Ground State: Pair of Sites Embedded in An Effective Medium Characterized by The Wavefunction L/K (Q) )
Ground State: Pair of Sites Embedded in An Effective Medium Characterized by The Wavefunction L/K (Q) )
the surrounding correlated Fermi sea (Fig. 9.2). We have to force the
cluster to imitate, as closely as possible, the inside of a homogeneous
macroscopic system.
We try to achieve this by assigning amplitudes to cluster configura-
tions, which correspond to the recipe for constructing (Q!(q)).According
to (9.16),each time when a doubly occupied site appears, the amplitude
of the configuration picks up a factor 77. Constricting ourselves to the
case of a half-filled band, (9.7) applies. In each configuration, the num-
ber of doubly occupied sites must be equal to the number of empty sites
Nd = N,. This means that in (9.16), the same variational amplitudes
result if we associate a factor fi with each doubly occupied, and also
with each empty, site:
