Abstract
The crucial importance of correlation effects versus delocalization, and their nature in small Alkali clusters is analysed from an ab-initio point of view through a detailed investigation of the Li2 dimer. The role of the external correlation (provided by extended basis sets and large Configuration Interaction calculations) is shown to lower the energy of ionic configurations and to increase their weight in the electronic wavefunction, increasing simultaneously the importance of delocalization versus internal correlation within the s-band. Effective interactions are determined from accurate diabatic calculations on dimers and transfered to clusters via an effective hamiltonian spanned by s orthogonal orbitals. Although not including explicitely the p-band, this model provides results in good agreement with abinitio calculations on Lithium clusters.
