Overview
abstract
A novel ab initio method is applied to a hydrogen atom chain with alternating bond lengths. This entails a cluster expansion approximation of an extended-system effective Hamiltonian, here taken to be of the valence bond or Heisenberg spin-exchange type. Within this approach, evidence is found that the chain remains dimerized over a very wide range of pressures. 1991.
