The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

We develop the Nuclear Schwinger–Dyson (NSD) formalism to include the effects of ladder diagrams by modifying the vertex. In this extension, the NSD equation sums up both ring diagrams and ladder diagrams self-consistently. The results are compared with mean field theory, Hartree Fock and bare-vertex NSD calculations. It is shown that the vertex correction is important from the following viewpoints. First, the vertex correction greatly modifies the meson propagators, and we can avoid the ghost-pole from meson propagators in a self-consistent way. Secondly, it gives a large negative correlation-energy compared with the other calculations; as a result, it gives a softer equation of state which is preferable according to the experimental data.

The quadrupole polarizability and Sternheimer antishielding factor have been calculated for selected closed-shell atoms and ions using the density functional theory. In most cases, the results agree favourably with coupled Hartree–Fock calculations. However, for atoms with valence (d-shells the local density approximation used in the calculations is found to be inadequate. Our results suggest that refinements to the exchange-correlation energy functional are required in order to obtain accurate values for the polarizability and shielding factor of (d-shell atoms within a density functional approach.

The singlet–triplet (a1Δ–X3Σ−) intercombination separations for NH, OH +, PH, and SH + are predicted to be 1.63, 2.19, 0.95, and 1.16 eV, respectively. These predictions are expected to be good to ~0.1 eV and are based on a quantitative model of the relationship of the united atom and the diatomic hydride, AH. The intercombination separations as calculated via Hartree–Fock energies are corrected for the "change in correlation energy" involved in the transition making use of united-atom changes in the correlation energy.

To reduce the computation cost of Configuration Interaction (CI) method, a new technique is used to calculate the coefficients of doubly excited determinants directly from orbital energies, orbital overlap matrix and electron population obtained from Hartree Fock level run. This approach to approximate the coefficients of CI wave function is termed as <b>transition probability approximated CI (TPA-CI).</b> In principle, calculated dynamical electron correlation energy of TPA-CI and Full CI (FCI) are equivalent. It is observed that computed TPA-CI correlation energies of hydrogen, water, ammonia and ozone are very close to FCI values, within 5% error. The potential energy curve of the hydrogen molecule is also studied and it is found that the energy is minimum at its equilibrium bond length.<br><br>
