New scalar-relativistic Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials are introduced for main-group elements, enhancing quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations. These pseudopotentials show excellent accuracy and transferability for molecular properties and atomic spectra.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Atomic and Molecular Physics

Background:

  • Accurate electronic structure calculations are crucial for understanding molecular and atomic properties.
  • Pseudopotentials simplify calculations by replacing core electrons, but their accuracy and suitability for methods like Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) can vary.
  • Existing pseudopotentials may have limitations, such as singularities at the nucleus, hindering their application in certain advanced computational methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel scalar-relativistic, energy-consistent Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials for main-group elements.
  • To ensure these pseudopotentials are free from nuclear singularities, making them suitable for Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations.
  • To present optimized valence basis sets tailored for these new pseudopotentials.
