Radial d and s electron wave functions have been calculated for Tl+ in the 5d106s2 configuration in a crystalline field. One corrects for the effects of the nonpoint lattice ions on the wave functions by means of an approximation in which the lattice is considered as a set of charged spheres. The calculations are performed in the central-field approximation by the Hartree-Torrance method without allowance for the exchange interaction. The nonpoint correction leads to some consolidation of the wave functions by comparison with the point-ion approximation. The energy eigenvalues for the d and s electrons are altered. The calculations agree with increase in the binding energy between the central ion and the ligands in thallium halide complexes in the series Cl−→Br−→I−.
