Localized Orbitals in Polyatomic Systems (II)

Previously we have developed a technique for obtaining the charge density for closed shell solids in their ground state in the Hartree‐Fock approximation by a transformation to local orbitals. Using this first order local orbitals equation we obtain self‐consistent local orbitals for solid argon. We then use symmetry and equivalence restrictions to extend the technique to open shell systems and obtain the local orbitals for aluminum in its ground state.
