Abstract
An algorithm for the variational calculation of atomic D states employing n-electron explicitly correlated gaussians is developed and implemented. The algorithm includes formulas for the first derivatives of the hamiltonian and overlap matrix elements determined with respect to the gaussian nonlinear exponential parameters. The derivatives are used to form the energy gradient which is employed in the variational energy minimization. The algorithm is tested in the calculations of the two lowest D states of the lithium and beryllium atoms. For the lowest D state of Li the present result is lower than the best previously reported result.
