Abstract

We study the ground state and the low energy excited states of Ti. Each variational wave function is a product of a Jastrow correlation factor by a model function obtained within the parameterized optimized effective potential (POEP) framework by using a configuration mixing. Near degeneracy effects between the orbitals 4s and 4p, as well as excitations to the 3d orbital due to the strong competition between 4s and 3d orbitals in transition metal atoms are taken into account. All electron calculations have been carried out by using quantum Monte Carlo techniques, variational and diffusion.
