Atomic Gaussian type orbitals and their Fourier transforms via the Rayleigh expansion
- Department of Energy Systems Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Adıyaman University, 02040, Adıyaman (Turkey)
Gaussian type orbitals (GTOs), which are one of the types of exponential type orbitals (ETOs), are used usually as basis functions in the multi-center atomic and molecular integrals to better understand physical and chemical properties of matter. In the Fourier transform method (FTM), basis functions have not simplicity to make mathematical operations, but their Fourier transforms are easier to use. In this work, with the help of FTM, Rayleigh expansion and some properties of unnormalized GTOs, we present new mathematical results for the Fourier transform of GTOs in terms of Laguerre polynomials, hypergeometric and Whittaker functions. Physical and analytical properties of GTOs are discussed and some numerical results have been given in a table. Finally, we compare our mathematical results with the other known literature results by using a computer program and details of evaluation are presented.
