Hartree-Fock terms

Eq. (5.1) is the same as for G3 theory except for the addition of the Hartree-Fock term. This term extends the HF/G3Large energy, which... 

The energy of the electron gas is composed of two terms, one Hartree-Fock term (T)hp) and one correlation term (zero-point kinetic energy density and the exchange contribution (first and second terms on the right in equation 1.148, respectively) ... 

F irst, consider the d-state energy, c,. The only serious discrepancy between Mattheiss s calculation and the experimental optical spectra was that Mattheiss s calculation appeared to overestimate the band gap by about three electron volts. Since this gap is dominated by the energy i — r,p, the discrepancy suggested an overestimate of this difference. In fact, his calculated bands were positioned roughly in accord with the splitting predicted by term values of Herman and Skillman (1963). Finally, the same overestimate applies to the Herman-Skillman term values in comparison to Hartree-Fock term values. This suggested, then, that values for e, should be taken from Hartree-Fock calculations, and those are what appear in the Solid State Table and therefore also in Table 19-3. C. Calandra has suggested independently (unpublished) from consideration of transition metals... 

Most recently developed functionals use either the GGA for or a generalization thereof. Of particular importance are hybrid functionals, which express the total exchange-correlation as a sum of an exact exchange (Hartree-Fock) term and a GGA term [29,30]. 

Hartree-Fock term values after Mann (1967), in eV. In the upper part,e, values are given first for each element and p values are given next for the transition metals,... 

Consideration of Hartree-Fock term values from Fischer (1972), as discussed in Appendix A, indicates that Hartree-Fock values for valence s- and p-state energies are quite similar to the Herman-Skillman values given in the Solid State Table. Thus a more systematic treatment would result from use of the Hartree-Fock values throughout they are more appropriate for the transition metals and it would make little difference which set of values is used for other systems. The reasons for retaining Herman-Skillman values here are largely historical it is also possible that use of Hartree-Fock values would increase discrepancies with existing band calculations since, as indicated in Appendix A, the approximations almost universally used in solids are the same as those used in the Herman-Skillman calculation. For s and p states the differences are small in any case.

As was shown in Chapter 1, the Madelung potential renormalizes the atomic energies and shifts the anion and cation levels towards lower and higher energies, respectively (Equations (1.4.1) and (1.4.2)). In the surface layer, the effective levels of the cations are thus lower than in the bulk, and the reverse is true for the surface anions. The actual levels also depend upon the intra-atomic Hartree or Hartree-Fock terms, which shift the atomic levels in the opposite direction (Ellialtioglu et al., 1978), but. 

In this minimal END approximation, the electronic basis functions are centered on the average nuclear positions, which are dynamical variables. In the limit of classical nuclei, these are conventional basis functions used in moleculai electronic structure theoiy, and they follow the dynamically changing nuclear positions. As can be seen from the equations of motion discussed above the evolution of the nuclear positions and momenta is governed by Newton-like equations with Hellman-Feynman forces, while the electronic dynamical variables are complex molecular orbital coefficients that follow equations that look like those of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approximation [24]. The coupling terms in the dynamical metric are the well-known nonadiabatic terms due to the fact that the basis moves with the dynamically changing nuclear positions. 

As formulated above in terms of spin-orbitals, the Hartree-Fock (HF) equations yield orbitals that do not guarantee that P possesses proper spin symmetry. To illustrate the point, consider the form of the equations for an open-shell system such as the Lithium atom Li. If Isa, IsP, and 2sa spin-orbitals are chosen to appear in the trial function P, then the Fock operator will contain the following terms ... 

There are several ways to include relativity in ah initio calculations more efficiently at the expense of a bit of accuracy. One popular technique is the Dirac-Hartree-Fock technique, which includes the one-electron relativistic terms. Another option is computing energy corrections to the nonrelativistic wave function without changing that wave function. 

Hartree-Fock MO approach, the minimization of energy should provide the most accurate description of the electronic field. The mathematical problem is to define each of the terms, with being the most challenging. The formulation carmot be done exactly, but various approaches have been developed and calibrated by comparison with experimental data. The methods used most frequently by chemists were developed by A. D. Becke. " This approach is often called the B3LYP method. The computations can be done with... 

The term ( iv X.o) in Equation 32 signifies the two-electron repulsion integrals. Under the Hartree-Fock treatment, each electron sees all of the other electrons as an average distribution there is no instantaneous electron-electron interaction included. Higher level methods attempt to remedy this neglect of electron correlation in various ways, as we shall see. 

When Hartree-Fock theory fulfills the requirement that 4 be invarient with respect to the exchange of any two electrons by antisymmetrizing the wavefunction, it automatically includes the major correlation effects arising from pairs of electrons with the same spin. This correlation is termed exchange correlation. The motion of electrons of opposite spin remains uncorrelated under Hartree-Fock theory, however. 

Hartree-Fock theory also includes an exchange term as part of its formulation. Recently, Becke has formulated functionals which include a mixture of Hartree-Fodc and DFT exchange along with DFT correlation, conceptually defining... 

In general, DFT calculations proceed in the same way as Hartree-Fock calculations, with the addition of the evaluation of the extra term, This term cannot be evaluated analytically for DFT methods, so it is computed via numerical integration. 

The extrapolation to the complete basis set energy limit is based upon the MoUer-Plesset expansion E= + E + E + E + E +. .. as described earlier in this appendix. Recall that E + E is the Hartree-Fock energy. We will denote E and all higher terms as E , resulting in this expression for E ... 

Note that the factor of 1/2 has disappeared from the energy expression this is because the G matrix itself depends on P, which has to be taken into account. We write SSg in terms of the Hartree—Fock Hamiltonian matrix h, where... 

Once again, I can explain the features of the model in terms of Hartree-Fock theory. The next step is therefore to investigate the one-electron integrals... 

The first two kinds of terms are called derivative integrals, they are the derivatives of integrals that are well known in molecular structure theory, and they are easy to evaluate. Terms of the third kind pose a problem, and we have to solve a set of equations called the coupled Hartree-Fock equations in order to find them. The coupled Hartree-Fock method is far from new one of the earliest papers is that of Gerratt and Mills. 

The fii st term is zero because I and its derivatives are orthogonal. The fourth term involves second moments and we use the coupled Hartree-Fock procedure to find the terms requiring the first derivative of the wavefunction. 

So far there have not been any restrictions on the MOs used to build the determinantal trial wave function. The Slater determinant has been written in terms of spinorbitals, eq. (3.20), being products of a spatial orbital times a spin function (a or /3). If there are no restrictions on the form of the spatial orbitals, the trial function is an Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) wave function. The term Different Orbitals for Different Spins (DODS) is also sometimes used. If the interest is in systems with an even number of electrons and a singlet type of wave function (a closed shell system), the restriction that each spatial orbital should have two electrons, one with a and one with /3 spin, is normally made. Such wave functions are known as Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF). Open-shell systems may also be described by restricted type wave functions, where the spatial part of the doubly occupied orbitals is forced to be the same this is known as Restricted Open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF). For open-shell species a UHF treatment leads to well-defined orbital energies, which may be interpreted as ionization potentials. Section 3.4. For an ROHF wave function it is not possible to chose a unitary transformation which makes the matrix of Lagrange multipliers in eq. (3.40) diagonal, and orbital energies from an ROHF wave function are consequently not uniquely defined, and cannot be equated to ionization potentials by a Koopman type argument.
