Abstract
In this work, we compute Shannon entropy, defined in terms of electron density, for three series of atomic ions including the region of nuclear charges close to the limit at which the ionization potential goes to zero. We use both Hartree–Fock (HF) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) densities and we observe a sharp positive deviation of QMC entropy with respect to the HF corresponding value in approaching the limit. We discuss this behaviour taking into account Coulomb correlation, which plays an important role in the weak binding regime.
