Bipolar expansions and overlap corrections to the electrostatic interaction energy

Mathematical Physics 2016-06-24 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We use the multipole technique to derive four equivalent expressions for the bipolar expansion of the inverse distance, valid in all the regions of configuration space. Using the first-order perturbation theory, we calculate the overlap correction to the long-range electrostatic energy between two hydrogen atoms and between a hydrogen atom and a proton.
