| Abstract: | The Breit interaction consists of two interactions of the magnetic and the retardation terms. The molecular integrals involving the former interaction are shown to be reduced to the familiar integrals of the Coulomb repulsion. The integrals involving the latter interaction are formulated over the Laguerre Gaussian-type functions and some advantages of the formulation are discussed. Bayman's gradient formula of the solid spherical harmonic is generalized to include the gradient of the homogeneous solid spherical harmonic. |
