This chapter presents the Hartree-Fock method with an emphasis on computing the energies of selected closed-shell atoms.

A minimalist self-consistent field theory for small amphiphilic molecules is presented. The equations for this model are less involved than those for block copolymers and are easily implemented computationally. A new convergence technique based on a variant of Anderson mixing is also presented which allows the equations to be solved more rapidly than block copolymer self-consistent field theory...

We study the phase behavior of ternary blends of Aand B-homopolymers and symmetric, or slightly asymmetric, AB-diblock copolymer as obtained from self-consistent field theory. We choose one value of the segregation in the weak to intermediate regime and determine the effects of varying the relative degrees of polymerization of the components. The diagrams we obtain, which contain the classical ...

A new method is developed to combine the large-basis shell-model and Hartree-Fock methods. The HartreeFock method is used to obtain the absolute uncorrelated binding energies, a starting set of single-particle energies, and the single-particle radial wave functions. The shell model Hamiltonian is modified to remove the monopole terms and these are replaced by Hartree-Fock single-particle energi...

GCM study of hexadecapole correlations in superdeformed 194 Hg. Abstract The role of hexadecapole correlations in the lowest superdeformed band of 194 Hg is studied by self consistent mean field methods. The generator coordinate method with particle number projection has been applied using Hartree-Fock wave functions defined along three different hexadecapole paths. In all cases, the ground sta...

An efficient and accurate analytic gradient method is presented for Hartree-Fock and density functional calculations using multiresolution analysis in multiwavelet bases. The derivative is efficiently computed as an inner product between compressed forms of the density and the differentiated nuclear potential through the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. A smoothed nuclear potential is directly differe...

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 ...

For neutral atoms and molecules and positive ions and radicals, we prove the existence of solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations which minimize the Hartree-Fock energy. We establish some properties of the solutions including exponential falloff.
