Nonrelativistic Limit of the Dirac-fock Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock equations are proved to be the non relativistic limit of the Dirac-Fock equations as far as convergence of \stationary states" is concerned. This property is used to derive a meaningful deenition of \ground state" energy and \ground state" solutions for the Dirac-Fock model.

On the asymptotic analysis of the Dirac-Maxwell system in the nonrelativistic limit
We deal with the “nonrelativistic limit”, i.e. the limit c → ∞, where c is the speed of light, of the nonlinear PDE system obtained by coupling the Dirac equation for a 4-spinor to the Maxwell equations for the self-consistent field created by the “moving charge” of the spinor. This limit, sometimes also called “Post-Newtonian” limit, yields a SchrödingerPoisson system, where the spin and the m...
متن کاملSolutions 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 کاملSymmetry Breaking of Relativistic Multiconfiguration Methods in the Nonrelativistic Limit
The multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method allows to calculate the state of relativistic electrons in atoms or molecules. This method has been known for a long time to provide certain wrong predictions in the nonrelativistic limit. We study in full mathematical details the nonlinear model obtained in the nonrelativistic limit for Be-like atoms. We show that the method with sp + pd configurations ...
متن کاملDirac-Fock models for atoms and molecules and related topics
Relativistic effects are important in the electrons’ dynamics and bound state energies in heavy atoms and molecules. When the nucleii involved are heavily charged, the velocities of the electrons of the inner layers are quite large, and so nonrelativistic modelling will lead to important errors. The usual strategies to address this issue are : either use nonrelativistic models together with rel...
متن کاملSymmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter in the relativistic approach at finite temperatures
The properties of hot matter are studied in the frame of the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. The equations are solved self-consistently in the full Dirac space. For the interaction we used the potentials given by Brockmann and Machleidt. The obtained critical temperatures are smaller than in most of the nonrelativistic investigations. We also calculated the thermodynamic properties ...
