Spin-restricted Brueckner orbitals for coupled-cluster wavefunctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theory of spin-restricted Brueckner orbitals for high-spin open-shell coupled-cluster wavefunctions is presented. The orbitals are based on single-excitation amplitudes constructed using the symmetric spin–orbital basis coupled-cluster method of Jayatilaka and Lee. It is shown how this approach may be easily implemented within existing open-shell coupled-cluster programs. The method’s performance is compared to conventional spin-unrestricted Brueckner orbitals for C̃ A2 NO2 and X̃ A28 NO3, for which instabilities in the Hartree–Fock reference determinant cause serious difficulties for highly correlated wavefunctions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~97!03747-1#

Energies and analytic gradients for a coupled-cluster doubles model using variational Brueckner orbitals: Application to symmetry breaking
We describe an alternative procedure for obtaining approximate Brueckner orbitals in ab initio electronic structure theory. Whereas approximate Brueckner orbitals have traditionally been obtained by mixing the orbitals until the coefficients of singly substituted determinants in the many-electron wave function become zero, we remove singly substituted determinants at the outset and obtain orbit...
متن کاملAnalytic gradients for the spin-conserving and spin-flipping equation-of-motion coupled-cluster models with single and double substitutions.
Analytic gradient expressions for the spin-conserving and spin-flipping equation-of-motion coupled-cluster models with single and double substitutions are derived using a Lagrangian approach for the restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock references, both for the case of all orbitals being active in correlated calculations and for the frozen core and/or virtual orbitals. Details of the impleme...

متن کاملImproved Quantum Theory of Many - Electron Systems . V . The Spin - Coupling Optimized Gl Method
The previously developed GI methods have an arbitrary aspect since they are based on a particular representation of the symmetric group. Here we remove this arbitrariness by optimizing the representation, that is, optimizing the spin-coupling scheme simultaneously with the optimization of the orbitals. The resulting wavefunctions, called the spin-coupling optimized GI or SOGI wavefunctions, hav...
متن کاملBrueckner doubles coupled cluster method with the polarizable continuum model of solvation.
We present the theory and implementation for computing the (free) energy and its analytical gradients with the Brueckner doubles (BD) coupled cluster method in solution, in combination with the polarizable continuum model of solvation (PCM). The complete model, called PTED, and an efficient approximation, called PTE, are introduced and tested with numerical examples. Implementation details are ...
