Title
Local energy equation for two-electron atoms and relation between kinetic energy and electron densities
Author
Abstract
In early work, Dawson and March [J. Chem. Phys. 81, 5850 (1984)] proposed a local energy method for treating both Hartree-Fock and correlated electron theory. Here, an exactly solvable model two-electron atom with pure harmonic interactions is treated in its ground state in the above context. A functional relation between the kinetic energy density t(r) at the origin r=0 and the electron density rho(r) at the same point then emerges. The same approach is applied to the Hookean atom, in which the two electrons repel with Coulombic energy e(2)/r(12), with r(12) the interelectronic separation, but are still harmonically confined. Again the kinetic energy density t(r) is the focal point, but now generalization away from r=0 is also effected. Finally, brief comments are added about He-like atomic ions in the limit of large atomic number. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
