In this article, mixed sets of functions consisting of 1s Slater orbitals and floating spherical Gaussians are proposed as expansion functions for ab initio variational type calculations for small molecules.
Abstract
Mixed sets of functions consisting of 1s Slater orbitals and floating spherical Gaussians are proposed as expansion functions for ab initio variational type calculations for small molecules. After the discussion of the basic computational methods the results of some trial calculations for the ground state of the helium atom are presented.ZusammenfassungFür ab initio Rechnungen vom Variationstyp werden im Falle kleiner Moleküle gemischte Funktionssätze, die aus 1s Slater-Orbitalen bestehen, vorgeschlagen. Nach einer Diskussion der grundlegenden Rechenmethoden werden die Resultate von einigen Proberechnungen für den Grundzustand des Heliumatoms geschildert.

The History and Evolution of Gaussian Basis Sets

TL;DR: The history and evolution of Gaussian basis sets in molecular electronic structure calculations are reviewed in this article, from the original proposals by McWeeny and Boys to the current high-quality generally-contracted basis sets of the atomic natural orbital and correlation-consistent types.

Optimum atomic orbitals for molecular calculations A review

F.R. Burden, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1972 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree-Fock framework is used for the calculation of atomic structure and the methods of using the information gained from this work in molecular calculations, but no topic is considered in full depth and only selected examples from the literature are used to illustrate the main points.

Does the spatial confinement influence the electric properties and cooperative effects of the hydrogen bonded systems? HCN chains as a case study

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of orbital compression on the energetic and electric properties as well as cooperative effects in the hydrogen-bonded systems was investigated using the MP2 method, which demonstrated inter alia that the spatial confinement significantly influences the analyzed properties.

On the Non‐Orthogonality Problem Connected with the Use of Atomic Wave Functions in the Theory of Molecules and Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the overlap integrals are of essential importance in molecules and in crystals, instead of being negligible, and the problem is simply solved by considering the orthonormalized functions [open phi]μ, given by (21), as the real atomic orbitals.

Atomic Shielding Constants

TL;DR: In this article, simple rules are set up giving approximate analytic atomic wave functions for all the atoms, in any stage of ionization, in analogy with the method of Zener for the atoms from Li to F, and these are applied to x-ray levels, sizes of atoms and ions, diamagnetic susceptibility, etc.
