Abstract

The rigorous application of multiple-scattering theory to contiguous nonoverlapping truncated atomic spheres leads to a molecular-orbital secular determinant which is identical to that solved in the overlapping-sphere SCF-Xα scattered-wave method, except for the subtraction of on-diagonal and off-diagonal terms associated with multiple scattering in the overlap regions. The possible importance and approximate evaluation of these terms as corrections to the overlapping-sphere method are discussed.
