Abstract

The many-electron problem has been studied by many researchers, mainly theoretically. The reason why there have not been many experimental studies is that there have not been adequate tools to measure the total energy of a system. We have succeeded to measure the total energy difference between an ionized molecule and a neutral molecule. This answers the question of how much the correlation energy is. The measured total energy differences between the ionized state and the neutral state are far smaller than those which are calculated, even including the effect of the substrate on which the molecules are supported. This result provides a way of comparing theoretical and experimental values of the correlation energy.
