Atomic and molecular calculations with the model potential method. IV

Abstract

Results of model potential calculations are reported for the ground state of transition metal elements, Sc through Zn. We also present satisfactory results of calculations on both the ground and selected excited states of Fe, Fe++, Ni, and Ni++ with the model potential method. The model potentials were constructed to replace the 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 core, and also the 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 core, thus including 3p electrons as the ’’valence’’ electrons.
