概要 | A formulation is proposed to treat the ground-state properties of an assembly of electrons, interacting mutually through the Coulomb potential and confined by an external potential V whose maximum is finite so that both bound and extended continuum states appear as eigen states for the one-body Hamiltonian composed of the electron kinetic energy and V. These extended states are found to play a crucial role in incorporating the effect of electron correlation into the localized ground-state many-electron wave function. As an illustration of our formalism, the ground-state energy of a He atom is calculated in its simplest version and compared rather successfully with experiment as well as the results in other serious numerical methods. We also calculate the density and pair distribution functions in the same version. Special attention is paid to the latter function in this system in order to elucidate a qualitative difference from that in the homogeneous electron gas. This function shows clearly that the two electrons with opposite spins in He correlate strongly over quite a long range in contrast to the common expectation that the ground-state wave function for the He atom can be described accurately in the Hartree-Fock approximation. |
