Numerical application of a variational technique in quantum mechanics
thesis
posted on 2018-10-09, 10:41 authored by Michael BlakemoreThe work presented in this thesis concerns the application of
methods based on the one-electron Green's integral operator to certain
quantum mechanical wave equations associated in particular with atomic
and molecular systems. Estimates of eigenvalues and wavefunctions for
such systems are computed by means of variational functionals based on
this operator.
In the case of molecular systems, the major difficulty is that of
evaluating the resulting integrals. In the early part of the thesis,
this problem is discussed in some detail with particular reference to
the H+2 molecular ion. [Continues.]
