Abstract

Several potentially useful scalar and vector fields that have been scarcely or even never used to date in Quantum Chemical Topology are defined, computed, and analyzed for a few small molecules. The fields include the Ehrenfest force derived from the second order density matrix, which does not show many of the spurious features encountered when it is computed from the electronic stress tensor, the exchange-correlation (xc) potential, the potential acting on one electron in a molecule, and the additive and effective energy densities. The basic features of the topology of some of these fields are also explored and discussed, paying attention to their possible future interest.
