Notes:
The MP-QMC procedure, which is a combination of the model potential (MP) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method, is employed to determine the electron affinity of Cl, together with the fixed-node approximation. Only valence electrons are treated explicitly, while core electrons are replaced by an effective potential constructed with Gaussian-type functions. The expectation value of electron affinity of Cl atom is obtained from subtracting the valence energy of Cl− from that of Cl. The result is in very good agreement with experiment.
