Notes:
The half-projected Hartree-Fock function (HPHF) for singlet states is defined as a linear combination of two Slater determinants, which contains only spin eigenfunctions with even quantum number. Using a self-consistent procedure based on the generalized Brillouin's theorem, the RHF, HPHF and PHF functions are deduced for the ground states of the Li-, Be, B+, and C2+ systems, in a limited basis set. It is found that the HPHF function yields better energy values than the RHF function, very close to that of the PHF one. The HPHF scheme seems thus to be useful as a substitute for the PHF model, specially in the case of large electronic systems in which the latter method becomes unmanageable.
