Explicit formulas over orbitals are given for the correlation energy in triplet electronic states of atoms and molecules. The formulas were obtained by means of the diagrammatic many-body Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory through third order assuming a single determinant restricted Roothaan-Hartree-Fock wave function. A numerical example is presented for the NH molecule.

The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

The correlation energy of finite systems of electrons in a neutralizing spherical positively charged background (jellium) is investigated within various approximations. The correlation energy is defined with respect to the Hartree–Fock energy (with exact treatment of exchange). On one hand, the exact second-order energy contribution is calculated from many-body perturbation theory. On the other hand, a quasi-boson approximation to harmonic order only allows one to estimate the RPA ground-state correlation energy and to emphasize the relative importance of Coulomb-interaction screening corrections (ring diagrams). One finds that the second-order contribution accounts for most of the correlation energy. Comparisons with other approaches, such as density-functional theory and CI calculations, confirm this assertion.
