Abstract:
The effectiveness of well-tempered Gaussian basis sets has been tested for the atoms He-Ar, Ag, and Xe. It has been found that orbital exponents optimized through the well-tempered scheme for non-relativistic atoms can be carried over to relativistic calculations to produce wavefunctions close to the relativistic Hartree-Fock limit.
