Ground and excited state properties of many body energies in Li~ § F-ions were examined at two levels of ab initio theory. The effect of basis set size at configurations specified by two angular variables was tested. The ions in the excited state lattice were found to be more bound than those in the ground state. Discrepancies were observed between the minimal and extended basis set for describing the multibody expansions. Although the ground state V(m, n) terms at m = n 1> 3 were negligible, the excited state V(m, n) terms at m = n ~> 3 were not negligible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
