SOME ASPECTS ON THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF ATOMS. Technical Note No. 27

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4180421
tially to many-electron atoms is presented. Angular properties are examined, and it is shown that atomic wave functions of pure angular momentum such as spin, orbital angular momentum, and total angular momentum can be constructed by means of the recently developed projection operator technique. Several modifications of an approach in which superposition of configurations is used are discussed in detail. The wave functions resulting from this approach look complicated but may often be simplified by going over to the basic set of spin orbitals which is characterized by having maximum occupation numbers.
