Roothaan equationsThe Roothaan equations are a representation of the Hartree-Fock equation in a non orthonormal basis set which can be of Gaussian-type or Slater-type. It applies to closed-shell molecules or atoms where all molecular orbitals or atomic orbitals, respectively, are doubly occupied. This is generally called Restricted Hartree-Fock theory. Additional recommended knowledgeThe method was developed independently by Clemens C. J. Roothaan and George G. Hall in 1951, and is thus sometimes called the Roothaan-Hall equations. [1] [2] [3] The Roothaan equations can be written in the form of generalized eigenvalue problem Where F is the so-called Fock matrix, C is a matrix of coefficients, S is the overlap matrix of the basis functions, and ε is the (diagonal, by convention) matrix of orbital energies. In the case of an orthonormalised basis set the overlap matrix, S, reduces to the identity matrix. See alsoReferences |
