Warning

Only the calculation of the density is tested for open shell configurations (and relies on a correct .OCCUPATION). All other properties are only tested for closed shell systems and should not be trusted for open shell systems without a thorough testing.

Sampling

.LIST

Calculate various densities in few points. Scalar and vector densities are written to the standard output file. Example (3 points; coordinates in bohr):

.LIST
 3
 1.0 0.0 0.0
 0.0 1.0 0.0
 0.0 0.0 1.0

.LINE

Calculate various densities along a line. Example (line connecting two points; 200 steps; coordinates in bohr):

.LINE

Scalar and vector densities are written to files plot.line.scalar and plot.line.vector, respectively, and should be saved after calculation, e.g.

pam --get=plot.line.scalar ...

The first three columns of the output files gives the coordinates (x, y, z) of the point. It is then followed by one/three columns giving the value of the scalar/vector density in that point.

.RADIAL

\[f(r) = \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}f(\mathbf{r})r^2\sin\theta d\theta d\phi\]

by performing Lebedev angular integration over a specified number of even-spaced radial shells out to some specified distance from a specified initial point. Example (coordinates and distance in bohr):

.RADIAL
0.0 0.0 0.0
10.0
200

The first line after the keyword specifies the initial point, here chosen to be the origin. The second and third line is the distance and step size, respectively. Scalar and vector densities are written to files plot.radial.scalar and plot.radial.vector, respectively, and should be saved after calculation, e.g.

\[\hat{T}_{H}\left(\omega\right)=\frac{e}{\omega}\left(c\boldsymbol{\alpha}\cdot\boldsymbol{\epsilon}\right)\cos\left(\boldsymbol{k}\cdot\boldsymbol{r}\right)\]

where appears the wave vector \(\mathbf{k}\) and the polarization vector \(\boldsymbol{\epsilon}\). In accordance with the quaternion symmetry scheme of DIRAC an imaginary \(i\) will be inserted in the Hermitian part to make it time-symmetric. It should be noted that this is an ungerade operator.

.BEDSIN

Compute the anti-Hermitian part of the full effective light-matter interaction

.BEDFIX

Specify the wave vector \(\mathbf{k}\) and the polarization vector \(\boldsymbol{\epsilon}\) when using the full light-matter interaction. The orientation of the wave and polarization vector is given by specification of the angles \(\theta\), \(\phi\) and \(\chi\), see the .BED keyword for more details. In addition the user has to specify the angular frequency $omega$ which fixes the length of the wave vector \(\mathbf{k}\) since we have

\[k=\frac{\omega}{c}={2\pi}{\lambda}\]

For instance, to specify that the wave vector is along the \(z\) -axis, the polarization vector along the \(x\) - axis for an excitation energy at \(\omega=49.138\) a.u. we set

.READJB
 file_name        ! a file with x,y,z-coordinates of grid points and jB vector field

.OCCUPATION

In molecules with inversion symmetry there are two fermion ircops: gerade (1) and ungerade (2). Otherwise there is a single fermion ircop (1). The specification of the fermion ircop is followed by the range of selected orbitals and their occupation. If a single orbital is specified a single number is given instead of the range.
