Atomic Intracules

Select an atom and an intracule, then click on "Show Intracule" to see a plot of the intracule for the ROHF/6-311G wavefunction of that atom.

       

Be Wigner intracule

If we define...

u = |r1r2| is an interelectronic separation in position space

v = |p1p2| is an interelectronic separation in momentum space

... then the intracules are defined thus:

P(u), the position intracule, is the probability density for u

M(v), the momentum intracule, is the probability density for v

W(u,v), the Wigner intracule, is the joint probability density for u and v

A(s), the action intracule, is the probability density for the product s = uv

Further information about these (and other) intracules can be found in:
