Properties of condensed spin-aligned atomic hydrogen from variational calculations

1979

The optimal Jastrow-type ground-state wave function of spin-aligned atomic hydrogen is calculated using the pair potential of Kolos and Wolniewicz. The optimization is performed by solving the Euler equation in the hypernetted chain approximation. Accurate energies as well as pair-distribution functions are obtained. The Bose-Einstein condensate fraction is evaluated from the one-particle momentum distribution. The pair distribution function is also used to obtain stability criteria for the system and minimal values for the aligning magnetic field are calculated at low densities. The resulting values of the minimal aligning fields are considerably higher than those obtained previously.

Two-component density-functional theory: Application to positron states.

1985

A quantitative approach to calculating properties of inhomogeneous two-component Coulomb-Fermi systems is presented. As an application, the ground-state electronic structure of a jellium vacancy containing a trapped positron is calculated self-consistently. While the resulting density profiles and energetics are quite different from those obtained neglecting cross correlations, the conventional estimates for the annihilation rates are shown to remain valid, due to canceling effects of the increase in the mean electron density and the decrease in short-range screening.
