Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The Hartree-Fock procedure combined with many body perturbation theory has been used to investigate the electronic structures and associated properties of DNA systems and their corresponding muonium (Mu) adducts, as well as oxyhaemoglobin (HbO2).

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The variational Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HF) method with correlation corrections introduced through Many Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) and the variational Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been investigated for atomic systems to provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each variational approach to solving the multicenter many-electron Hamiltonian. The HF+MBPT method, having been found to be more reliable and physically relevant from the atomic investigations, is used to investigate the electronic structures and associated properties of the BF3*NH3 molecular complex, and through cluster methods, the most likely locations of the transitional metal impurities V2+, Cr+, Mn2+ and Mn0 in Silicon.
