Simultaneous optimization of Gaussian type function exponents for electron and positron with full-CI wavefunction - application to ground and excited states of positronic compounds with multi-component molecular orbital approach
In order to obtain the best wavefunction of positronic compound with molecular orbital (MO) treatment, the full-configuration interaction (full-CI) fully variational MO (FVMO) method is proposed for multi-component systems. in which all the variational parameters in electronic and positronic wavefunctions are optimized under the full-CI scheme. We have applied the full-CI multi-component FVMO method to the ground and positronic-excited states of [H- ;e(+)] system. Our treatment gives good improvement in the basis functions for positronic compounds owing to the extension of flexibility in the variational space, though the convergence of electron-positron correlation term is slower than that of conventional electron correlation.
