Model wave function

A simple product 5 = XiC i) X2( 2) XiC i) 3Cj( j)-"Xn( n) 15 not acceptable as a model wave function for fermions because it assigns a particular one-electron function to a particular electron (for example X to X]) and hence violates the fact that electrons are indistinguishable. In addition,... 

It is not unreasonable to make a general statement - the application of symmetry constraints to a model wave function is more and more restrictive the simpler the model. In particular, application of symmetry restrictions at level (C) is courting disaster when very simple models are used. 

In the first section of this work, in order to obtain maximum simplicity of interpretation, we chose to impose the strong orthogonality constraint on our model wave functions any two separate-group functions will be constrained by Eq. (11) ... 

Because the ground state helium model wave function is nodeless, the total positron-helium wave function may be written without any loss of generality as the product form... 

Three helium models were generated (Thomas and Humberston, 1972) for these investigations by setting wHe = 0, 2 and 4 the corresponding numbers of terms in the helium model wave function, according to the scheme in equation (3.80), are 1, 5 and 14 respectively. These models are... 

We discuss some features of a model for calculation of p-strength functions, in particular some recent improvements. An essential feature of the model is that it takes the microscopic structure of the nucleus into account. The initial version of the model used Nilsson model wave functions as the starting point for determining the wave functions of the mother and daughter nuclei, and added a pairing interaction treated in the BCS approximation and a residual GT interaction treated in the RPA-approximation. We have developed a version of the code that uses Woods-Saxon wave functions as input. We have also improved the treatment of the odd-A Av=0 transitions, so that the singularities that occured in the old theory are now avoided. 

Since most nuclei in the region of deformation at A 100 can only be produced with rather low yields which makes detailed spectroscopic studies difficult, we have examined possibilities of extracting nuclear structure information from easily measurable gross 13-decav properties. As examples, comparisons of recent experimental results on Rb-Y and 101Rb-Y to RPA shell model calculations using Nilsson-model wave functions are presented and discussed.

In addition, we must treat states as a special case. There are two possible functions depending on their behaviour under av the combination requires at the very least a two-electron wave function. Let us take as a model wave function one constructed with two electrons in jt orbitals ...

The different contributions to the HF, BLYP and B3LYP interaction energy of CO on the Pt 3(7,3,3) cluster model representation of the Pt(lll) surface as obtained at the various steps of the CSOV method are reported on Figure 2. The most important result of this comparison is that the qualitative picture of the chemisorption bond arising from ab initio HF and DFT quantum chemical approaches is essentially the same the relative importance of the different mechanisms remaining unchanged. This is an important conclusion because it validates many previous analysis of the chemisorption bond carried out in the framework of Hartree-Fock cluster model wave functions. " ... 

Here we consider [25] the properties of H at the centre of a spherical box of radius R, using a numerical approach to obtain the energies and polarizabilities. We also develop some model wave functions, simple expressions for the energies and polarizability, deduce the critical radius R for which E = 0, and extend the analysis to the confined helium atom with effective screening.

For each state and R, the first row is from numerical calculation, the second row in brackets is from model wave function, and the third row in brackets is from the simple expression in Equation (3.39). The last column is the dipole polarizability for the ground state...

One can develop simple but accurate model wave functions for a confined hydrogen atom, based on the general cusp and inflexion properties discussed in Section 2.2 and the virial relation in Equation (2.16). 

One can develop a model wave function for the first order perturbed wave function in Equation (3.10) and use it to evaluate the polarizability in Equation (3.9). Here it is interesting to observe [35] that... 

Then the model wave function Ro(r) in Equation (3.17) and the perturbed wave function in Equation (3.32) allow us to obtain the polarizabilities in Equation (3.30). The predicted values [25] of a for some values of R are given in Table 1, and are observed to be close to the numerically calculated accurate values.

The solutions have been obtained [24] by solving these equations numerically, and by using model wave functions. 

When Exc p is specified, the relevant ground-state density for Hohenberg-Kohn theory is p0, computed using the equivalent orbital functional Exc in the OEL equahons, (Q — e,-)local potential w(r) in the corresponding KS equahons is determined by the KSC by minimizing T for p = p0. Assuming the locality hypothesis, that w — v is the Frechet derivative of the model ground-state functional h p — Ts[p, this implies that w = vh + vxc + v is a sum of local potentials. If i>xc in the OEL equahons was equivalent to a local potential vxc(r), the KS and OEL equations would produce the same model wave function. 

In order to study the compression modulus of the finite nucleus 0 let us consider as a model wave function the Slater determinant appropriate to describe the ground-state of 0 in terms of harmonic oscillator functions for a given oscillator length b. For each oscillator length one can calculate the radial density distribution pb(r) and the average nucleon density...
