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…
Calculation of frequency-dependent polarizabilities using general coupled-cluster models
2006
Abstract An analytic scheme for the calculation of frequency-dependent polarizabilities within a response-theory approach has been implemented for the use within general coupled-cluster (CC) models with arbitrary excitations in the cluster operator. Calculations for CH + and CN demonstrate the fast convergence of the coupled-cluster approach when successively higher excitations are considered. Quadruple excitation effects on the frequency-dependent polarizabilities are found to be rather small except close to the poles.
Frequency-dependent polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities of CO and H2O from coupled cluster calculations
1999
Abstract Frequency-dependent electronic polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities for CO and H 2 O have been investigated in coupled-cluster response theory calculations. Triple excitation effects have been considered by means of the CC3 model which has recently been implemented for frequency-dependent polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities. The final estimates for polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities are in good agreement with experimental results.
The effect of triple excitations in coupled cluster calculations of frequency-dependent polarizabilities
1998
Abstract Frequency-dependent polarizabilities have been implemented within the CC3 model. Comparison with full configuration interaction results shows that the triple excitation effects included in CC3 lead to a significantly improved treatment for the dispersion of the polarizability of CH+. For the refractivity and polarizability anisotropy of N2, better agreement with experiment is found for the CC3 results than for those obtained with the coupled cluster singles and doubles model.
Linear-response theory for Mukherjee's multireference coupled-cluster method: Excitation energies
2012
The recently presented linear-response function for Mukherjee's multireference coupled-cluster method (Mk-MRCC) [T.-C. Jagau and J. Gauss, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 044115 (2012)] is employed to determine vertical excitation energies within the singles and doubles approximation (Mk-MRCCSD-LR) for ozone as well as for o-benzyne, m-benzyne, and p-benzyne, which display increasing multireference character in their ground states. In order to assess the impact of a multireference ground-state wavefunction on excitation energies, we compare all our results to those obtained at the single-reference coupled-cluster level of theory within the singles and doubles as well as within the singles, doubles, and…
Implementation of transition moments between excited states in the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model
2008
An implementation of transition moments between excited states for the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model (CC2) using the resolution of the identity (RI) approximation is reported. The accuracy of the RI approximation is analyzed for a testset of 7 molecules and 76 transitions. The RI error is found to be very small for both transition moments and oscillator strengths. Furthermore, the performance of the CC2 model in comparison with coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) is studied for 40 transitions of the same testset, yielding deviations of about 12% for the transition moments and 24% for the oscillator strengths. In addition, for 13 transitions of the testset the …
Molecular equilibrium geometries based on coupled-cluster calculations including quadruple excitations
2005
Using analytic gradient techniques and an additivity scheme for the various electron correlation contributions, i.e. core-correlation, contribution due to full treatment of triple excitations and contributions due to quadruple excitations calculated with different basis sets, the accuracy of computed geometrical parameters are analysed in comparison with experiment. For a test set of 12 closed-shell and 5 open-shell molecules, it is found that inclusion of quadruple excitations is essential to reach agreement with experiment. The mean error of 0.002 pm and the standard deviation of 0.040 pm of the present CCSD(T)/cc-pV6Z + core(CCSD(T)/cc-pCVQZ) + T/cc-pVTZ + Q/cc-pVDZ results for the close…
Anharmonic force fields from analytic CCSD(T) second derivatives: HOF and F2O
1999
The recent implementation of analytic second derivatives for CCSD(T) (coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations augmented by a perturbational treatment of connected triple excitations) has been combined with a numerical finite difference procedure to calculate cubic and semidiagonal quartic force fields. Computational details of this approach are outlined. Applications are reported for HOF and F2O. The CCSD(T) results are in excellent agreement with experiment and represent a substantial improvement over the results obtained from MP2 (Mo/ller–Plesset second-order perturbation theory).
Analytic gradients for Mukherjee’s multireference coupled-cluster method using two-configurational self-consistent-field orbitals
2010
Analytic gradients for the state-specific multireference coupled-cluster method suggested by Mahapatra et al. [Mol. Phys. 94, 157 (1998)] (Mk-MRCC) are reported within the singles and doubles approximation using two-configurational self-consistent field (TCSCF) orbitals. The present implementation extends our previous work on Mk-MRCC gradients [E. Prochnow et al., J. Chem. Phys. 131, 064109 (2009)] which is based on restricted Hartree-Fock orbitals and consequently the main focus of the present paper is on the treatment of orbital relaxation at the TCSCF level using coupled-perturbed TCSCF theory. Geometry optimizations on m-arynes and nitrenes are presented to illustrate the influence of t…
Pilot applications of internally contracted multireference coupled cluster theory, and how to choose the cluster operator properly.
2011
The internally contracted multireference coupled cluster (icMRCC) method allows a highly accurate description of both static and dynamic correlation with a computational scaling similar to single reference coupled cluster theory. The authors show that the method can lose its orbital invariance and size consistency when no special care is taken in the elimination of redundant excitations. Using the BeH(2) model system, four schemes are compared which differ in their treatment of linear dependencies between excitations of different rank (such as between singles and doubles). While the energy curves agree within tens of μE(h) when truncating the cluster operator at double excitations (icMRCCSD…
