Born-Oppenheimer potential for H

arXiv:1007.0322 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.032509

Abstract

The Born-Oppenheimer potential for the state of H is obtained in the range of 0.1 -- 20 au, using analytic formulas and recursion relations for two-center two-electron integrals with exponential functions. For small distances James-Coolidge basis is used, while for large distances the Heitler-London functions with arbitrary polynomial in electron variables. In the whole range of internuclear distance about precision is achieved, as an example at the equilibrium distance au the Born-Oppenheimer potential amounts to . Results for the exchange energy verify the formula of Herring and Flicker [Phys. Rev. {\bf 134}, A362 (1964)] for the large internuclear distance asymptotics. The presented analytic approach to Slater integrals opens a window for the high precision calculations in an arbitrary diatomic molecule.
