A New Dimension To Quantum Chemistry

Download or read book A New Dimension to Quantum Chemistry written by Yukio Yamaguchi and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern theoretical chemistry, the importance of the analytic evaluation of energy derivatives from reliable wave functions can hardly be overestimated. This monograph presents the formulation and implementation of analytical energy derivative methods in ab initio quantum chemistry. It includes a systematic presentation of the necessary algebraic formulae for all of the derivations. The coverage is limited to derivative methods for wave functions based on the variational principle, namely restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF), configuration interaction (CI) and multi-configuration self-consistent-field (MCSCF) wave functions. The monograph is intended to facilitate the work of quantum chemists, and will serve as a useful resource for graduate-level students of the field.
