How to Calculate Condensed Matter Electronic Structure Based on Multi-Electron Atom Semi-Classical Model

Abstract

Atoms are proved to be semi-classical electronic systems in the sense of closeness of their exact quantum electron energy spectrum with that calculated within semi-classical approximation. Introduced semi-classical model of atom represents the wave functions of bounded in atom electrons in form of hydrogen-like atomic orbitals with explicitly defined effective charge numbers. The hydrogen-like electron orbitals of constituting condensed matter atoms are used to calculate the matrix elements of the secular equation determining the condensed matter electronic structure in the linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals (LCAO) approach. Preliminary test calculations are conducted for boron B atom and diboron B2 molecule electron systems.
