Journal ArticleDOI

Discrete Variational Method for the Energy-Band Problem with General Crystal Potentials

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational method for efficiently calculating energy bands and charge densities in solids is presented; the method can be viewed as a weighted local energy procedure or alternately as a numerical integration scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculations of molecular ionization energies using a self‐consistent‐charge Hartree–Fock–Slater method

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical-variational method for performing self-consistent molecular calculations in the Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) model is presented, where wavefunctions are expanded in terms of basis sets constructed from numerical HFS solutions of selected one-center atom-like problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic Band Structure and Optical Properties of Graphite from a Variational Approach

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic band structure of graphite has been calculated from an ab initio variational approach using a linear-combination of atomic-orbitals (LCAO) basis of Bloch states, including nonspherical terms in the one-electron crystal potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

An efficient numerical multicenter basis set for molecular orbital calculations: Application to FeCl4

TL;DR: The use of numerical solutions to atom-like single site potentials as a basis for molecular orbital calculations is investigated in this article, where the atomic Hamiltonian is modified by adding a potential well to induce additional discrete levels with the desired spatial characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient and accurate expansion methods for molecules in local density models

TL;DR: In this paper, a selfconsistent multicenter-multipolar (SCM) representation of the density is introduced, which allows calculation of the Coulomb and exchange correlation potentials to any desired level of precision.
