any of you guyes know some decent sources for tight-binding (LCAO) theory?
i wish to use the orbitals and the position of the atoms and the angle between the orbitals for calculating the resonance and overlap integrals, but it's hard to find specific sources... so if you happen to know any sources about this i would be very gratefull if you posted a few links...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This is just a guess...There is a large blue book called something like "Atoms and Molecules" by Weissbluth that probably discusses it. I haven't actually read the book, but it seems to cover so much that I'd be surprised if it didn't have something.
 
Quantum Chemistry by John P. Lowe, 2ed, Academic Press. It covers LCAO, SCF, and MO methods in Chapter 11.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
