Exercises: Self-consistent Field

  1. Study the files, using the Table of Contents You will finds some useful information about the atoms etc.
  2. Use the ready made input files for some of the atoms and compare the results with the tabulated experimental values Binding Energies of electrons in Atoms
  3. Study the provided plots (About the Calculations) provided plots of the wavefunctions and potentials.
  4. Use the plotting program gnuplot or the script gnuplot_tool to produce your figures. Export the pictures (more details coming).
  5. Prepare a report of your exercise. Instructions will be provided soon!!
