Koopmans matrix

Use a 1-determinant closed-shell reference function to obtain a corresponding approximation to the spin-free Koopmans matrix obtained in Problem 13.15 and show that the eigenvalues of K coincide with the usual Koopmans theorem IPs. Then consider an all-pair-excitation reference function (Problem 6.19) to obtain a simple multiconfiguration method for improving the results. Hint In each case substitute appropriate density-matrix elements into the basic equations.]... 

Repeat the derivations in Problem 13.16, using instead the doublecommutator definition (13.6.14) of the Koopmans matrix. Show that the predicted IPs will be unchanged in the 1-determinant approximation then obtain new results for the all-pair-excitation reference function. 

So far there have not been any restrictions on the MOs used to build the determinantal trial wave function. The Slater determinant has been written in terms of spinorbitals, eq. (3.20), being products of a spatial orbital times a spin function (a or /3). If there are no restrictions on the form of the spatial orbitals, the trial function is an Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) wave function. The term Different Orbitals for Different Spins (DODS) is also sometimes used. If the interest is in systems with an even number of electrons and a singlet type of wave function (a closed shell system), the restriction that each spatial orbital should have two electrons, one with a and one with /3 spin, is normally made. Such wave functions are known as Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF). Open-shell systems may also be described by restricted type wave functions, where the spatial part of the doubly occupied orbitals is forced to be the same this is known as Restricted Open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF). For open-shell species a UHF treatment leads to well-defined orbital energies, which may be interpreted as ionization potentials. Section 3.4. For an ROHF wave function it is not possible to chose a unitary transformation which makes the matrix of Lagrange multipliers in eq. (3.40) diagonal, and orbital energies from an ROHF wave function are consequently not uniquely defined, and cannot be equated to ionization potentials by a Koopman type argument. 

The Huckel methods perform the parameterization on the Fock matrix elements (eqs. (3.50) and (3.51)), and not at the integral level as do NDDO/INDO/CNDO. This means that Huckel methods are non-iterative, they only require a single diagonalization of the Fock (Huckel) matrix. The Extended Huckel Theory (EHT) or Method (EHM), developed primarily by Hoffmann again only considers the valence electrons. It makes use of Koopmans theorem (eq. (3.46)) and assigns the diagonal elements in the F... 

The matrix elements between the HF and a doubly excited state are given by two-electron integrals over MOs (eq. (4.7)). The difference in total energy between two Slater determinants becomes a difference in MO energies (essentially Koopmans theorem), and the explicit formula for the second-order Mpller-Plesset correction is... 

The poles correspond to Koopmans s theorem.) The inverse-propagator matrix and its zeroth-order counterpart therefore are related through...

Secondly it was assumed that Koopmans theorem holds i. e. that the orbital energy computed in an ab initio SCF calculation is approximately equal to the ionisation potential, I, of an electron from that orbital. For closed shell systems each orbital energy level is then represented by a band in the photoelectron spectrum, the integrated intensity of which depends on the occupancy of each level, the degeneracy of the ionic state produced by ionisation, and matrix elements. The approximations introduced by the assumption of Koopmans theorem is discussed fully in several papers e.g. Refs. (2) and (J)]. A comprehensive review of gas phase UPS is to be found in the recent book by Eland (4). 

In practice, approximations in the self-energy operator are needed. Efficient, perturbative improvements to Koopmans results may be produced by the neglect of off-diagonal matrix elements of the self-energy operator in the canonical, Hartree-Fock basis. Such diagonal approximations in the selfenergy, which are also known as quasiparticle methods, yield an especially simple form of the Dyson equation. 

A generalization of the Hiickel method to nonplanar systems comprised of carbon and heteroatoms is the Extended Hiickel Theory (EHT) [27 30]. It takes explicitly into account all valence electrons, i.e., Is for H and 2s,2p for C, N, O, and F. Similar to the HMO method, the Fock matrix in EHT FEHT does not contain two-electron integrals. The diagonal elements F T are obtained from experimental ionization potentials (IPs) where the Koopmans theorem [31] has been used.
