Post–Hartree–Fock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Post-Hartree-Fock methods)

In computational chemistry, post–Hartree–Fock[1][2] (post-HF) methods are the set of methods developed to improve on the Hartree–Fock (HF), or self-consistent field (SCF) method. They add electron correlation which is a more accurate way of including the repulsions between electrons than in the Hartree–Fock method where repulsions are only averaged.

Details

[edit]

In general, the SCF procedure makes several assumptions about the nature of the multi-body Schrödinger equation and its set of solutions:

For the great majority of systems under study, in particular for excited states and processes such as molecular dissociation reactions, the fourth item is by far the most important. As a result, the term post–Hartree–Fock method is typically used for methods of approximating the electron correlation of a system.

Usually, post–Hartree–Fock methods[3][4] give more accurate results than Hartree–Fock calculations, although the added accuracy comes with the price of added computational cost.

Post–Hartree–Fock methods

[edit]

Methods that use more than one determinant are not strictly post–Hartree–Fock methods, as they use a single determinant as reference, but they often use similar perturbation, or configuration interaction methods to improve the description of electron correlation. These methods include:
