Virial relation

Let us then consider the case when cpx is an arbitrary trial function which does not satisfy the virial relation. From the relation Eq. 11.24 follows... 

We see how, though we have use two aproximations, the estimates of are adequate except for low Z and the deviation for the virial relation is not large. 

The term AEi, can easily be calculated by using the virial relations for the Dirac equation [19,20]. Such a calculation gives [14]... 

It is well known that for atomic gases at low densities the Clausius-Mossotti function can be related to the atomic polarizability via the following virial relation ... 

The interaction between bonded atoms is characterized by the values of p(r), V-p(r), G r) and V(r) at the bond critical point. G(r) is the positive definite kinetic energy density and V(r) is the potential energy density. At a bond critical point, the kinetic and potential energy densities are related to the Laplacian by the local form of the virial relation ... 

Here, we begin by analysing some general properties of the energy eigenfunctions of a confined hydrogenic system, the cusp and inflexion properties, and virial relation. 

One can develop simple but accurate model wave functions for a confined hydrogen atom, based on the general cusp and inflexion properties discussed in Section 2.2 and the virial relation in Equation (2.16). 

The remaining parameter is determined by requiring that the virial relation in Equation (2.16) is satisfied. For simplicity we choose a value for a, determine b from Equation (3.18), and b2 from Equation (3.19). Then a is varied to obtain the value of a for which the virial relation in Equation (2.16) is satisfied. The total energy is then deduced as a sum of the expectation values of the kinetic energy and the potential energy,... 

The energies obtained [25] for Z = 0, 1, 2, for some values of R, are given in Table 1. It may be noted that these values are close to the accurate, numerically obtained values. This demonstrates the importance of the general cusp and inflexion properties, and virial relation, for the energy eigenfunctions. The values of the parameter a, normalization constant A and some related expectation values are given in Ref. [25]. 

Hence, for a harmonic oscillator placed in the center of an impenetrable cavity (that is, when Sa = 0) it follows from the virial relation (3.10) that... 

After the previous discussion, a virial related diagonal operator, T, can be defined without problems, using the same procedure followed in the energy expression. If the virial is fulfilled, then, the trace,, of the resulting diagonal matrix product will be zero ...

Eqs. A8-22-A8-24], Satisfying these relations is frequently referred to as satisfying the virial relation. Completely optimized single- and double- functions satisfy the virial relation. 

It follows that Hartree-Fock atomic wavefunctions must satisfy the virial relation. Such solutions are, by definition, the best (lowest energy) attainable in a single deter-minantal form. Best includes all conceivable variation, linear or nonlinear, so all improvements achievable by scale factor variation are already present at the Hartree-Fock level, and r) = 1. 

If we compare this to the Van der Waals equation in the form of a development of the virial (relation [7.21]), we obtain ... 

The potential V(r) is closely related to the average potential defined by Slater [59, 60] we call it the Ehrenfest potential. For Ehrenfest potentials that are homogeneous of degree minus one in r, (16) gives the usual Coulombic virial relation between the total potential energy and the total kinetic energy, —V=2T.
