Transferable relativistic Dirac-Slater pseudopotentials

چکیده
We present a method for constructing a scalar-relativistic pseudopotential that provides exact agreement with relativistic Dirac-Slater all-electron eigenvalues at the reference configuration. All-electron wave functions are self-consistently computed in the valence region at the exact all-electron scalar relativistic eigenvalues. This method improves transferability of the resulting pseudopotential and presents a better starting point for the designed nonlocal pseudopotential approach @Phys. Rev. B 59, 12 471 ~1999!#. We present calculations for the gold atom as an example of this approach.

Solutions of the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock equations
The multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) model uses a linear combination of Slater determinants to approximate the electronic N -body wave function of a relativistic molecular system, resulting in a coupled system of nonlinear eigenvalue equations, the MCDF equations. In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of these equations in the weakly relativistic regime. First, using a new vari...
متن کاملComparison of Smooth Hartree-Fock Pseudopotentials.
The accuracy of two widely used scalar relativistic Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials, the Trail-Needs-Dirac-Fock (TNDF) and the Burkatzki-Filippi-Dolg (BFD) pseudopotentials, is assessed. The performance of the pseudopotentials is tested for a chemically representative set of 34 first-row molecules. All comparisons are made at the Hartree-Fock level of theory, and both sets of pseudopotentials giv...
متن کاملEnergy-consistent pseudopotentials and correlation consistent basis sets for the 5d elements Hf-Pt.
New relativistic energy-consistent pseudopotentials have been generated for the 5d transition metals Hf-Pt. The adjustment was done in numerical two-component multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations, using atomic valence-energy spectra from four-component multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations as reference data. The resulting two-component pseudopotentials replace the [Kr]4d(10...
متن کاملSystematically convergent basis sets with relativistic pseudopotentials. II. Small-core pseudopotentials and correlation consistent basis sets for the post-d group 16–18 elements
A series of correlation consistent basis sets have been developed for the post-d group 16–18 elements in conjunction with small-core relativistic pseudopotentials of the energy-consistent variety. The latter were adjusted to multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock data based on the Dirac–Coulomb–Breit Hamiltonian. The outer-core (n21)spd shells are explicitly treated together with the nsp valence...
متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
