Calculations of finite atomic clusters based on the Hartree-Fock self-consistent field theory are modified to model more closely the ideal behavior of the infinite system. The density matrix of the standard finite supercell calculation is extrapolated to an infinite supercell so that it contains information from a continuum of k points in the first Brillouin zone. This modification is incorporated into the self-consistency loop of the MOPAC quantum chemistry program and leads to improved results compared to a standard finite supercell calculation. Heats of formation, bond lenghts, and electronic properties converge more quickly to the correct ground-state values. For polyacetylene, we obtain a reduced bond-length alternation of Δr = 0.084 Å, which is in agreement with more sophisticated calculations containing electron correlation effects. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
