Orthogonal- and nonorthogonal-orbital methods in the theory of magnetism

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The effective spin Hamiltonian is obtained in the Dirac-van Vleck form by the method of nonorthogonal atomic orbitals with an estimate of virtual interatomic transitions. The equivalence of the orthogonal- and nonorthogonal-orbital methods is demonstrated for a bounded configurational interaction, with an accuracy to quadratic terms in the overlap integral.
