Analytic energy gradients

In the case of a periodic polymer (assuming that all nuclei move in phase with each other in the direction of x), Hirata and Iwata48 have given analytical expressions for the first and second derivatives according to the nuclear coordinates in the HF level, Writing for the total energy per unit cell 

(39) p, v, A, a are basis function indices and their summation runs from 1 to g (number of basis functions x in the unit cell), q, q, q2 are cell indices and they have to be summed up from 1 to N (number of unit cells in the chain). Further theA notation in the two-electron integrals stands for (l/ri2)(l — 4 ) (the operator P ++2 exchanges electrons 1 and 2), 

HNbeing the one-electron part of the total Hamiltonian H. Finally the generalized charge-border matrix elements are defined as 

Assuming again that all nuclei move in phase in direction one obtains in a similar way 

To be able to evaluate equation (43) we need the derivatives (bpfy/by) and (bW v/by), respectively. For this purpose we have to know the derivatives of the coefficients occurring in the COs, ( ( )/ ). They can be obtained from the solution of the coupled HF(CPHF) equations.49 Following the notation of Pople et al.,50 one can write

The only unknown term of Equations (1.174) and (1.175) remains the relaxation part of the density matrix, PA (or PAeq) (and the corresponding apparent charges qA or qfn). These quantities can be obtained through the extension of LR approaches to analytical energy gradients here in particular it is worth mentioning the recent formulation...

In many aspects of molecular chemistry and physics, the energy gradient of the potential energy surface (the force acting on the nucleus) is a very useful quantity. We formulated the analytical energy gradients of the SAC-CI method, not only for the SD-/ method [38,39] but also for the general-/ method [40,41] and not only for... 

The SAC-CI analytical energy gradient was extended to the general-f method [33,40] and the high-spin multiplicities [37,42]. Formulations and implementations were recently...
