In computational chemistry, post-Hartree–Fock methods are the set of methods developed to improve on the Hartree–Fock (HF), or self-consistent field (SCF) method. They add electron correlation which is a more accurate way of including the repulsions between electrons than in the Hartree–Fock method where repulsions are only averaged. In general, the SCF procedure makes several assumptions about the nature of the multi-body Schrödinger equation and its set of solutions: * The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is inherently assumed. The true wavefunction should also be a function of the coordinates of each of the nuclei. * Typically, relativistic effects are completely neglected. The momentum operator is assumed to be completely nonrelativistic. * The basis set is composed of a finite number of orthogonal functions. The true wavefunction is a linear combination of functions from a complete (infinite) basis set. * The energy eigenfunctions are assumed to be products of one-electron wavefunctions. The effects of electron correlation, beyond that of exchange energy resulting from the anti-symmetrization of the wavefunction, are completely neglected. For the great majority of systems under study, in particular for excited states and processes such as molecular dissociation reactions, the fourth item is by far the most important. As a result, the term ''post-Hartree–Fock method'' is typically used for methods of approximating the electron correlation of a system. Usually, post-Hartree–Fock methods give more accurate results than Hartree–Fock calculations, although the added accuracy comes with the price of added computational cost. == Post-Hartree–Fock methods == * Configuration interaction (CI) * Coupled cluster (CC) * Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2, MP3, MP4, etc.) * Quadratic configuration interaction (QCI) * Quantum chemistry composite methods (G2, G3, CBS, T1. etc.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Post-Hartree–Fock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
