Abstract
Synopsis
The Hartree-Fock equations are solved using B-splines. Convergence of self-consistency iterations is achieved by turning on the electron interaction gradually. We test the ground and excited-state sets for atoms and an electron gas confined in a harmonic potential and the jellium model of alkali-metal clusters. Comparisons are made with the Thomas-Fermi approximation and dipole polarizabilities are found and compared with experiment.
