Summary[edit]

Description
English: Illustration of the concept of the self-consistent mean-field. Solving the Schrodinger equation for a certain potential, or mean-field, V(r) generates a set of single-particle wave-functions. These wave-functions are then used to construct the density of particles. After the density is computed, the potential must be re-calculated. This so-called self-consistent loop stops when either the wave-functions, the density, the potential, or some combination thereof does not change any more from one iteration to the next. This method is applied in atomic physics, nuclear structure and cluster physics, among others.
Français : Illustration du concept de champ-moyen auto-cohérent. Partant de la résolution de l'équation de Schrodinger pour un certain potentiel, ou champ-moyen, V(r), on obtient un ensemble de fonctions d'ondes individuelles. Ces fonctions d'conde sont ensuite utilisées pour construire la densité de particules. Une fois la densité connue, le potentiel doit être recalculé. Cette boucle auto-cohérente cesse lorsque les fonctions d'ondes, la densité, le potentiel de champ-moyen ou certaines combinaisons de ces grandeurs ne changent plus d'une itération à l'autre. Cette méthode est appliquée en physique atomique, en structure nucléaire, ainsi que dans la physique des agrégats (entre autres).
