Correlation Coefficients for Electronic Wave Functions
Correlation Coefficients for Electronic Wave Functions is a scholarly work, published in 1968 in ''Physical Review''. The main subjects of the publication include electron, wave function, correlation function, physics, correlation, Electronic correlation, excited state, radial distribution function, quantum mechanics, correlation integral, density functional theory, low-energy electron diffraction, computational chemistry, correlation coefficient, Total correlation, atomic physics, and statistical physics. Numerical examples show that the correlation coefficients for atoms are of the order of -0.05, suggesting that the correlation is usually small and negative, as compared with \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1 for "perfect" correlation.
