Abstract
The accuracy of the Faddeev random phase approximation (FRPA) method is tested by evaluating total and ionization energies in the basis-set limit. A set of light atoms up to Ar is considered. Comparisons are made with the results of coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD), with third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction [ADC(3)], and with the experiment. It is seen that even for two-electron systems, He and Be2 +, the inclusion of RPA effects leads to satisfactory results, and therefore it does not overcorrelate the ground state. The FRPA becomes progressively better for larger atomic numbers, where it gives ≈5 mH more correlation energy, and it shifts ionization potentials by 2-10 mH with respect to the similar ADC(3) method. The ionization potentials from FRPA tend to reduce the discrepancies with the experiment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
