Perturbation theory calculations

Quantum-mechanical perturbation theory calculations show y to have large negative values for most atoms. Values for Fe, Fe2+, and Fe3+, given in Table... 

A tedious third order perturbation theory calculation [16, 17] produces some additional state-independent terms with the net result being a few percent different from the naive result above. The additional state-independent contribution beyond the naive result above has the form [20]...

The Mpller-Plesset (MP) treatment of electron correlation [84] is based on perturbation theory, a very general approach used in physics to treat complex systems [85] this particular approach was described by M0ller and Plesset in 1934 [86] and developed into a practical molecular computational method by Binkley and Pople [87] in 1975. The basic idea behind perturbation theory is that if we know how to treat a simple (often idealized) system then a more complex (and often more realistic) version of this system, if it is not too different, can be treated mathematically as an altered (perturbed) version of the simple one. Mpller-Plesset calculations are denoted as MP, MPPT (M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory) or MBPT (many-body perturbation theory) calculations. The derivation of the Mpller-Plesset method [88] is somewhat involved, and only the flavor of the approach will be given here. There is a hierarchy of MP energy levels MPO, MP1 (these first two designations are not actually used), MP2, etc., which successively account more thoroughly for interelectronic repulsion. 

It is well-known that ab initio calculations overestimate the atomic parameters Fk and ff for the 4f configuration (Crosswhite and Crosswhite, 1984 Camall et al., 1989), with the overestimation particularly large (about 35%) for F2. More elaborate perturbation theory calculations (Morrison and Rajnak, 1971 Cai et al., 1992) can reduce this discrepancy. However, for the most part, extensive perturbation theory calculations are not necessary due to the availability of atomic parameter values fitted from the 4F configuration energy level data. 

After some sparse papers published by different authors in the 1970s (see e.g. refs. 111-113), in 1987 Tossel et al.114 performed ab initio CHFPT (coupled Hartree-Fock perturbation theory) calculations of Gd and ap/ the diamagnetic and... 

For completeness, in fig. 5 we compare some of the more precise experimental measurements of helium-like n = 2 fine structure at higher Z with the allorders relativistic perturbation theory calculations of Plante et al. [27]. Fig. 5a... 

That there is something unusual about this description may be seen from the following argument. The d and / -isomers share the same Hamiltonian it for which [it, P] = 0 is true, so that tpi) and rpi) are degenerate in energy. However, since they are distinct physical systems we have assigned them their own Hilbert spaces= t, d, and in the perturbation theory calculation for a given isomer we tacitly asserted that at T = 0 all the excitations of say, the space-inversion operator P as an operator with domain = , since is dense, P has an adjoint P+. The condition...

It is instructive to compare the SCF three-body interaction, represented by the solid curve in Fig. 5.21, with the induction energy, with which there is a tendency to approximate it in the literature. In this context, it should be noted that the induction curve is far too attractive, by a factor of more than 2 in the vicinity of 20°. Other characteristics of its shape differ from the full SCF curve or deformation energy in Fig. 5.21 as well. The three-body forces at the correlated MP2 level are very small in magnitude, and insensitive to angular characteristics of the trimer. Most of these conclusions have been verified by later calculations and by symmetry-adapted perturbation theory calculations, although there were a number of discepancies as welF. The issue is not entirely closed. 

The text books, encyclopedias and handbooks listed in the previous section are complemented by the computer software and hardware through which practical schemes of computation are realized. In this section, we consider the computer software for carrying out molecular many-body perturbation theory calculations. The computer hardware appropriate for such calculations is considered in section 3.7.
