30 EXPLICITLY CORRELATED METHODS

Explicitly correlated calculations provide a dramatic improvement of the basis set convergence of MP2 and CCSD correlation energies. Such calculations can be performed using the commands of the form

command, options

where command can be one of the following:

MP2-F12

Closed-shell canonical MP2-F12. By default, the fixed amplitude ansatz (FIX, see below) is used, but other ansätze are also possible. The F12-corrections is computed using density fitting, and then added to the MP2 correlation energy obtained without density fitting.

DF-MP2-F12

As MP2-F12, but the DF-MP2 correlation energy is used. This is less expensive than MP2-F12.

DF-LMP2-F12

Closed-shell DF-MP2-F12 with localized orbitals. Any method and ansatz as described in J. Chem. Phys. 126, 164102 (2007) can be used (cf. secions 30.2,30.7).

DF-RMP2-F12

Spin-restricted open-shell DF-RMP2-F12 using ansatz 3C. Any method as described in J. Chem. Phys. 128, 154103 (2008) can be used (cf. sections 30.2,30.7).

CCSD-F12

Closed-shell CCSD-F12 approximations as described in J. Chem. Phys. 127, 221106 (2007). By default, the fixed amplitude ansatz is used and the CCSD-F12A and CCSD-F12B energies are computed. Optionally, the command can be appended by A or B, and then only the corresponding energy is computed. For more details see section 30.9.

CCSD(T)-F12

Same as CCSD-F12, but perturbative triples are added.

UCCSD-F12

Open-shell unrestricted UCCSD-F12 approximations as described by G. Knizia, T. B. Adler, and H.-J. Werner, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 054104 (2009). Restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (RHF) orbitals are used. Optionally, the command can be appended by A or B, and then only the corresponding energy is computed. For more details see section 30.9.

UCCSD(T)-F12

Same as UCCSD-F12, but perturbative triples are added.

RCCSD(T)-F12

Similar to UCCSD(T)-F12, but the partially spin-adapted scheme is used.
