核心概念
本文擴展了基於活性軌域和自適應 CC(P;Q) 方法,並將其應用於激發態電子結構計算,成功地以更低的計算成本準確地描述了水分子的激發態勢能曲線。
統計資料
CCSDT 方法對 X 1A' 態的描述非常準確,相對於基態完全 CI 勢能的 MUE 和 NPE 值分別僅為 0.63 和 1.14 毫哈特里。
對於 ROH = 1.3-2.0 Bohr 區域內的激發態勢能,EOMCCSD 相對於 EOMCCSDT 的最大誤差出現在高位 3 1A' 態時,為 3.392 毫哈特里。
在 ROH = 2.8-4.4 Bohr 區域內,EOMCCSD 相對於 EOMCCSDT 的誤差對於 2 3A''、2 1A'、3 3A'' 和 3 1A' 態分別高達 28.470、32.540、65.442 和 32.035 毫哈特里。
CC(t;3) 計算將 CR-EOMCC(2,3) 方法在 ROH = 4.0-4.4 Bohr 區域內對 2 3A'' PES 獲得的 11.891-13.976 毫哈特里的誤差降低到 0.481-0.625 毫哈特里。
CR-EOMCC(2,3) 方法在 ROH = 2.8 Bohr 處對 3 3A'' 態產生的 37.018 毫哈特里的巨大誤差在 CC(t;3) 計算中減少了兩個數量級以上,降至 0.133 毫哈特里。
使用 P 空間中僅 1% 的三電子激發態決定因子,自適應 CC(P;Q) 計算就能顯著改善 CR-CC(2,3)/CR-EOMCC(2,3) 數據。
當將包含在定義自適應 CC(P;Q) 計算的 P 空間中的三電子激發態決定因子的比例增加到 2% 時,情況會變得更好。
引述
"The development of accurate and computationally practical methods for describing excited electronic states and potential energy surfaces (PESs) of molecules is a vital component of quantum chemistry."
"It is nowadays well established that the excited-state extensions of the coupled-cluster (CC) theory [1–3] belonging to the equation-of-motion (EOM) [4, 5], linear-response (LR) [6–9], and symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration interaction (CI) [10] hierarchies are capable of providing reliable and systematically improvable description of excited electronic states using polynomial computational steps within a conceptually straightforward single-reference (SR) ansatz."
"A robust solution to the above deficiencies of the perturbative corrections to EOMCCSD and their CR-EOMCC(2,3) and similar counterparts is offered by the CC(P;Q) framework [29, 36–40], which generalizes the original CR-CC [26, 30, 31, 33, 34, 41] and CR-EOMCC [14, 25–28] approaches to unconventional truncations in the T and Rµ operators that incorporate the leading contributions to the Tn and Rµ,n components with n > 2 into the iterative parts of the computations, correcting the resulting energies for the missing correlation effects of interest using moment expansions similar to those used in CR-CC/EOMCC."
