I. Porras, A 2-PARAMETER SINGLE-PARTICLE DESCRIPTION OF THE GROUND-STATE OF 2-ELECTRON ATOMS, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 28(20), 1995, pp. 4391-4398
A simple variational-type model for the ground state of two-electron a
toms is here proposed. It is based on a single-particle wavefunction w
ith two free parameters generalizing the screened hydrogenic one, and
which holds the Kato cusp condition exactly. The results for the expec
tation values of different properties including the energy are close t
o different Hartree-Fock ones reported in the literature.
