Interelectron interaction

Cl calculations can be used to improve the quality of the wave-function and state energies. Self-consistent field (SCF) level calculations are based on the one-electron model, wherein each electron moves in the average field created by the other n-1 electrons in the molecule. Actually, electrons interact instantaneously and therefore have a natural tendency to avoid each other beyond the requirements of the Exclusion Principle. This correlation results in a lower average interelectronic repulsion and thus a lower state energy. The difference between electronic energies calculated at the SCF level versus the exact nonrelativistic energies is the correlation energy.

Curve 1 shows the electronic energy of the hydrogen molecule neglecting interelectronic interaction (from Burrau s solution for the molecule-ion) curve 2, the electronic energy empirically corrected by Condon s method and curve 3, the total energy of the hydrogen molecule, calculated by Condon s method. 

Excited states of the hydrogen molecule may be formed from a normal hydrogen atom and a hydrogen atom in various excited states.2 For these the interelectronic interaction will be small, and the Burrau eigenfunction will represent the molecule in part with considerable accuracy. The properties of the molecule, in particular the equilibrium distance, should then approximate those of the molecule-ion for the molecule will be essentially a molecule-ion with an added electron in an outer orbit. This is observed in general the equilibrium distances for all known excited states but one (the second state in table 1) deviate by less than 10 per cent from that for the molecule-ion. It is hence probable that states 3,4, 5, and 6 are formed from a normal and an excited atom with n = 2, and that higher states are similarly formed. 

The equations to be fulfilled by momentum space orbitals contain convolution integrals which give rise to momentum orbitals ( )(p-q) shifted in momentum space. The so-called form factor F and the interaction terms Wij defined in terms of current momentum coordinates are the momentum space counterparts of the core potentials and Coulomb and/or exchange operators in position space. The nuclear field potential transfers a momentum to electron i, while the interelectronic interaction produces a momentum transfer between each pair of electrons in turn. Nevertheless, the total momentum of the whole molecule remains invariant thanks to the contribution of the nuclear momenta [7]. 

Systems with more than one unpaired electron are not only subject to the electronic Zeeman interaction but also to the magnetic-field independent interelectronic zero-field interaction, and the spin Hamiltonian then becomes... 

Accounting for electron correlation in a second step, via the mixing of a limited number of Slater determinants in the total wave function. Electron correlation is very important for correct treatment of interelectronic interactions and for a quantitative description of covalence effects and of the structure of multielec-tronic states. Accounting completely for the total electronic correlation is computationally extremely difficult, and is only possible for very small molecules, within a limited basis set. Formally, electron correlation can be divided into static, when all Slater determinants corresponding to all possible electron populations of frontier orbitals are considered, and dynamic correlation, which takes into account the effects of dynamical screening of interelectron interaction. 

Interelectronic interactions that alter how any particular electron in a multi-electronic atom interacts with the nucleus and vice versa. These effects lead to so-called chemical shifts in NMR experiments, thereby providing valuable structural information concerning a molecule s bonding and conformation. 

The interelectronic interactions W are defined using constrained search [21, 22] over all A-representable 2-RDMs that reduce to R g). Since the set of 2-RDMs in the definition of W contains the AGP 2-RDM of g, that set is not empty and W is well defined. Through this construction, E still follows the variational principle and coincides with the energy of a wavefunction ip, which reproduces R g) = D[ T ] and = W[g]. The latter is due to... 

Interelectron interactions depend on the size, namely the greater the ion size, the more distant the electrons from each other, the less repulsion between them. Hence B and C decrease with a decreasing of oxidation state, from the first transition series to the second and third series and from the first to the last ions within each of the series. For an ion in a crystal the overlapping of transition metal and ligand orbitals leads to a decrease of B and C, namely... 

This data clearly shows that corrections to the SCF model (see the above table) represent significant fractions of the inter-electron interaction energies (e.g., 1.234 eV compared to 5.95- 1.234 = 4.72 eV for the two 2s electrons of Be), and that the interelectron interaction energies, in turn, constitute significant fractions of the total energy of each orbital (e.g., 5.95 -1.234 eV = 4.72 eV out of-15.4 eV for a 2s orbital of Be). 

Thus, it can be taken into account directly when the HFDB (not HFD) calculation [8] is performed to generate outer core and valence bispinors but in the inversion procedure of the HF equations for generating the components of GRECP, the conventional interelectronic Coulomb interaction should be used instead of the Coulomb-Breit one. Then, in the GRECP calculations one should consider only the Coulomb interaction between the explicitly treated electrons. 

Here p(r /) is the distribution of the electron density in the state i >, V jr is the exchange interelectron interaction. The main exchange effect will be taken into account if, in the equation for the 1.S orbital, we assume... 

The rest of the exchange and correlation effects will be taken into account to the first two orders of PT by the total interelectron interaction [13-19], The electron density is determined by an iteration algorithm [11, 14], In the first iteration we...
