The correspondence of the notation of the irreducible representations of the double group Z, Z, n, A, 0, r, E 2, 3/2, 5/2. nji nd the nonrelativistic states are 0+,0 , 1,2,3,4,1/2,3/2,5/2 and n/2, respectively. The direct product for the irreducible representations of the double groups need to be defined so that one could use the double-group theory to derive relativistic electronic states from the nonrelativistic states. For example the direct product 21+ has irreducible representation and the corresponding Q, state is 0+, the direct product n A has irreducible representation 0 U what corresponds to 3,1 42 states. Similarly, the direct product Z n gives the 17 irreducible representation and corresponds to 1 42 state. More details can be found in [2, 26]. 

The determination of a relativistic state arising from a given non-relativistic state involves two steps. Firstly, the irreducible representations spanned by the spin multiplets using double group correlation (as discussed above) are found out. These irreducible representations are then multiplied with the spatial symmetry of the non-relativistic state in the next step. The resulting set of the irreducible representations is then transformed to the 2 state. As an example, for the nonrelativistic state of the studied cation, s = 1 and hence D corresponds to Z and n irreducible representations. The direct products ... 

Thus the nonrelativistic state yields n, Z, and A states and their assignments according to Q quantum numbers are 1, 0+, 0 , and 2. The above discussion gives only some background to further studies.

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. 

In the nonrelativistic limit (at c = 10 °) the band contribution to the total energy does not depend on the SDW polarization. This is apparent from Table 2 in which the numerical values of Eb for a four-atom unit cell are listed. The table also gives the values of the Fermi energy Ep and the density of states at the Fermi level N Ef). 

Quantum Mechanical Generalities.—It will be recalled that in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the state of a particle at a given instant t is represented by a vector in Hilbert space (f)>. The evolution of the system in time is governed by the Schrodinger equation... 

Many chemical problems can be discussed by way of a knowledge of the electronic state of molecules. The electronic state of a molecular system becomes known if we solve the electronic Schrodinger equation, which can be separated from the time-independent, nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation for the whole molecule by the use of the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation D. In this approximation, the electrons are considered to move in the field of momentarily fixed nuclei. The nuclear configuration provides the parameters in the Schrodinger equation.
