Ab initio group model potentials including electron correlation effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for determination of ab initio group model potentials, with the intention of describing the effects of a whole molecule or a chemical group within a density functional theory framework, is reported. The one-electron part of the Kohn–Sham equations is modified by incorporation of a Coulomb operator, which accounts for the classical electron interaction arising from the group. Exchange and correlation effects are introduced by a suitable modification of the exchange-correlation functionals. The strong orthogonality condition, usually required by the theory of separability of many electron systems, is written in terms of first order reduced density matrices. In order to check the method a group model potential for H2O ~environment! was obtained and employed in the calculation of HF ̄H2O and H2O ̄H2O complexes using several functionals. Equilibrium intergroup distances and binding energies are compared with all-electron calculations. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~00!30337-3#

Role of the exchange-correlation potential in ab initio electron transport calculations.
The effect of the exchange-correlation potential in ab initio electron transport calculations is investigated by constructing optimized effective potentials using different energy functionals or the electron density from second-order perturbation theory. The authors calculate electron transmission through two atomic chain systems, one with charge transfer and one without. Dramatic effects are c...

HF level of ab initio calculations with basis-set 6-31G including full counterpoise correction hasbeen applied to compute the AspHis potential with the Ser and HisSer potential with the Asp inAspHisSer trimer. The potential energy surface has a minimum of -16.765 kcal/mol in R1=1.912nm and R2=2.719 nm. The optimum computed curves for two interactions were fitted withintermolecular pair potentia...
متن کاملAb initio compact group model potentials for describing environment effects in cluster calculations
A method for the determination of ab initio group model potentials within the Hartree]Fock framework is reported. Following the theory of separability of many electron systems, a new way to incorporate the effect of complete chemical entities by means of polycenter compact model potentials is presented. The interaction between active and frozen electrons is partitioned as a sum of longand short...
متن کاملRelativistic Pseudopotential Calculations for Electronic Excited States
Relativistic and electron correlation effects play a important role in the electronic structure of molecules containing heavy elements (main group elements, transition metals, lanthanide and actinide complexes). It is therefore mandatory to account for them in quantum mechanical methods used in theoretical chemistry, when investigating for instance the properties of heavy atoms and molecules in...
