Abstract
The radial momentum distribution I o( p) and the Compton profile J o( q) are determined for atomic neon from several restrictid Hartree-Fock (RHF) wavefunctions and two configuration interaction (CI) wavefunctions. The CI functions are the well correlated (full“second-order”) function of Viers, Schaeffer and Harris, and the Ahlrichs-Hinze multi-configuration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) function which includes only L-shell correlation. It is found for this completely closed shell system that the effects of electron correlation are quite small. This contrasts with the results for systems such as Be( 2S) and B( 2P) where the semi-internal and internal correlation effects were responsible for significant discrepancies between the RHF and CI results. These results indicate that a wavefunction which carefully includes the semi-internal, orbital polarization, and internal correlations beyond the RHF wavefunction (i.e., a “first-order” or “charge-density” function), should account for the principal correlation effects on the Compton profiles and momentum distributions.
