We investigate the possible angular momentum, l, dependence of the ground state energy of normal liquid 3 He . The method of lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) which includes the three-body cluster energy and normalization constraint (LOCVE) is used with angular momentum dependent two-body correlation functions. A functional minimization is performed with respect to each l-channel correlation function. It is shown that this dependence increases the binding energy of liquid 3 He by 8% with respect to calculations without angular momentum dependent correlation functions. The l=0 state has completely different behavior with respect to other l-channels. It is also found that the main contribution from potential energy comes from the l=1 state (p-waves) and the effect of l≥11 is less than about 0.1%. The effective interactions and two-body correlations in different channels are being discussed. Finally we conclude that this l-dependence can be verified experimentally by looking into the magnetization properties of liquid helium 3 and interatomic potentials.

Abstract Non-relativistic Helium-like ions (−e, −e, Ze) with static nucleus in a d−dimensional space (d > 1) are considered. Assuming r−1Coulomb interactions, a 2-parametric correlated Hylleraas-type trial function is used to calculate the ground state energy of the system in the domain Z ≤ 10. For odd d = 3, 5, the variational energy is given by a rational algebraic function of the variational parameters whilst for even d = 2, 4 it is shown for the first time that it corresponds to a more complicated non-algebraic expression. This twofold analyticity will hold for any d. It allows us to construct reasonably accurate approximate solutions for the ground state energy E0(Z, d) in the form of compact analytical expressions. We call them generalized Majorana solutions. They reproduce the first leading terms in the celebrated 1Z expansion, and serve as generating functions for certain correlation-dependent properties. The (first) critical charge Zc vs d and the Shannon entropy S(d)r vs Z are also calculated within the present variational approach. In the light of these results, for the physically important case d = 3 a more general 3-parametric correlated Hylleraas-type trial is used to compute the finite mass effects in the Majorana solution for a three-body Coulomb system with arbitrary charges and masses. It admits a straightforward generalization to any d as well. Concrete results for the systems e− e− e+, H+2 and H− are indicated explicitly. Our variational analytical results are in excellent agreement with the exact numerical values reported in the literature.

The variational method in oscillator representation with individual parameters for each Jacobi coordinate is applied to the non-relativistic calculation of the ground state energy of a number of three-particle Coulomb systems, consisting of two identical particles and a different one. The accuracy and convergence rate of the calculations in the constructed oscillator basis are studied up to a total of 28 oscillator quanta. The results are compared with those of the traditional approach using only one such nonlinear variational parameter. The method with individual parameters for Jacobi coordinates is found to possess a number of advantages as compared to the traditional approach.

Hyperspherical harmonics expansion (HHE) method has been applied to study the structure and ΛΛ dynamics for the ground and first excited states of low and medium mass double-Λ hypernuclei in the framework of core+Λ+Λ three-body model. The ΛΛ potential is chosen phenomenologically while core-Λ potential is obtained by folding the phenomenological Λ N interaction into the density distribution of the core. The parameters of this effective Λ N potential is obtained by the condition that they reproduce the experimental (or empirical) data for core-Λ subsystem. The three-body (core+Λ+Λ) Schrödinger equation is solved by hyperspherical adiabatic approximation (HAA) to get the ground state energy and wave function. This ground state energy and wave function are used to construct a partner potential. The three-body Schrödinger equation is solved once again for this partner potential. According to supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the ground state energy of this potential is exactly the same as that of the first excited state of the potential used in the first step. In addition to the two-Λ separation energy for the ground and first excited state, some geometrical quantities for the ground state of double-Λ hypernuclei [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are computed. These include the ΛΛ bond energy and various r.m.s. radii.

AbstractThe connection between interatomic potentials and structure functions of liquids is studied. The expressions for two- and three-body potentials are obtained. The contribution of three-body effects is found to be significant, reaching several per cent of the ground-state energy.
