Potential nuclear

Let us define a nuclear potential, which the th electron sees as... 

Solving this equation for the electronic wavefunction will produce the effective nuclear potential function It depends on the nuclear coordinates and describes the potential energy surface for the system. 

Addition of these two inequalities gives Eq + Eo>Eq + Eo, showing that the assumption was wrong. In other words, for the ground state there is a one-to-one correspondence between the electron density and the nuclear potential, and thereby also with the Hamilton operator and tlie energy. In the language of Density Functional Theory, the energy is a unique functional of the electron density, [p].

A simple example of an effective operator with which the reader will be familiar is the use of Zeff e r as the effective nuclear potential experienced by an electron outside of a closed inner shell. Thus, we may compute the energies and wavefunctions for a 2s or 2p electron outside a shell, using the hydrogen-like Hamiltonian,... 

The electron density i/ (0)p at the nucleus primarily originates from the ability of s-electrons to penetrate the nucleus. The core-shell Is and 2s electrons make by far the major contributions. Valence orbitals of p-, d-, or/-character, in contrast, have nodes at r = 0 and cannot contribute to iA(0)p except for minor relativistic contributions of p-electrons. Nevertheless, the isomer shift is found to depend on various chemical parameters, of which the oxidation state as given by the number of valence electrons in p-, or d-, or /-orbitals of the Mossbauer atom is most important. In general, the effect is explained by the contraction of inner 5-orbitals due to shielding of the nuclear potential by the electron charge in the valence shell. In addition to this indirect effect, a direct contribution to the isomer shift arises from valence 5-orbitals due to their participation in the formation of molecular orbitals (MOs). It will be shown in Chap. 5 that the latter issue plays a decisive role. In the following section, an overview of experimental observations will be presented. 

By the shielding of the nuclear potential for core-s and valence-s electrons by the... 

Thus, N and Vext completely and uniquely determine T,, and E0. We say that the ground state energy is afunctional of the number of electrons N and the nuclear potential Vext,... 

A harmonic approximation has usually been used for the description of the nuclear potential energy,... 

The terms on the right-hand side of eq. (11.41) denote the kinetic energy, the electron-nuclear potential energy, the Coulomb (J) and exchange (K) terms respectively. Together J and K describe an effective electron-electron interaction. The prime on the summation in the expression for K exchange term indicates summing only over pairs of electrons of the same spin. The Hartree-Fock equations (11.40) are solved iteratively since the Fock operator / itself depends on the orbitals iff,. 

It can be concluded from the ESP and electron density maps for LiF (as characteristic) that both set of critical points do not coincide (Fig.7). A nuclear potential gives also the picture of CPs differing Ifom one in electron density. These observations reflect a well known theoretical statement that the electron density (and energy) of a many-electron system is not determined fully by the iimer-crystalline electrostatic field. 

Fnuc is the nuclear attraction potential. In the uniform charge distribution model used here, the charge of a nucleus of atomic mass A is distributed uniformly over a sphere with radius R = 2.2677 x 10 . The nuclear potential for a nucleus with charge Z is then... 

Again we rewrite the momentum operator as derivatives to nuclear coordinates and now all parts have been written in terms of second derivatives of overlap, nuclear potential and Coulomb matrices. These are available in the GAMESS-UK package. However, this option is, not yet, implemented. 

It is interesting to note that the Coulomb matrix and the matrix of the nuclear potential present in Vc are opposite in sign. This means that an underestimation, or complete neglect, of the Coulomb matrix will lead to a larger Vc and thus to an overestimation of the relativistic effect. If Vc is negligable compared to 2c the ZORA equation reduces to the non relativistic Schrodinger equation. 

A so-called bare nuclear potential descriptors that probably describe interactions involving polar and hydrogen bonding. 

Since the nuclear potential is a multiplicative function, the nuclear potential matrix elements are defined by...
