Abstract

Mixed sets of functions consisting of 1s Slater orbitals and floating spherical Gaussians are proposed as expansion functions for ab initio variational type calculations for small molecules. After the discussion of the basic computational methods the results of some trial calculations for the ground state of the helium atom are presented.

Zusammenfassung

Für ab initio Rechnungen vom Variationstyp werden im Falle kleiner Moleküle gemischte Funktionssätze, die aus 1s Slater-Orbitalen bestehen, vorgeschlagen. Nach einer Diskussion der grundlegenden Rechenmethoden werden die Resultate von einigen Proberechnungen für den Grundzustand des Heliumatoms geschildert.
