The SCF-Xα-scattered wave method (Xα-SW) as well as other versions of the density function approach cannot give a proper description of the open-shell many-electron energy levels and thus it is not always possible to reproduce electron spectra adequately by this method. We propose the following way to overcome this drawback of the X α-SW method. First one- and two-particle molecular integrals with Xα-SW molecular orbitals (MO) are calculated numerically. Then these integrals are used to evaluate Hamiltonian matrix elements (both diagonal and off-diagonal) in the basis of configuration state functions. The present scheme allows us to describe molecular electronic spectra in various approximations: a) one-configurational frozen orbitals approach; b) ΔSCF; c) configuration interaction (CI). Our method gives an opportunity to go beyond the muffin-tin (MT) approximation for a potential; inherent in the X α-SW method. In the X α-SW-MO basis it is simple enough to construct the full electron Hamiltonian matrix elements for various open-shell systems.

Recent theoretical work has shown that the complete set of polarized elastic light-scattering studies should yield information about scatterer structure that has so far hardly been utilized. We present here calculations of angular dependences of light-scattering matrix elements for spheres near the Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Gans-Debye limits. The significance of single matrix elements is documented on examples that show how different matrix elements respond to changes in particle parameters. It appears that in the small-particle limit (Rg/λ < 0.1) we do not loose much information by ignoring "large particle" observables.
