Abstract
Modulated Murrell-Shaw-Musher-Amos perturbation theory is used in second order to calculate the interaction energy between two ground-state hydrogen atoms in the region of intermediate internuclear separations from 0 to 6 bohr. Using a small set of variationally optimized two-electron functions accounting for the majority of induction and for spherical and dipole contributions to dispersion, fairly accurate results are obtained for the interaction over the whole range of distances including the united atom. A marked reduction in the induction energy is observed in short range when second-order exchange is introduced.
