A detailed analysis of a method proposed earlier for calculating good approximation to the electronic correlation energy is presented here. The principal advantages this compared usual CI techniques are discussed.
The Ne photoabsorption spectrum in the region of K edge has been measured with unprecedented energy resolution. results have interpreted by using an ab initio method that predicts natural linewidths, as well relative intensities and positions different $1\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{s}\mathrm{np}$ $(3<~n<~6)$ transitions. remarkable agreement between theory experiment improves spectroscopic characterization these inner-shell excited states where only electron-energy-loss...

Abstract The minimum‐energy geometrical structure of the regioregular head‐to‐tail poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (rr‐HT‐P3HT) polymer has been addressed by means density functional theory (DFT) calculations which include long‐range (van der Waals) interactions. problem P3HT debated in literature last decades mainly for what concerns arrangement alkyl side chains and type content crystalline primitive cell. main result our is that energetically favored at T = 0 K corresponds to polythiophene with...
The possibility of an a posteriori correction to the Hartree-Fock total energy periodic systems through use density functional for correlation is explored. proposed by Colle and Salvetti [Theor. Chim. Acta 37, 329 (1975)] has been adopted, which presents many attractive features: For example, electronic self-interaction excluded (no one electron systems). Computational details calculation from ab initio crystalline orbital linear combination atomic are reported. Quite good results obtained...
Absolute cross sections for the ($p,n$) reactions on $^{63}\mathrm{Cu}$, $^{65}\mathrm{Cu}$, and $^{107}\mathrm{Ag}$ at proton energies from 2.5 to 25 MeV were determined by activation method. Metal foil targets of natural isotopic abundance used; therefore, results $^{63}\mathrm{Zn}$ above 22.3 $^{107}\mathrm{Cd}$ 18.8 include contributions ($p,3n$) reactions. Beam intensities measured with a Faraday cup. Disintegration rates product nuclei assaying their $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays...
The Colle–Salvetti method for calculating the correlation energy [Theor. Chim. Acta 37, 329 (1975)] is generalized to treat cases in which reference function not a Hartree–Fock one, but many-determinant wave function. Through calculations on atoms and diatomic molecules it shown that this approach gives ‘‘experimental,’’ non-relativistic electronic at millihartree level of accuracy also internuclear distances far from equilibrium positions.

A systematic study of the cross sections for $K$-shell ionization by 2.0-MeV-electron impact has been made as a function atomic number. The 32 elements from V ($Z=23$) to Bi ($Z=83$) were first measured relative each other, and then normalized 43 b at Sn ($Z=50$).
