In this reply we clarify questions point out in the Comment on: The Effect of Confinement on the Electronic Energy and Polarizability of a Hydrogen Molecular Ion by J. F. da Silva, F. R. Silva and E. Drigo Filho, Int. J. ...

The energy eigenvalues for confined H2+ molecule are computed by using the variational method. The approach proposed here uses a trial molecular function for the ground state composed of a linear combination of atomic ...

The electronic energy and the polarizability of a confined hydrogen molecular ion in the ground state and the first excited state, for cavities of different volumes, are calculated using the variational method. In the ...

We show that the kinetic-energy partition method (KEP) is a particular example of the well known Rayleigh–Ritz variational method. We discuss some of the KEP results and compare them with those coming from other approaches.

Specialized guard cells modulate plant gas exchange through the regulation of stomatal aperture. The size of the stomatal pore is a direct function of the volume of the guard cells. The transport of solutes across channels ...
