/f(oe, n) V Vf(/ , m)), and n) T Vf(/ , m)), where V and T are, respectively, the Coulomb and kinetic-energy operators. For a four-body system, with respective charges qi,. ..,q4 and masses mi,m, with all quantities expressed in Hartree atomic units, these matrix elements can be written entirely in terms of the interparticle coordinates [12], with the potential-energy matrix elements given as...
