In this paper we study the problem of uniqueness of solutions to the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations of atoms. We show, for example, that the Hartree-Fock ground state of a closed shell atom is unique provided the atomic number $Z$ is…
Whereas many different models exist in the mathematical and physics literature for ground states of non-relativistic crystals, the relativistic case has been much less studied and we are not aware of any mathematical result on a fully…
We prove within the Hartree-Fock theory of pseudo-relativistic atoms that the maximal negative ionization charge and the ionization energy of an atom remain bounded independently of the nuclear charge Z and the fine structure constant…
For neutral and positively charged atoms and molecules, we prove the existence of infinitely many Hartree-Fock critical points below the first energy threshold (that is, the lowest energy of the same system with one electron removed). This…
We study the Hartree-Fock model for pseudorelativistic atoms, that is, atoms where the kinetic energy of the electrons is given by the pseudorelativistic operator \sqrt{(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2}-mc^2. We prove the existence of a Hartree-Fock…
This paper is concerned with the ground states of a coupled pseudo-relativistic Hartree system in $\mathbb{R} ^{3} $ with trapping potentials, where the intraspecies and the interspecies interaction are both attractive. By investigating an…
As the nuclear charge Z is continuously decreased an N-electron atom undergoes a binding-unbinding transition at some critical Z_c. We investigate whether the electrons remain bound when Z=Z_c and whether the radius of the system stays…
The Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock (BDF) model is the mean-field approximation of no-photon Quantum Electrodynamics. The present paper is devoted to the study of the minimization of the BDF energy functional under a charge constraint. An associated…
We study the well-posedness of the reduced Hartree-Fock model for molecules and perfect crystals when taking into account a self-generated magnetic field. We exhibit a critical value $\alpha_c > 0$ such that, if the fine structure constant…
We prove the ionization conjecture within the Hartree-Fock theory of atoms. More precisely, we prove that, if the nuclear charge is allowed to tend to infinity, the maximal negative ionization charge and the ionization energy of atoms…
We show that the Hamiltonian describing N nonrelativistic electrons with spin, interacting with the quantized radiation field and several fixed nuclei with total charge Z has a ground state when N <Z+1. The result holds for any value of the…
We study the ground state properties of an atom with nuclear charge $Z$ and $N$ bosonic ``electrons'' in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field $B$. We investigate the mean field limit $N\to\infty$ with $N/Z$ fixed, and identify three…
We study the periodic Hartree-Fock model used for the description of electrons in a crystal. The existence of a minimizer was previously shown by Catto, Le Bris and Lions (Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Anal. Non Lineaire} 18 (2001), no.6,…
We show that the $N$-electron Hamiltonian $H(N, Z)$ with the total nuclear charge $Z$ has no normalizable ground state if the ground state energy $E(N, Z)$ satisfies $E(N, Z)= E(N-1, Z)$ for $Z=N-1$. For anions $\mathrm{He}^-,…
We study the energy of relativistic electrons and positrons interacting via the second quantized Coulomb potential in the field of a nucleus of charge Z within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We show that the associated functional has a…
In this article, we consider quantum crystals with defects in the reduced Hartree-Fock framework. The nuclei are supposed to be classical particles arranged around a reference periodic configuration. The perturbation is assumed to be small…
Bounds are studied for the maximum number, $N_c$, of electrons that can be bound to $K$ atoms of the total nuclear charge $Z$. It is proved that $N_c < \min\{2Z+1, 1.22Z + 3Z^{1/3}\}$ in Schr\"odinger theory. This improves Lieb's bound $N_c…
We consider the problem of existence of constrained minimizers for the focusing mass-subcritical Half-Wave equation with a defocusing mass-subcritical perturbation. We show the existence of a critical mass such that minimizers do exist for…
We study the ionization problem in the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizs\"acker theory for atoms and molecules. We prove the nonexistence of minimizers for the energy functional when the number of electrons is large and the total nuclear charge…
We determine the ground state energy of atoms and quantum dots whose number N of electrons is large. We show that the dominant terms of the energy are those given by a semiclassical Hartree-Fock theory. Correlation effects appear at the…
