Abstract

A new method of replacing core electrons by effective potentials is described. In this approach one assures that (a) the long-range shape of the valence orbital and (b) the average valence-valence part of the SCF Hamiltonians are both unchanged. The resulting Shape and Hamiltonian Consistent (SHC) potentials are reported for Mg, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl. These potentials lead to more accurate descriptions of molecular wave functions.
