β¦ Synopsis
A linear scaling of the number of nonzero integrals in extended systems calculations and the solution of the difficult cutoff threshold problems in the integral evaluation of periodic HF computations could be solved by the usage of orbitals with a finite extension. The present work proposes the usage of Box orbitals, defined inside Ε½ q . spheres centered on the nuclei. Preliminary tests on small systems atoms and H were 2 performed. The results are very encouraging, since, in most cases, the Box orbitals give Ε½ . better results giving results of equivalent quality in the worse cases than do the classical Gaussian orbitals. No spurious effects were encountered.
