Many Electron Atoms - Part 4


In this lecture we close the many-electron atoms part. First we commented on the variational method
(relating to previous lectures)

Main parts:

   --     Sum of orbital energies    IS NOT EQUAL  to the   total energy expectation
   --     Beyond the independent electrons;  Spectroscopic Terms;   Configurations
   --     Configuration mixing
   --     DFT  approach   Density Functional Theory   (selfconsistent)
 

Preview Next topic  -  The quantum Mechanics with TIME DEVELOPEMENT


First we  discuss why we do the variation only on the  <  Phi  |    side - and not on both sides
This was forgotten in the last lecture       ../2015_10_14/index.html#revisit_variational

Hartree - Fock     Independent electrons    ( only the antisymmetry / symmetry )

          Beyond      Independent electrons

Configuration mixing                 L - S scheme        j - j scheme
