Linear Response module written by T. Saue and H. J. Aa. Jensen [Saue2003].
Specification of the A operator (see One-electron operators for details).
Specification of the B operator (see One-electron operators for details).
Specification of both the A and B operators (see One-electron operators for details).
Enforce triangularity of response function.
Only one function is calculated.
Default: Deactivated.
Specify frequencies of operator B.
Example: 3 different frequencies.
.B FREQ
3
0.001
0.002
0.01
Default: Static case.
.B FREQ
1
0.0
Employ imaginary frequencies.
Uncoupled calculation.
For each fermion ircop give an Specification of orbital strings of inactive orbitals to include in the linear response calculation.
For each fermion ircop give an Specification of orbital strings of virtual orbitals to include in the linear response calculation.
Exclude all rotations between occupied positive-energy and virtual positive-energy orbitals.
Exclude all rotations between occupied positive-energy and virtual negative-energy orbitals.
The user is encouraged to experiment with these options since they may have an important effect on run time.
Specify what two-electron integrals to include (default: .INTFLG under **HAMILTONIAN).
Set threshold for convergence before adding SL and SS integrals to SCF-iterations.
2 (real) Arguments:
.CNVINT
CNVXQR(1) CNVXQR(2)
Default: Very large numbers.
Set the number of iterations before adding SL and SS integrals to SCF-iterations.
Default:
.ITRINT
1 1
Read solution vectors from file XVCFIL
.REAXVC
XVCFIL
Default: No restart on solution vectors. The file has to have six characters. Make sure there is no blank character in front of the file name.
For a restart on solution vectors it is useful to set
.REAXVC
XVCFIL
.ITRINT
0 0
otherwise LS-integrals (and SS-integrals) are switched on later and one may first iterate away and then back to a possibly converged response vector.
Often you have a converged SCF wave function along with a response vector. In this case make sure that
**DIRAC
#.WAVE FUNCTION
is commented out. Make then also sure that you use the DFCOEF file which has been obtained in the same calculation as the response vector file. Otherwise you may observe more response solver iterations than necessary.
Normalize trial vectors. Using normalized trial vectors will reduce efficiency of screening. CLARIFY!
Default: Use un-normalized vectors.
Generate a complete set of trial vector which implicitly allows the explicit construction of the electronic Hessian. Only to be used for small systems !
Only call FMOLI in sigmavector routine: only generate one-index transformed Fock matrix [Saue2003].
Only call FMOLI in sigmavector routine: 2-electron Fock matrices using one-index transformed densities [Saue2003].
Set diagonal elements of orbital part of Hessian equal to
for rotations between occupied positive-energy and virtual negative-energy orbitals.
Default: Deactivated.
(Sternheim complement) allows to separate basis set incompleteness from the replacement of an inner sum over negative-energy orbitals only by the full sum. In order to benefit from this functionality (only for specialists !), you should run with print level 2 under properties.
Then you can do a sequence of calculations: 1) .SKIPEP 2) .STERNH 3) .STERNC The diamagnetic contribution of 1) is the non-relativistic expectation value, whereas 2) is the Sternheim approximation, that is replacing orbital energy differences with
With no basis set incompleteness the sum of the diamagnetic contribution 2) and the paramagnetic contribution 3) should equal the diamagnetic contribution of 1).
Default: Deactivated.
Reduce number of orbital variation parameters by checking corresponding elements of gradient vector against a threshold. This may reduce memory.
Default: No compression.
.COMPRESSION
0.0
New trial vector will be generated only for variational parameter classes whose residual has a norm that is larger than a fraction 1/RESFAC of the maximum norm.
Default:
.RESFAC
