Analysis of the contributions of three-body potentials in the equation of state of 4He
Abstract
The effect of three-body interatomic contributions in the equation of state of 4He are investigated. A recent two-body potential together with the Cohen and Murrell (Chem. Phys. Lett. 260, 371 (1996)) three-body potential are applied to describe bulk helium. The triple-dipole dispersion and exchange energies are evaluated subjected only to statistical uncertainties. An extension of the diffusion Monte Carlo method is applied in order to compute very small energies differences. The results show how the three-body contributions affects the ground-state energy, the equilibrium, melting and freezing densities.
