Properties of Molecular Electron Density Functionals

Abstract

Properties of molecular electron density functionals are studied. The Kohn potential can be considered as the potential density of the system′s particles whose integration gives the energy of the molecule′s quantum state. Unambiguous expressions for molecular electron energies are obtained in the form of the Kohn potential integrals using a simplified wave density model based on the nuclear wave density isolation. A one-electron Schrödinger equation with an effective potential for calculating molecular orbitals is presented. The equation can be used to calculate 3D electron density of molecules in ground and excited states.
