This work evaluated the efficiency of the Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method in determining potential energy curves (PECs) for diatomic systems. This evaluation was performed by determining rovibrational spectroscopic constants from PECs obtained for the HeH+ and LiH systems. The trial wave functions used are derived from the Hartree-Fock and MCSCF methods. The method used to calculate the spectroscopic constants was the Discrete Variable Representation (DVR) method. Thus, the PECs generated from the DMC produced the best results, being very close to the experimental results. Thus, the DMC method proved to be more efficient than the other methods used (MCSCF and CCSD(T)). The results obtained in this study indicate that the DMC-DVR methodology has a great potential to become a reference in the determination of spectroscopic properties.

We present recent results from a diffusion Monte Carlo study of small 3 He drops in the limit of zero temperature. Using the same methodology than in previous calculations carried out for bulk 3 He , we have obtained accurate results for their energy and structure properties. A relevant concern of this analysis has been the determination of the stability threshold for self binding. Our results show that the smallest self-bound drop is formed by N = 30 atoms, with preferred orbitals for open shells corresponding to maximum value of the spin. The quality of the upper bound energies provided by the fixed node approximation is analyzed by performing released-node estimations for short released times. Possible improvements of the nodal surface by including BCS-like correlation functions are also discussed.
