A combination of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory and variational techniques, previously used to calculate the wave functions of the lowest σ and π states of H2+ has been applied to the 1sσ and 2pπ states of HeH++. The accuracy of the resulting approximate wave functions is demonstrated by comparing a number of quantities calculated with them with the corresponding exact values.

Schrödinger Perturbation

Properties of the lowest even and odd δ states of the hydrogen molecule–ion have been calculated using approximate wave functions. These were derived using a combination of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory and variational methods, which have been applied previously to calculate the corresponding wave functions of the lowest σ and π states. Our total molecular energies are in excellent agreement with the recent exact calculations of Hunter and Pritchard (1967). A simple criterion is suggested for judging the accuracy of the approximate orbitals, which indicates that all the molecular properties calculated will be accurate over a wide range of internuclear separations.

Dependent Interaction

Singular repulsive barrier [Formula: see text] inside a square-well is interpreted and studied as a linear analog of the state-dependent interaction [Formula: see text] in nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In the linearized case, Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory is shown to provide a closed-form spectrum at sufficiently small [Formula: see text] or after an amendment of the unperturbed Hamiltonian. At any spike strength [Formula: see text], the model remains solvable numerically, by the matching of wave functions. Analytically, the singularity is shown regularized via the change of variables [Formula: see text] which interchanges the roles of the asymptotic and central boundary conditions.

Previous ideas about the way in which hypervirial theorems might be used to improve approximate wave functions are discussed. To provide a firmer foundation for these ideas, a link is established between hypervirial theorems and perturbation theory. It is proved that if the first-order perturbation correction to the expectation value of an arbitrary operator vanishes, then the approximate wave function used satisfies a certain hypervirial theorem. Conversely, if an arbitrary hypervirial theorem is satisfied by the wave function, then it is proved that the expectation values of certain operators have vanishing first-order corrections. Some consequences of the theory as applied to variational wave functions with optimum energy are developed. The results are illustrated by the use of a simple approximate wave function for the ground state of the helium atom.

The techniques of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory and variational methods have been used to obtain an approximate molecular wave function for the lowest δ state of the HeH++ ion. Its accuracy may be judged by a simple criterion proposed in an earlier paper, and molecular properties computed using it should have high accuracy. The main conclusions of this series of papers are reviewed briefly.

Approximate Wave

The calculation of approximate wave functions describing autoionizing resonances is formulated in terms of Hylleraas-Scherr-Knight 1/ Z expansion perturbation theory. The optimization of a screening parameter is discussed and it is shown that erroneous results may be obtained if the screening parameter is improperly chosen. The solution is expanded in a finite, correlated basis set and results obtained for the 2s2p 1 P and 3 P resonances of the helium isoelectronic sequence. The 1/ Z expansion method uniquely identifies which of the N roots arising from the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in an N dimensional basis set corresponds to a particular autoionizing state.

Simple analytic representations of the wave functions of the lowest even and odd σ states of H2+ have been obtained using perturbation theory. Their accuracy is demonstrated by comparing the values of a number of molecular quantities computed using the approximate functions with the corresponding exact values.
