Abstract
We have developed the second-order complete active space perturbation theory (CASPT2) and N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2) based on the adaptive sampling configuration interaction self-consistent field (ASCI-SCF) reference function. Our method directly calculates the intermediate matrices needed for the CASPT2 and NEVPT2 calculations to reduce the memory required for storing the four-particle reduced density matrix (4RDM). To demonstrate the method's applicability, we evaluated the singlet-triplet gaps in several polyacenes and the potential energy curves of chromium dimer, in which the largest active space we tested was (34e,34o).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
