Excerpt from The Application of Wave Functions Containing Interelectron Coordinates: II. The Ground State Energy of Atoms
In Sec. 2 of this paper, the general form of the hamiltonian is pre sented and discussed when the interelectron coordinates are introduced in addition to the radial and angular coordinates generally used. In Sec. 3, the separation of the hamiltonian into a perturbed and an unperturbed part is presented. The boundary conditions to be used on the radial and inter electron parts of the wave function are given in Secs. 4 and 5. The solu tion of the unperturbed wave equation under the boundary conditions imposed is easily carried out and the zero-order energy is obtained immediately.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This groundbreaking book explores the use of interelectron coordinates in constructing atomic wave functions. It presents a novel approach that yields surprisingly accurate values for the energy of various atomic systems, even in zero order. The method involves splitting the Hamiltonian into an unperturbed part containing the interelectron and electron-nucleus potentials, and a perturbing term that is always finite and vanishes when an electron is far from the nucleus. The resulting unperturbed wave function is a product of individual nuclear and interelectron wave functions, while the zero-order energy is the sum of the individual nuclear and interelectron energies. The author imposes suitable boundary conditions on the radial and interelectron parts of the wave function to account for various phenomena, including the physical behavior expected of the system and the shielding of the nuclear charge by the remaining electrons. The zero-order solutions are obtained under these boundary conditions, and the corresponding zero-order energies are immediately found. Applications of the method to various charged, neutral, and excited atoms illustrate its effectiveness, with results that are considerably better than those obtained using traditional methods. The simplicity of the method, coupled with its remarkable accuracy, underscores the significance of the insights it provides into the complex world of atomic structure.
