Quantum Chemistry: Restricted Hartree-Fock SCF Calculations Using Microsoft Excel
Abstract
Programs that facilitate ab initio calculations can relegate the underlying SCF procedure (usually coupled with contracted Gaussian atomic orbital basis sets) to a ‘black box.’ This paper attempts to rectify this situation with a spreadsheet that contains all the essential elements of far more complicated ab initio calculations, but on the simplest possible molecular system.
