Sorry, folks. I didn't even bother to come back here to look at the
response to my earlier post. I didn't think there would be one, except
those that came directly to my inbox. I'm back here today almost by
accident. Panton, your response was helpful. I had Googled the topic
earlier, but didn't come up with these various programs. I have the
program developed for hydrogen, and wanted to go on to other atoms,
eventually getting to molecules. I already knew about Atom in a Box.
However, I can't use those programs, except as educational material. I
have to develop my own; it is part of a more comprehensive, scientific
visualization project, one that provides interactive, 3d
visualizations for all phenomena. (I'll be working on this for the
rest of my life, and the project will be unfinished when I die.)
Anyway, I did get the adviser I was looking for. Thanks.
Incidentally, I do this sort of thing quite regularly, hiring academic
experts to guide me in the creation of 3d visualizations. I have also
hired architects to design buildings, managers to run my small
businesses, machine shops to produce custom metal work ... cabbies to
drive me around ... I'm surprised to find that this is problematic
for some of us.
The answer has not changed since last time. You have to solve the
Schroedinger equation.
Hydrogen and Hydrogen-like [eg, nucleus + 1 electron] are analytically
solvable. Everything else needs a computational solution, or some form
of approximation.
