Title: General applicability of a big molecule Gaussian SCF/CI program for calculations of excited metastables and of negative ion bound states and resonances. I. Stabilization method: H/sup -/

Journal Article · · Int. J. Quant. Chem.; (United States)

In order to attempt to calculate the possible stability or instability of some exotic metastable singly negative or doubly negative ions, the applicability of a large general big polyatomic molecule Gaussian program for the stabilization method was explored. The preliminary analysis indicates that it apparently would be straightforward to multiply the matrix elements by e/sup-2i..cap alpha../ or e/sup -i..cap alpha../ at the same time the integrals were being transformed from integrals over atomic basis funcions to integrals over atomic or molecular orbitals. Such an addition of complex scaling to the large molecule programs would appear to open up a new dimension in calculations of bound and resonant states of atoms and molecules even large molecules. 31 references.
