Electron Correlation in Small Molecules and the Configuration Interaction Method

  • Peter J. Knowles
Chapter

Abstract

These lectures are concerned with the quantum chemistry of small molecules, and the techniques which are applicable for the calculation of molecular properties. Throughout, the emphasis will be on attaining the highest possible accuracy for rather small systems, typically with up to about six atoms or around 10 to 20 valence electrons.

Keywords
