- nuclear_attraction(la, lb, ra, rb, alpha, beta, r)[source]¶
Compute nuclear attraction integral between primitive Gaussian functions.
The nuclear attraction integral between two Gaussian functions denoted by \(a\) and \(b\) can be computed as [Helgaker (1995) p820]
\[V_{ab} = \frac{2\pi}{p} \sum_{tuv} E_t^{ij} E_u^{kl} E_v^{mn} R_{tuv},\]where \(E\) and \(R\) represent the Hermite Gaussian expansion coefficients and the Hermite Coulomb integral, respectively. The sum goes over \(i + j + 1\), \(k + l + 1\) and \(m + n + 1\) for \(t\), \(u\) and \(v\), respectively, and \(p\) is computed from the exponents of the two Gaussian functions as \(p = \alpha + \beta\).
