Previous work relating the dispersion energy to the static form factorsof X-ray scatrering is extended to the pokization energy. For interacting heliumatomswe calculateboth those contributions(krhout recourse to the mulripok expansion), as well as the first order Coulomb and exchange forces. For large separations (R as.0 au), the shape of our potential agrees well with previous. accurate results. Since we use Uns6ld’s approximation, we discuss several choices for the mean excitation energy, s, which is required to put our potential on an absolute scale. A fixed %? suffices for large separations. In the region of overlap, a R-dependent E(R) is needed for accurate determination of the potential.

4. Introduction The calculation of long range intermolecular forces is often treated by second order perturbation theory. Such a calculation must confront the usual difficulty of evaluating the infinite summation and integration over discrete and continuum states. An early method for performing those summations in studies of intermolecular forces was London’s [l]. He used U&M’s [2] method of approximately summing the second order perturbation energy. By also approximating the Coulomb potential by the dipole term alone, London related the dispersion energy to the static polarizability LY,a quantity available from experiment. Despite the clever simplicity and accuracy of his method, it is a dipole approximation and so is limited to small systems. In this paper we continue our earlier work [3] the aim of which is the development of more widely applicable computational methods which nevertheless retain the spirit of London’s theory, namely the use of readily available data to calcuIate long range intermolecular potentials in a simple way. The method used is based on the response-perturbation technique of intermolecular forces. Of importance in this treatment is the charge-density susceptibility, in terms of which the second and higher order terms may be developed. The susceptibility takes account of spatial and temporal correlations; the ordinary polarizability a is independent of spatial variables and may be obtained as a special case from the charge-density susceptibility. The formulation of the interaction energy in terms of the stisceptibility uses the full Coulomb potential, thus avoiding the disadvantages of the multipole expansion, and in particular the limited precision of the dipole approximation. It was shown earlier [3] that the charge-density susceptibility in momentum space is related to generaliied scattering functions and an approximation to the susceptibility is expressible in terms of static form factors. In the case of He it is easy enough to evaluate analytically these form factors and

the interaction energy from self-consistent field wavefunctions and this was done here for convenience. A prescription for evaluating the interaction energy from readily available computed and experimental form factors [4] will be given elsewhere. We calculate the second order dispersion and polarization energies of two He atoms by applying the UnsSId approximation to the susceptibilities. This has the effect of introducing a mean excitation energy for the dispersion energy which is twice that for the polarization energy. It is shown in section 4.2 that the same result can be obtained by applying the Unsiild approximation directly to the energy provided that the energy is first decomposed into its dispersion and polarization parts and the Unsiild approximation is applied to each term separately. Although the polarization energy is small, it is not negtigible at short distances, an observation surprising perhaps to those accustomed only to the dipole approximation for which the polarization energy is zero. We also calcuiate the total potential energy by adding the first order Coulomb and exchange energies to the second order energy. The susceptibility formulation of the problem provides a direct link between intermolecular potentials and scattering phenomena. The development in momentum space allows considerable mathematical simplification and other authors have used the same technique in similar calculations

The Et are the energies of the unperturbed system. Such susceptibilities can be utilized to calculate the free energy of the system. In this paper we will use these quantities to obtain the second order dispersion and polarization energies. Let us consider molecule “a” characterized by susceptibility x.&i, r,, W) and molecule “b” by Xb(rzr r;, w). Let these molecules interact via the Coulomb potential V(rl, rz) =

This expression for the second order dispersion energy describes the interaction of two fluctuating charge distributions. The charge distribution on molecule “a” can also polarize molecule “b”, giving rise to the poIarization energy? (10) The charge distribution on molecule “b” gives a similar contribution polarization energy

to the second order

(11) The total polarization energy is of course the sum of these two contributions E$, (T) = “‘bE~,(T)+b-=E~*(T).

(12)

These formulas for the second order dispersion and polarization contributions are however very difficult to evaluate in concrete calculations due to the infinite summations, including the continuum. In practice we consider only T = 0 which enables us to put n = 0 and s = 0 in eqs. (10) and (ll), and to simplify (8) with lim coth (h&~/2) = 1, 1-O

In order to nse eqs. (24) and (25) we apply Unsiild’s approximzdon [2] to the expression for the susceptibilities, since it is the simpiest and most straightforward approximation. Thus we replace on0 and oSO by mean excitation energies C&Oand &a in the expressions for susceptibilities x1 and xb.

3. Application to the helium-helium interaction In order to use eqs. (34) and (35) for obtaining the second-order dispersion and polarization contributions to the total interaction energy between two helium atoms we must construct the quantities F(k) defined in eq. (28). TO do SO, we need to obtain the first order density matrix v(r]r). In our calculations we have used functions of the general form Y(L2)

energy of two helium atoms at distances from 3 to

15 au. In addition to the calculation of the second-order dispersion and polarization energies based on the formalism presented in section 2 we have also obtained the first-order ener,7 using a standard technique 4.1.

(see section 4.2).

The second-order

energy results

EL&, and E$, have been calculated using the helium functions mentioned in section 3. In Table 1 we present the vatues of the auxiliary integraIs (defined in the appendix) for all terms which appear in the integrals of Wdi,p(k,k’) and W&k, k’) caIcuIated with the j-term Clementi-Roetti function [ll]. For distances greater than 5 au the doubIe-zeta function gives very similar results. Because the value of E is arbitrary, we prefer to deal with the “A” quantities of eqs. (34) and (35). To make some comparison of those quantities with other calculations we can expand the dispersion term in the following

for R greater than 8 au are presented in table 2. The ratio of these coefficients is Cs/ CJC,O = l/9.54/121.66. The ratios C6/Cs/C10 obtained from the results of Maeder and Kutzelnigg [12] are l/9.54/121.64; those from Tang et al. [13] are l/9.53/115.51; and finally those of Luyckx et al. [14] are l/9.64/124.9. The agreement is obviously good. Below 8 au the limited expansion of our results is no longer highly accurate because higher order multipoles are neglected and because the charge densities begin to penetrate each other. Note that we have expanded only A:&, in a multipole series.

For the Hartree-Fock wavefunction I=, = 0.790. We now choose zso that our static polarizability a=,(O) agrees with the experimental value, 1.383 au 1171. We thus obtain hE= 1.145, about 20% higher than EtP, which clearly shows that hELP is not adequate for the polarizability; nor is it adequate for the interaction energy. To see this we determine other values of z by requiring our interaction energy to agree at large R with other, absolute potentials i.e. E=

accurate experimental and theoretical results. Notice that although these six AE values are different they are almost constant within the range of R between 15 and 8 au. For ? au there is a visible increase in these values and for 6 au there is generally a great jump in the magnitude of z. Because of the almost identical values of A~I and A&, for the double-zeta function (see table 2) the mean excitation energies for this function are the same. We now enquire whether the variation in E is due to the inadequacy of the closure approximation, to overlap inter- and intra-corre!ation effects, or short range Coulomb interactions. We do so by comparison with_reliable results for the total interaction potential; we thus need to estimate the total inte-radian energy by augmenting our second order results with first order Coulomb and exchange energies. 4.2.

We have calculated the first-order Coulomb and exchange energies using the Murrell-ShawMusher-Amos [22] perturbation theory. The results are presented in table 5. Because of almost identical results for the double zeta and Hartree-Fock functions we may say that the quality of both functions is the same. Therefore we will limit our discussion to the Hartree-Fock results. We modify (51) to accommodate our first order results. =

In order to investigate those possibilities let us analyze the results collected in table 7. Our total interaction energy listed there was obtained by adding the first-order and second-order contributions with an assumed fixed AE of 1.28 au. One sees that our predicted minimum is too deep and occurs at too short a distance. Also the repulsive part of the potential curve is not steep enough. Obviously in the

region of overlap either the second order contribution is too negative or the first-order contribution is not positive enough, or both. Our first-order results differ from the Murrell and Shaw [23) and Claverie [24] values by about 10%) and from the Murrell and Varandas [25] values by 6%. Correlation can change the first-order energy by approximately 10% [26]; we thus conclude that our first-order energy is accurate to within 20%. This inference seems to be confirmed by the recent studies of Szalewicz and Jeziorski [27]. That possible error in our first-order calculation obviously cannot account for the total discrepancy in the interaction potential. In recent years it has been found that neglect of the penetration of the interacting charge distributions at small distances leads to divergence of the usual multipole expansion of Es&,. A more complete calculation yields a finite dispersion energy at all separations and SO damping functions have been introduced to compensate for the overly large negative values of Eiz, obtained from the multipole expansion [se, 5f, 281. Since we use the full Coulomb potentiai, there is no justification for introducing those damping functions in our work. However, we note that if we use a R-dependent Table 7 Total He-He R

mean excitation energy instead of a fixed one, we can get greatly improved rest&s. The notion of a R-dependent mean excitation energy was first introduced by Dalgarno and Lynn [29] who proposed a mean excitation energy of the following form (see also Kreek and Meath [30]) z(R)

(SSj

= AE(m) + CS(R),

where D(co) is the mean excitation energy at infinite separation, S(R) the overlap integral and C a constant determined empirically by fitting the second order energy to the difference between the experimental [21] and first order energy at a particular R, say R = 5.6 au (the equilibrium distance). We find that for He-He E(R)

S(R).

(56) Table 8 lists the modified potential energy and M(R) obtained by using (56). The results are in excellent agreement with the experimental values of Burgmans et al. [21] as shown in table 7. Comparison of the calculated and experimental curves is shown in fig. 2. Throughout this paper we have applied the Unsold approximation to the charge-density susceptibility. We now proceed to show that this is equivalent to applying the Unsijld approximation directly to the dispersion and polarization energies. To do SO we switch to r-space and using eqs. (13), (14a), (14b), (15a), (lSb), (9) and (7) we obtain (see also ref. [6] section 5)

(57) The first term is the dispersion energy and the last two terms are the polarization energies. Eq. (57) is the formulation for the second order Coulomb energy obtained by Longuet-Higgins [31] on the basis of ordinary time-independent perturbation theory. It is easy to see that by writing the second order Coulomb energy in this fashion the Unsold approximation can be applied separately to each of the terms and when this is done the mean excitation energies for the three terms are respectively Table 8 Modified He-He R 3 4 5 5.6 6 7 s 9

If the Unsijld approximation is applied directly to the second order Coulomb energy without first decomposing it, as is often done, then a single mean excitation energy is obtained which is characteristic of dispersion but inappropriate for polarization. Although we have dwelt at some length on the first order energy and total potential, our main goal and interest has been the development of reliable techniques for treating the second order Coulomb ener,q. The approximation which uses static form factors appears to give a good description of the He-He long range potential. Although we have used analytic expressions for the static form factors and for the integrals involved in eqs. (34) and (35), the same could have been accomplished by using numerical values of F(k) [32]. Indeed the numerical approach becomes more apppealing the more complex the system is. A purely numericai approach circumvents the use of wavefunctions and is independent of the size of the system and the so&e of the scattering functions.
