Spin-orbit couplings within the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster framework: Theory, implementation, and benchmark calculations.
2015
We present a formalism and an implementation for calculating spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) within the EOM-CCSD (equation-of-motion coupled-cluster with single and double substitutions) approach. The following variants of EOM-CCSD are considered: EOM-CCSD for excitation energies (EOM-EE-CCSD), EOM-CCSD with spin-flip (EOM-SF-CCSD), EOM-CCSD for ionization potentials (EOM-IP-CCSD) and electron attachment (EOM-EA-CCSD). We employ a perturbative approach in which the SOCs are computed as matrix elements of the respective part of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian using zeroth-order non-relativistic wave functions. We follow the expectation-value approach rather than the response-theory formulation for p…
Perturbative calculation of spin-orbit splittings using the equation-of-motion ionization-potential coupled-cluster ansatz.
2008
Spin-orbit splittings for (2)Pi states are calculated within coupled-cluster (CC) theory via first-order degenerate perturbation theory. Using the equation-of-motion CC variant for ionization potentials (EOMIP-CC), the two components of the considered (2)Pi state are treated in a balanced way by generating both radical states via annihilation of one electron out of the CC wave function of the corresponding anion. We report on the implementation of the described approach within the CC singles and doubles approximation. To ensure computational efficiency, an atomic mean-field approximation for the spin-orbit integrals is used, resulting in a formulation in terms of one-electron transition-den…
