Abstract All the harmonic, the diagonal cubic and quartic stretching and the semidiagonal cubic force constants of HCP have been calculated from Hartree-Fock wavefunctions by the force method of Pulay. The force constants are in good agreement with the experimental ones, except for FRR, Faa, FRr, FRaa, and Fraa the latter two being rather uncertain from experiment. From the harmonic force constants, harmonic frequencies have been calculated by the method of Wilson and Eliashevich. The equilibrium geometry of HCP has been calculated by the force relaxation method of Pulay.


The periodic ab initio Hartree-Fock approach is applied to the Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca and Mn oxides, and to Al 2 O 3 (corundum) and SiO 2 (a-quartz). A local basis set (‘atomic orbitals’) is used. The equilibrium geometry, the formation energy and the bulk modulus are calculated, with reasonable agreement with experiment. The influence of the environment on the oxygen ions is discussed through the Mulliken population and band structure data.

The Hartree–Fock wave functions for the ground state of the H2 molecule and the H+3 molecular ion are computed using radial orbitals that are numerically optimized. It is shown that these orbitals yield results comparable in accuracy to those obtained using much larger bases of Gaussian orbitals. As in previous calculations, the equilibrium geometry for H+3 is found to be that of an equilateral triangle, with an interatomic spacing of 1.64a0. PACS No.: 13.15+q

The dissociation energies of second and third period hydrides have been estimated by fitting a Morse potential to the harmonic and cubic stretching force constants computed from abinitio wavefunctions. The estimates thus obtained are superior to dissociation energies computed by direct differences of Hartree–Fock energies.
