A simple measure of electron localization in atomic and molecular systems
Abstract
We introduce in this work a new approach to the identification of localized electronic groups in atomic and molecular systems. Our approach is based on local behavior of the Hartree–Fock parallel-spin pair probability and is completely independent of unitary orbital transformations. We derive a simple ‘‘electron localization function’’ (ELF) which easily reveals atomic shell structure and core, binding, and lone electron pairs in simple molecular systems as well.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
