Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Atomic Orbitals

33.4K
An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Valence Bond Theory and Hybridized Orbitals

19.1K
According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom, and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair. The strength of a covalent bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals involved. Maximum overlap is possible when the orbitals overlap on a direct line between the two nuclei.
A σ bond (single bond in a Lewis structure) is a covalent bond in which the electron density is...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations are crucial for accurately describing electron correlation but face challenges with periodic systems.
  • Plane-wave basis sets are efficient for periodic systems but too large for direct FCI application.
  • Existing methods like DFT struggle with strongly correlated systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for performing FCI calculations on periodic systems using plane-wave basis sets.
  • To overcome the computational limitations of large plane-wave basis sets in FCI.
  • To accurately model strongly correlated electrons in periodic materials.

Main Methods:

  • An improved correlation-optimized virtual orbital (COVOS) framework was developed.
  • Rotational matrices enhanced the active space, and iterative coupled processes optimized orbitals.
  • The method compressed large plane-wave basis sets into manageable virtual orbitals for FCI.

Main Results:

  • The improved COVOS framework successfully compressed plane-wave basis sets for FCI calculations.
  • Applied to supercell calculations and potential energy curves of metallic systems.
  • Demonstrated superior convergence and correlation description compared to the original COVOS algorithm and other methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm enables accurate FCI calculations with plane-wave basis sets for periodic systems.
  • It addresses limitations of DFT and provides a more reliable description of correlation energy than MP2 or RPA for metallic systems.
  • Highlights the significance of achieving FCI with plane-wave basis sets for materials simulations.
