Hartree-Fock equations general

Kohn-Sham Equations. The set of equations obtained by applying the Local Density Approximation to a general multi-electron system. An Exchange/Correlation Functional which depends on the electron density has replaced the Exchange Energy expression used in the Hartree-Fock Equations. The Kohn-Sham equations become the Roothaan-Hall Equations if this functional is set equal to the Hartree-Fock Exchange Energy expression. 

Hohenberg and Kohn have proved generally that the total ground state energy E of a collection of electrons in the presence of an externally applied potential (e.g. the valence electrons in the presence of the periodic potential due to the cores in a lattice), when no net magnetic moment is present, depends only on the average density of electrons n(R). By this proof, n(R) becomes the fundamental variable of the system (as it is in the Thomas-Fermi theory ). Variational minimization of the most general form of E, with respect to n lends to the Hartree-Fock equations formalism. 

These are the glorious Hartree-Fock equations derived in general in the spin orbital basis. But wait - there s a problem. These are coupled integro-differential equations, and while they are not strictly unsolvable, they re a pain. It would be nice to at least uncouple them, so let s do that. 

The generalization of the pseudopotential method to molecules was done by Boni-facic and Huzinaga[3] and by Goddard, Melius and Kahn[4] some ten years after Phillips and Kleinman s original proposal. In the molecular pseudopotential or Effective Core Potential (ECP) method all core-valence interactions are approximated with l dependent projection operators, and a totally symmetric screening type potential. The new operators, which are parametrized such that the ECP operator should reproduce atomic all electron results, are added to the Hamiltonian and the one electron ECP equations axe obtained variationally in the same way as the usual Hartree Fock equations. Since the total energy is calculated with respect to this approximative Hamiltonian the separability problem becomes obsolete. 

The pecularities of solving the various versions of the Hartree-Fock equations are described in more detail in monographs [16, 45], There are a number of widely used universal computer programs to solve the non-relativistic [16, 45] and relativistic [57, 182] versions of the Hartree-Fock equations, used separately or as a part of the more general complex, e.g. calculating energy spectra, etc. [183]. 

In spite of these gross approximations, the method proved to be extremely useful and was extensively used to correlate the chemical properties of conjugated systems. Several attempts were subsequently made to introduce the repulsions between the n electrons in the calculations. These include the work of Goeppert-Mayer and Sklar 4> on benzene and that of Wheland and Mann 5> and of Streitwieser 6> with the a> technique. But the first general methods of wide application were developed only in 1953 by Pariser and Parr 7> (interaction of configuration) and by Pople 8> (SCF) following the publication by Roothaan of his self-consistent field formalism for solving the Hartree-Fock equation for... 

The relativistic or non-relativistic random-phase approximation (RRPA or RPA)t is a generalized self-consistent field procedure which may be derived making the Dirac/Hartree-Fock equations time-dependent. Therefore, the approach is often called time-dependent Dirac/Hartree-Fock. The name random phase comes from the original application of this method to very large systems where it was argued that terms due to interactions between many alternative pairs of excited particles, so-called two-particle-two-hole interactions ((2p-2h) see below) tend to...

A symmetry-adapted perturbation theory approach for the calculation of the Hartree-Fock interaction energies has been proposed by Jeziorska et al.105 for the helium dimer, and generalized to the many-electron case in Ref. (106). The authors of Refs. (105-106) developed a basis-set independent perturbation scheme to solve the Hartree-Fock equations for the dimer, and analyzed the Hartree-Fock interaction energy in terms of contributions related to many-electron SAPT reviewed in Section 7. Specifically, they proposed to replace the Hartree-Fock equations for the...

Simplified, since one knows that every solution to the general Hartree-Fock equations corresponding to an energy minimum of must belong to one of Fi utome s eight classes. The most restricted on is. of course, the RHF-solution, whereas the most general one is the one called Torsional Spin Waves" fTSW). 

The Hartree-Fock equation can be written as a generalized eigenvalue problem ... 

Iron), and Eq. (3.12) is a one-electron differential equation. This has been indicated by writing F and T>, as functions of the coordinates of electron 1 of course, the coordinates of any electron could have been used. The operator F is peculiar in that it depends on its own eigenfunctions, which are not known initially. Hence the Hartree-Fock equations must be solved by an iterative process. One obtains approximate solutions for the ( ), and from these constructs the first approximation to F. Equation (3.13) is then solved to obtain a new set of 4>, (which are generally occupied according to their order of e,) and a new F is constructed. Such a process is called a self-consistent-field approach, and the process is terminated when the orbitals output from one step are virtually identical to those that are input from the preceding step (in practice, the energy E is usually monitored). 

It is customary to speak about unrestricted Hartree-Fock equations (UHF) when one or more of the restrictions associated with RHF are released. In order to avoid misunderstandings we prefer to use the term GHF for the most general case, which contains both RHF and the various types of UHF as special cases. 

In general the Hartree-Fock equations for any molecular system form a set of 3-dimensional partial differential equations for orbitals, Coulomb and exchange potentials. In the case of diatomic molecules the prolate spheroidal coordinate system can be used to describe the positions of electrons and one of the coordinates (the azimuthal angle) can be treated analytically. As a result one is left with a problem of solving second order partial differential equations in the other two variables, (rj and ).
