Erratum: “Comparative study of He_3, Ne_3, and Ar_3 using hyperspherical coordinates” [J. Chem. Phys. 113, 2145 (2000)]

摘要

The code that was used to calculate the structural properties based on the coupled-adiabatic-channel approach shown in Figs. 5(b) and 8 of Ref. 1 has been found to contain a mistake. None of the other results presented in Ref. 1 was affected by this mistake. Figure 1 shows the revised Fig. 5(b) for the Ne trimer. The corrected fixed-R expectation values for the bond angle show less structure than those shown in Fig. 5(b) of Ref. 1. The averaged expectation values (horizontal lines on the right-hand side of the figure) are essentially unchanged. The mistake introduced an appreciable error in the structural properties shown in Fig. 8 of Ref. 1 for the first excited state of the He trimer but only a tiny error in the structural properties for the ground state of the He trimer. Figure 2 shows the corrected pair and cosine distributions for the ground state (solid lines) and the excited state (dotted lines). Figure 3 shows the pair distribution function for the excited He trimer state on an enlarged scale.
