Total energy expressions

Let us try to write down a general expression for the electronic ground-state energy of the system under consideration. Obviously, we have to have in it the kinetic energy of the electrons, their interaction with the nuclei and their repulsion among themselves. However, in the DFT approach we write the following 

No doubt, the energy expression might contain such a self-interaction, but this is certainly not all that should be included in the electron-electron interaction. Two electrons repel each other electrostaticalfy and therefore around each of them there has to exist a kind of no-parking zone for the other one ( Coulomb hole . 

we have written a few terms and we do not know what to write down next. WeU,

There are two electrons that can both be put into the lower-energy orbital with opposite spins so the electronic energy is 2e+. The internuclear repulsion term must also be included in the total energy expression, giving (through eq. 1.33) ... 

In the Hartree-Fock approach, the many-body wave function in form of a Slater determinant plays the key role in the theory. For instance, the Hartree-Fock equations are derived by minimization of the total energy expressed in terms of this determinantal wave function. In density functional theory (3,4), the fundamental role is taken over by an observable quantity, the electron density. An important theorem of density functional theory states that the correct ground state density, n(r), determines rigorously all electronic properties of the system, in particular its total energy. The totd energy of a system can be expressed as a functional of the density n (r) and this functional, E[n (r)], is minimized by the ground state density. 

At first glance, the situation looks if anything worse than was true for AC. Now the ensemble averages are not over the total energies (already large numbers), but over exponentials of the total energies expressed in multiples of k Tl However, as long as the two systems A... 

The performance of the cluster approach can be improved dramatically if it is combined with the recently developed ONIOM methodology43 which is an n-layered integrated molecular orbital and molecular mechanics approach. A threelayered version of the ONIOM approximation allows a quantum-mechanical study of systems which are normally considered with molecular mechanics methods to be performed. The three-layered total energy expression for the ONIOM scheme is defined as... 

Inserting the power-series expansion of A [Eq. (63)] in the total energy expression in Eq. (55) allows us to identify the geometrical derivatives for the MCSCF wave function as... 

The second term in our new total energy expression is a short-range repulsive two-particle interaction and contains a correction for double counting the electrons in the band energy. It is equal to E = - E. Symbolically, the new total energy expression can, therefore, be written as ... 

The archetype for the TB total energy expression,, for ionic coordinates Rn is... 

Moreover, the potential energy is given through the total-energy expressions above, Eqs. (6) and (8), independently of whether accurate, ab initio or density-functional, or more approximate model potentials are used,... 

Finally, the potential energy is written as the total-energy expression modified with an extra term that shall guarantee that the orbitals are orthonormal,... 

Optimize the parameter in question, i.e. choose the value of it which yields the minimum of the total energy expression, or, more generally, yields stationary energy. 

PM3 differs from AMI in that the former treats the one-center, two-electron integrals as pure parameters, as opposed to being derived from atomic spectroscopy. In PM3 all quantities that enter the Fock matrix and the total energy expression have been treated as pure parameters. 

To form a microcanonical ensemble for the total Hamiltonian, H = HTib + Hrot, orthant sampling may be used for energy E = H. A (2n + 3)-dimen-sional random unit vector is chosen and projected onto the semiaxes for jx, jy, and jz [e.g., the semiaxis for jx is (2fx )1/2] as well as the semiaxes for Q and P. Since rotation has one squared-term in the total energy expression, whereas vibration has two, the average energy in a rotational degree of freedom will be one-half of that in a vibrational degree of freedom. 

The matrix elements of the relativistically corrected Hamiltonian, to be used in the DKH calculations, should result from a variation of the total energy expression - for consistency and to assist in the calculation of energy gradients. Variation of E vith respect to the density matrix F yields a contribution to the DKS Hamiltonian, see Eqs. (29) and (30) ... 

The expressions for the first- and second-order energies have been given earlier simply by extracting the terms of each order from the total energy expression. We shall now see that the form of the self-consistent first-order density matrix and its properties enable these expressions to be simplified considerably. 

Since the A and S operators are determined by making the total energy expression in Eq. (5.7) stationary, the zeroth-order terms that appear in Eqs. (5.8) and (5.9) become zero because the state 0> was optimized in the absence of the one-electron perturbation. The terms -i<0 [A< -h S H] 0>, which are of first order in a, and - /<0 [A -f- H] 0>, which are of second order, vanish because of the GBT. Hence, in Eq. (5.7) all of the terms remaining should be viewed as containing A and since we are only keeping terms up through in our energy expansion.
