FIRST-ORDER PERTURBATION CORRECTIONS TO THE HARTREE-FOCK APPROXIMATION FOR HELIUM

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
Variational perturbation theory was used to compute the first-order wave function for the ground state of the helium atom, in a scheme where the Hartree- Fock function is treated as the zeroth-order approximation. The firstorder function was approximated by a Hylleraas-like expansion, explicitly containing r/ sub 12/. A total energy is obtained through third order of -2.90262 au, as compared with the nonrelativistic eigenvalue of -2.90372. The first-order corrections to expectation values of a selection of one- and two-electron operators were computed. The calculations were also done for the isoelectronic ions, H/sup -/, Li/sup +/, and Be/sup 2+/. (auth)
