Implementation of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the implementation of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems in the code CRYSTAL, emphasizing the technical aspects of this task. The code is now capable of calculating analytical derivatives with respect to nuclear coordinates for systems periodic in 0, 1, 2 and 3 dimensions (i.e. molecules, polymers, slabs and solids). Both closed-shell restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock gradients have been implemented. A comparison with numerical derivatives shows that the forces are highly accurate. Typeset using REVTEX 1

Hartree - Fock gradients for periodic systems
We present the theory of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems as implemented in the code CRYSTAL. We demonstrate how derivatives of the integrals can be computed with the McMurchie-Davidson algorithm. Highly accurate gradients with respect to nuclear coordinates are obtained for systems periodic in 0,1,2 or 3 dimensions.
متن کاملGeometry optimization of molecular structures in solution by the polarizable continuum model
A new implementation of analytical gradients for the polarizable continuum model is presented, which allows Hartree-Fock and density functional calculations taking into account both electrostatic and nonelectrostatic contributions to energies and gradients for closed and open shell systems. Simplified procedures neglecting the derivatives of the cavity surface andror using single spheres for XH...
متن کاملRobust Periodic Hartree-Fock Exchange for Large-Scale Simulations Using Gaussian Basis Sets.
Hartree-Fock exchange with a truncated Coulomb operator has recently been discussed in the context of periodic plane-waves calculations [Spencer, J.; Alavi, A. Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, 2008, 77, 193110]. In this work, this approach is extended to Gaussian basis sets, leading to a stable and accurate procedure for evaluating Hartree-Fock exchange at the Γ-point. Furthermore, it has been found ...
متن کاملAnalytical gradients for MP2, double hybrid functionals, and TD‐DFT with polarizable embedding described by fluctuating charges
A polarizable quantum mechanics (QM)/ molecular mechanics (MM) approach recently developed for Hartree-Fock (HF) and Kohn-Sham (KS) methods has been extended to energies and analytical gradients for MP2, double hybrid functionals, and TD-DFT models, thus allowing the computation of equilibrium structures for excited electronic states together with more accurate results for ground electronic sta...
متن کاملun 1 99 8 Scalar - relativistic effects in solids in the framework of a Douglas – Kroll transformed Dirac – Coulomb Hamiltonian Norbert
The Douglas–Kroll transformed Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian is used to describe scalar-relativistic effects in solids. A Hartree–Fock approximation with periodic boundary conditions makes it feasible to use methods originally developed for atoms and molecules to solve the corresponding equations for crystalline systems. The implementation is realized within the CRYSTAL program. Scalar-relativistic ...
