Quantum Chemical Calculations on Positronic Systems

  • Chapter
Explicitly Correlated Wave Functions in Chemistry and Physics

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 13))

Abstract

The positron, which existence has been foreseen by Dirac theory and his invariant wave equation [1], is the antiparticle of the electron, with the mass and spin equal to those of the electron, but with the opposite (positive) charge. The particle itself has been detected in the cosmic rays by Anderson [2] in 1933, whereas in 1946 Wheeler predicted the possibility of the stability of positronic complex systems [3]. These systems decay by annihilation and are not easily accessible to the observation due to their short lifetimes (typically not exceeding 1 ns). They appeared to be a real challenge for the standard methods of computational quantum chemistry.
