Correcting models with long-range electron interaction using generalized cusp conditions

Chemical Physics 2023-01-31 v1

Abstract

Sources of energy errors resulting from the replacement of the physical Coulomb interaction by its long-range erfc(μr)/r\mathrm{erfc}(\mu r)/r approximation are explored. It is demonstrated that the results can be dramatically improved and the range of μ\mu giving energies within chemical accuracy limits significantly extended, if the generalized cusp conditions are used to represent the wave function at small rr. The numerical results for two-electron harmonium are presented and discussed.
