A perturbation calculation, valid in the limit of large separations, of various properties of the 2 pπ state of HeH 2+ is carried out. The total energy and the kinetic and potential energies are calculated to the fifth order, the dipole moment to the third order and the quadrupole moments to the second order and the results compared with those obtained using exact and variationally determined two-centre wave functions. Some results are also given for the 2 pπ u and 3 dπ g states of H + 2 and the influence of nuclear symmetry at large separations is briefly discussed.


The wave functions for a number of particles in a degenerate oscillator level, classified in part I according to irreducible representations of the group U 3 , are expressed as integrals of the Hill-Wheeler type over intrinsic states. The rotational band structure which appeared in the classification is now understood, since all states of a band are shown to involve the same intrinsic state in the integral. It is possible to use the quantum number K of the intrinsic states as an additional label for the final wave functions, thus distinguishing states which, in the classification of part I, had the same values for all other quantum numbers used. The integral form for the wave functions enables simple expressions to be obtained for the quadrupole moments which resemble those of the rotational model for a permanent deformation.

In this paper a quantum-mechanical variational principle is proposed, in which the functional varied is the precision, with which the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is satisfied by the wave functions of the given class. Another distinctive feature of our approach is that the independently varied functions are the time derivatives of the one-particle wave functions, of which the wave function of the system is constructed.

The importance of major shell mixing in Nilsson's model is discussed with reference to calculations using Nilsson wave functions as a basis set. In particular it is shown that the N-mixing terms play an essential role in shaping the density distribution and are of paramount importance in determining electric quadrupole moments. Our calculations also suggest that for each choice of deformation parameter there is an associated characteristic "shell structure".
