Variational Monte Carlo estimation of the dissociation energy of CuH using correlated sampling
(Brock University, 1994-07-09)A new approach to treating large Z systems by quantum Monte Carlo has been developed. It naturally leads to notion of the 'valence energy'. Possibilities of the new approach has been explored by optimizing the wave ... -
