The r. m. s. radius and the binding energy of oxygen 16 are calculated for several different internueleon potentials. These potentials all fit the low-energy data for two nucleons, they have hard cores of differing radii, and they include the Gammel-Thaler potential (core radius 0·4 fermi). The calculated r. m. s. radii range from 1·5 f for a potential with core radius 0·2 f to 2·0 f for a core radius 0·6 f. The value obtained from electron scattering experiments is 2·65 f. The calculated binding energies range from 256 MeV for a core radius 0·2 f to 118 MeV for core 0·5 f. The experimental value of binding energy is 127·3 MeV. The 25% discrepancy in the calculated r. m. s. radius may be due to the limitations of harmonic oscillator wave functions used in the unperturbed system.

Abstract We study a heavy-heavy-light three-body system confined to one space dimension in the regime where an excited state in the heavy-light subsystems becomes weakly bound. The associated two-body system is characterized by (i) the structure of the weakly-bound excited heavy-light state and (ii) the presence of deeply-bound heavy-light states. The consequences of these aspects for the behavior of the three-body system are analyzed. We find a strong indication for universal behavior of both three-body binding energies and wave functions for different weakly-bound excited states in the heavy-light subsystems.

Low-energy pion photoproduction off 6Li, 10B, and 14N has been reinvestigated in a DWIA framework that includes a number of improvements neglected in previous analyses. The production operator is based on Feynman diagrams and includes correction terms of order p2/M2 and higher. An s-channel delta resonance term is included with both longitudinal and transverse electromagnetic couplings. Rather than using on harmonic oscillator for the nucleon orbitals we employ Woods–Saxon wave functions that have been adjusted to fit electron-scattering form factors and single-particle binding energies. Furthermore, we include the Coulomb potential without approximation in our momentum-space approach. Using more realistic wave functions and including corrections to the production amplitude that have been neglected before leads to considerable improvement in the case of 10B and 14N when compared with existing data. The Coulomb effects are shown to change the cross section by about 30% close to threshold but are negligible at higher energies.

We have calculated the binding energies of 4He and 3H with soft- and hard-core nucleon–nucleon potentials. With central forces, using harmonic-oscillator wave functions, we find that accurate results can be obtained by taking only the long-range part of the potential and its second-order perturbative term. When tensor forces are present, the long-range interference term is also included in the calculation. In this case, the method is not accurate and underbinds these nuclei by about 1 MeV per particle. Ignoring Coulomb forces, our method yields a value of 18.5 MeV for the binding energy of 4He with the Hamada–Johnston potential.

Double-Core Hole (DCH) states of small molecules are assessed with the restricted<br>active space self-consistent field (RASSCF) and multi-state restricted active space perturbation<br>theory of second order (MS-RASPT2) approximations. To ensure an unbiased<br>description of the relaxation and correlation effects on the DCH states, the neutral<br>ground state and DCH wave functions are optimized separately, whereas the spectral<br>intensities are computed with a biorthonormalized set of molecular orbitals within the<br>state-interaction (SI) approximation. Accurate shake-up satellites binding energies and<br>intensities of double-core-ionized states (K<sup>-2</sup>) are obtained for H<sub>2</sub>O, N<sub>2</sub>, CO and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2n</sub><br>(n=1–3). The results are analyzed in details and show excellent agreement with recent<br>experimental data.


The results reported in this paper constitute a first examination of the use of Gaussian wave functions with correlation as approximations to electronic wave functions. Functions of the form Σ k = n k =1 C k exp ( – Q k ), where C k is a constant and Q k is a quadratic form corresponding to orbitals with cylindrical symmetry, variable centres and with correlation, are used for the hydrogen molecule. Binding energies of 4∙30, 4∙42, 4∙52 and 4∙58 eV are obtained with functions containing, respectively, 26, 35, 53 and 71 independent parameters. The accuracy of the results and the moderate computing times suggest that there is considerable scope for wave functions of this type. For the hydrogen atom, approximations to the 1 s -orbital in terms of Σ k = n k =1 C k exp ( – a k r 2 ) are given for n = 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

ABSTRACTA large class of new layered semiconductors — lead iodide compounds — is of great interest because of possible optoelectronic applications due to pronounced excitonic effects. These compounds may be regarded as naturally grown semiconductor/insulator superlat-tices, with perovskite lead iodide (semiconductor) layers sandwiched by alkylammonium (insulator) layers. Exciton binding energies and oscillator strength in these structures are enhanced due to the so-called “dielectric confinement” caused by large difference between dielectric constants of adjoining layers. The binding energies, wave functions,& diamagnetic coefficient of excitons in these naturally grown superlattices are calculated with allowance for the image potential and the superlattice structure of the compounds. The localization of excitons in lead iodide layers causes also a strong dependence of a polariton spike in reflection spectra on the polarization of electromagnetic wave. The results obtained are in agreement with the experimental data.
