Figure 4
Spin-traced 1-RDM contour maps for two different segments [as the 1-RDM is a six-variable function, no convenient graphical representation exists apart from restricting the variation of the two position vectors of along a path]. For each segment, the position vectors (horizontal axis) and (vertical axis) are restricted to vary along the segment. Upper panel: along the O—C—O bonding. Lower panel: along a segment parallel and 1 a.u. away from the O—C—O bonding. Left column: inferred from position and momentum space expectation values. Right column: periodic ab initio computation. Contours at intervals of ±0.01 × 2n a.u.−3 (n = 0–20): positive and negative contours are blue solid lines and red dashed lines, respectively. |
