Basis sets atomic orbital

This, the well-known Hellmann-Feynman theorem [128,129], can then be used for the calculation of the first derivatives. In nonnal situations, however, the use of an incomplete atom-centered (e.g., atomic orbital) basis set means that further terms, known as Pulay forces, must also be considered [130]. 

Most of the techniques described in this Chapter are of the ab initio type. This means that they attempt to compute electronic state energies and other physical properties, as functions of the positions of the nuclei, from first principles without the use or knowledge of experimental input. Although perturbation theory or the variational method may be used to generate the working equations of a particular method, and although finite atomic orbital basis sets are nearly always utilized, these approximations do not involve fitting to known experimental data. They represent approximations that can be systematically improved as the level of treatment is enhanced.

Computation of the overlap integrals in the atomic orbital basis set. 

The next step on the road to quality is to expand the size of the atomic orbital basis set, and I hinted in Chapters 3 and 4 how we might go about this. To start with, we double the number of basis functions and then optimize their exponents by systematically repeating atomic HF-LCAO calculation. This takes account of the so-called inner and outer regions of the wavefunction, and Clementi puts it nicely. 

Atomic orbital basis sets containing diffuse functions must be used at least for the atoms onto which the electron will attach. This means the sulfur atoms if one is studying disulfide cleavage and the O, C, and N atoms (at the site of cleavage) if one is studying N-Ca cleavage. It is important to then check to...

The one-center approximation allows for an extremely rapid evaluation of spin-orbit mean-field integrals if the atomic symmetry is fully exploited.64 Even more efficiency may be gained, if also the spin-independent core-valence interactions are replaced by atom-centered effective core potentials (ECPs). In this case, the inner shells do not even emerge in the molecular orbital optimization step, and the size of the atomic orbital basis set can be kept small. A prerequisite for the use of the all-electron atomic mean-field Hamiltonian in ECP calculations is to find a prescription for setting up a correspondence between the valence orbitals of the all-electron and ECP treatments.65-67... 

The one-electron wave function in an extended solid can be represented with different basis sets. Discussed here are only two types, representing opposite extremes the plane-wave basis set (free-electron and nearly-free-electron models) and the Bloch sum of atomic orbitals basis set (LCAO method). A periodic solid may be considered constmcted by the coalescence of these isolated atoms into extended Bloch-wave functions. On the other hand, within the free-electron framework, in the limit of an infinitesimal periodic potential (V = 0), a Bloch-wave function becomes a simple...

From the broad spectrum of atomic orbital basis sets, one type can be strongly recommended. It is the basis set library of Dunning and coworkers [5], the correlation consistent polarized valence XZ (cc-pVXZ, X = D, T, Q,. . . ) basis sets. Dunning s augmented sets of correlation consistent basis sets (aug-cc-... 

The method that is used in most of the work described in this chapter is the distributed multipole analysis (DMA) of Stone,which is implemented in the CADPAC ab initio suite. DMA is based on the density matrix p,y of the ab initio wavefunction of the molecule, expressed in terms of the Gaussian primitives q that comprise the atomic orbital basis set ... 

Werner and co-workers [2, 21, 34] used internally-contracted multi-reference configuration-interaction (IC-MRCI) calculations, based on state-averaged (three-state) multi-configuration, self-consistent-field (MCSCF) calculations with large atomic orbital basis sets, to determine the three electronically adiabatic C1(F)+H2 PESs in the reactant arrangement L4, 2A, and lA. These all correlate with X( P) + H2. These three adiabatic electronic states are the IC-MRCI approximations to the three lowest eigenfunctions of Hgi, namely...
