HF Results

The Hartree-Fock calculations from figure gif were also repeated to ensure that the new interaction reduces the CFSE present in these calculations. The results are illustrated in Figure gif. The new interaction is clearly also successful in HF calculations, reducing the CFSE by a factor of about 3.
