Abstract

Applications of the Dirac Slater model to obtain relativistic energy levels and wave functions for molecules are reported. Results are presented for the uranyl ion UO2+2, calculated by a discrete-variational method using numerical free-atom basis functions. A simple moment polarized generalization of the Slater exchange potential is proposed for treating open-shell systems; results for a 5d atom are compared with corresponding nonrelativistic spin-polarized states.
