Analysis of correlation and ionization from pair distributions in many-electron systems López Rosa, Sheila Angulo Ibáñez, Juan Carlos Martín, A. L. Antolín Coma, Juan Antonio This work was supported in part by the Spanish MINECO project FIS2014-59311-P (cofinanced by FEDER). A.L.M., J.C.A. and J.A. belong to the Andalusian research group FQM-020, and S.L.R. to FQM-239. Jensen–Shannon divergence is used to quantify the discrepancy between the Hartree–Fock pair density and the product of its marginals for different N-electron systems, enclosing neutral atoms (with nuclear charge Z = N) and singly-charged ions (N = Z ±1). This divergence measure is applied to determine the interelectronic correlation in atomic systems. A thorough study was carried out, by considering (i) both position and momentum conjugated spaces, and (ii) systems with a nuclear charge as far as Z = 103. The correlation among electrons was measured by comparing, for an arbitrary system, the double-variable electron-pair density with the product of the respective one-particle densities. A detailed analysis throughout the Periodic Table highlights the relevance not only of weightiness for the systems considered, but also of their shell structure. Besides, comparative computations between two-electron densities of different atomic systems (neutrals, cations, anions) quantify their dissimilarities, patently governed by shell-filling patterns throughout the Periodic Table. 2021-09-23T07:17:19Z 2021-09-23T07:17:19Z 2021-07-22 journal article López-Rosa, S...
