Perturbation theory usefulness

The amplitude for the so-ealled referenee CSF used in the SCF proeess is taken as unity and the other CSFs amplitudes are determined, relative to this one, by Rayleigh-Sehrodinger perturbation theory using the full N-eleetron Hamiltonian minus the sum of Foek operators H-H as the perturbation. The Slater-Condon rules are used for evaluating matrix elements of (H-H ) among these CSFs. The essential features of the MPPT/MBPT approaeh are deseribed in the following artieles J. A. Pople, R.

The perturbation theory used by Holstein in his small-polaron model confines its validity to an upper limit for J of around hto0, which corresponds to a non-adiabatic process. The adiabatic process, for which J > has been studied less extensively. In the high temperature limit, Emin and Holstein [46] arrive at the result that... 

Abstract For the case of small matter effects V expansion parameter. We derive simple and physically transparent formulas for the oscillation probabilities in the lowest order in e which are valid for an arbitrary density profile. They can be applied for the solar and supernova neutrinos propagating in matter of the Earth. Using these formulas we study features of averaging of the oscillation effects over the neutrino energy. Sensitivity of these effects to remote (from a detector), d > PE/AE, structures of the density profile is suppressed.

Ya.B. applied formal perturbation theory to the interaction of an atom with the electrons of a metal, where the latter are assumed to be free. Meanwhile, Casimir and Polder and Lifshitz neglected the spatial dispersion of the dielectric permittivity of the metal. Therefore, in the region of small distances, frequencies of order ui0 are important at small distances in the sense indicated above, as are arbitrarily small frequencies at large distances. In both limits the dielectric permittivity of the metal is not at all close to one. Meanwhile, the perturbation theory used by Ya.B. corresponds formally to an expansion in powers of e - 1. and is therefore not applicable in this case. Neglecting the spatial dispersion is valid, however, only at distances r > a (a is the Debye radius in the metal) of the atom from the surface. At the opposite extreme, r a, the wave vectors kj 1/r > a vF/u>0 Me of importance (vF is the electron speed at the Fermi boundary). In this region of strong spatial dispersion perturbation theory can be applied, and the (--dependence satisfies Zeldovich s law.

An interesting application of many-body perturbation theory using a discrete orbital basis has been reported by Robb.162 In calculations on BH, comparison was made between the results and those of Houlden et a/.152 using Cl. Most of the pair-pair interaction energy can be recovered by this method. 

If the distance between the interacting systems A and B is sufficiently large to enable the overlap of the respective electronic clouds to be disregarded, then the interaction energy may be calculated from the Rayleigh- Schrodinger perturbation theory, using as a basis of functions to describe the wave function of AB...

Except for the operator S, Eq. (256) is a secular equation in standard form with unperturbed part K and perturbation W. Because of S, however, Eq. (256) looks like a generalized secular equation typical of perturbation theory using a nonorthogonal basis, where S would be interpreted as the overlap matrix...

All the important contributions to the forces between molecules arise ultimately from the electrostatic interactions between the particles that make up the two molecules. Thus our main theoretical insight into the nature of intermolecular forces comes from perturbation theory, using these interactions as the perturbation operator H = Z e, /(4jtSor/y), where is the charge on particle i in one molecule, is the distance between particles i and / in different molecules, and 8q is permittivity of a vacuum. The definitions of the contributions, such as the repulsion, dispersion, and electrostatic terms, which are normally included in model potentials, correspond to different terms in the perturbation series expansion. 

The replacement of a C atom in a conjugated system by a heteroatom such as N may be considered the simplest example of a purely inductive substituent effect. The influence on the orbital energies may then be estimated by first-order perturbation theory using the relation...

Both works [2] and [3] show the separations of the eigenvalue equations for H and H, and H and H, in their respective spheroconal coordinates, into Lame differential equations in the individual elliptical cone angular coordinates. The corresponding solutions are Lam6 spheroconal polynomials included in the classic book of Whittaker and Watson [12]. In practice, the numerical evaluation of such Lame functions was not developed in an efficient manner so that the exact formulation of Ref. [2] did not prosper. Consequently, the analysis of rotations of asymmetric molecules took the route of perturbation theory using the familiar basis of spherical harmonics.
