Kinetic energy analysis of atomic multiplets. II. smdn configurations
A kinetic energy analysis of total energy differences in 822 atomic multiplets arising from smdn (m = 0,1,2; n = 2–8) electronic configurations is performed within the nonrelativistic, restricted Hartree–Fock framework. For the 444 multiplets arising from the dn and s2dn configurations of 27 atoms in groups 2–10, a very good linear correlation between the total energy difference and the kinetic energy difference of the outermost d-electrons is demonstrated. For the 378 multiplets arising from the sdn configuration, on the other hand, a good linear correlation is obtained provided that the multiplets are classified into groups based on spin multiplicity. Key words: kinetic energy, atomic multiplets, smdn configurations, Hartree–Fock approximation.
