Variational approach to inhomogeneous electron liquids: Application to metallic hydrogen

摘要: A variational approach is developed to treat inhomogeneous electron liquids at metallic densities using a correlated wave function. The single-particle part of the function obtained by band calculation with aid suitable effective one-particle potential. Many-body correlations are accounted for correlation factor Jastrow form. Chakravarty-Woo hierarchy integral equations derived and solved distribution (density function) pair results used evaluate energy. method applied static lattice model hydrogen. Calculations performed different formalism density-functional methods. Comparison also made calculations techniques.
