Abstract

|
| In earlier work, we demonstrated that the three-parameter correlated variational ground-state wave function of Chandrasekhar for two-electron atomic ions led to a closed analytic ground-state electron density rho(r). Here, we determine the three parameters by imposing (i) Kato's cusp condition at the nucleus, (ii) the correct large-r behavior of rho(r) involving the ionization potential, and (iii) the electrostatic potential created by rho(r) at the nucleus, as given by the 1/Z expansion of atomic theory. It is then found, from results obtained for Be through Ne, that the electron-electron coalescence condition is increasingly well accounted for as the atomic number Z increases. Finally, the one-body potential of density functional theory is extracted from rho(r). (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
