Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bruch, in early work, treated a spatially free Moshinsky atom with four parallel-spin electrons interacting harmonically. Here we add a harmonic external potential, having an unrelated spring constant , and use the variational method, with a one-parameter trial wave function, to examine the quintet ground state energy and electron density, particularly in the weak confinement limit . The results are compared with Bruch's and modest contact is made with the early work of Post. |
