Abstract

The restricted Hartree-Fock-Roothaan method with closed and open electronic shells projected by electron density matrices and the quasi-molecular large-unit-cell (LUC) model have been applied to calculate the electronic structure of monovacancy and semivacancy in the neutral charge state in the totally symmetric atomic configuration with relaxation and symmetry-lowering distortions. The difference in the energies of states with total spins of 1 and 3/2 for a neutral monovacancy is determined within the ΔSCF approximation.
