Abstract
In the framework of the Born-Oppenheimer separation (§7.1), once that the electronic state has been described and the eigenvalue E e (R) and wavefunction φ e (r,R) have been found, then the motions of the nuclei are described by a function φ (g) ν (R), where g represents the quantum label for the electrons and ν are the quantum numbers (to be found) for the nuclei. This wavefunction is solution of the Equation
(note that V nn in Eq. 7.3 and 7.5 has been included in E e (R), see for example Eq. 8.1).
