Abstract

Use of density-functional theory in a Δ\Deltaself-consistent field framework result in both the ground- and two lowest electronicly excited states of the NaCl and LiCl. The accuracy of this method is confirmed using a multi-configuration self-consistent field method to obtain the same states. The overall good agreement between the calculated ground and excited potential-energy surfaces speaks promising for the computationally simple Δ\Deltaself-consistent field method.
