Orbit space

The main drawback of the chister-m-chister methods is that the embedding operators are derived from a wavefunction that does not reflect the proper periodicity of the crystal a two-dimensionally infinite wavefiinction/density with a proper band structure would be preferable. Indeed, Rosch and co-workers pointed out recently a series of problems with such chister-m-chister embedding approaches. These include the lack of marked improvement of the results over finite clusters of the same size, problems with the orbital space partitioning such that charge conservation is violated, spurious mixing of virtual orbitals into the density matrix [170], the inlierent delocalized nature of metallic orbitals [171], etc.

There are several issues to consider when using ECP basis sets. The core potential may represent all but the outermost electrons. In other ECP sets, the outermost electrons and the last filled shell will be in the valence orbital space. Having more electrons in the core will speed the calculation, but results are more accurate if the —1 shell is outside of the core potential. Some ECP sets are designated as shape-consistent sets, which means that the shape of the atomic orbitals in the valence region matches that for all electron basis sets. ECP sets are usually named with an acronym that stands for the authors names or the location where it was developed. Some common core potential basis sets are listed below. The number of primitives given are those describing the valence region.

The dissociation problem is solved in the case of a full Cl wave function. As seen from eq. (4.19), the ionic term can be made to disappear by setting ai = —no- The full Cl wave function generates the lowest possible energy (within the limitations of the chosen basis set) at all distances, with the optimum weights of the HF and doubly excited determinants determined by the variational principle. In the general case of a polyatomic molecule and a large basis set, correct dissociation of all bonds can be achieved if the Cl wave function contains all determinants generated by a full Cl in the valence orbital space. The latter corresponds to a full Cl if a minimum basis is employed, but is much smaller than a full Cl if an extended basis is used. 

All calculations are scalar relativistic calculations using the Douglas-Kroll Hamiltonian except for the CC calculations for the neutral atoms Ag and Au, where QCISD(T) within the pseudopotential approach was used [99], CCSD(T) results for Ag and Au are from Sadlej and co-workers, and Cu and Cu from our own work, using an uncontracted (21sl9plld6f4g) basis set for Cu [6,102] and a full active orbital space. 

Including the correction for the virtual orbitals ensures the orthogonality between occupied and virtual orbitals. Nevertheless, within the two separate orbital spaces, the orbitals must be re-orthogonalized in each iteration.

Koopmann s theorem establishes a connection between the molecular orbitals of the 2jV-electron system, just discussed, and the corresponding (2N- 1 Electron system obtained by ionization. The theorem states If one expands the (2N - 1) molecular spin-orbitals of the ground state of the ionized system in terms of the 2N molecular spin-orbitals of the ground state of the neutral system, then one finds that the orbital space of the ionized system is spanned by the (2N - 1) canonical orbitals with the lowest orbital energies ek i.e. to this approximation the canonical self-consistent-field orbital with highest orbital energy is vacated upon ionization. This theorem holds only for the canonical SCF orbitals. 13>... 

At this point it should be noted that, in addition to the discussed previously, the canonical Hartree-Fock equations (26) have additional solutions with higher eigenvalues e . These are called virtual orbitals, because they are unoccupied in the 2iV-electron ground state SCF wavefunction 0. They are orthogonal to the iV-dimensional orbital space associated with this wavefunction. 

Table 5. Post-HF activation barriers for the insertion reaction of ethene into the Zr-CH3 bond of the HjSifCpEZrCH species. All the reported insertion barriers were obtained through single point calculations on the MP2 geometries of Tables 3 and 4 (corresponding to run 3 in this Table). In the valence calculations the Is orbitals on the C atoms, the orbitals up to 2p on the Si atom and up to the 3d on the Zr atom where not included in the active orbitals space. In the full MP2 calculations all occupied orbitals were correlated.

Firstly, inclusion of polarization functions on the C and H atoms of the reactive groups (CH3 and C2H4) reduces considerably the insertion barrier (compare runs 1 and 2 as well as runs 6 and 7 ) and seems to be mandatory. Instead, inclusion of polarization functions on the ancillary H2Si(Cp)2 ligand has a negligible effect on the calculated insertion barrier (compare runs 2 and 3 as well as runs 7 and 8). Extension of the basis set on the reactive groups lowers further the insertion barrier (compare runs 7 and 9). Both the MIDI basis set on Zr, and the SVP basis set on the remaining atoms decrease the insertion barrier (compare runs 3, 5 and 8). Finally, the extension of the active orbitals space to include all the occupied orbitals reduces sensibly the insertion barrier (compare runs 3 and 4).

It is, of course, also possible to optimize the parameters in O and c (step (1) above), so as to minimize the energy, without relaxing the CASSCF orbital spaces. This defines an energy-based valence bond interpretation of the CASSCF solution. 

The electron density described by a core orbital space will of course strongly affect the nature of the active orbitals. The form of the inactive orbitals may be influenced by placing symmetry restrictions on them, or by invoking an initial orbital localization [11-15]. The localized orbitals that are not of interest for the VB description may then be placed in the core in the subsequent CASSCF or fully variational VB calculation and, if necessary, some or all of them may be frozen. 

In active-space calculations, the total orbital space is usually partitioned into external core orbitals (c), active orbitals (a), and unoccupied virtual (external) orbitals (v). (There can additionally be some frozen core orbitals that remain doubly occupied throughout the calculation.)... 

For simplicity, we shall commonly refer to the Q-electron distribution function as the 2-density and the 2-electron reduced density matrix as the 2-ntatrix. In position-space discussions, the diagonal elements of the 2-ntatrix are commonly referred to as the 2-density. In this chapter, we will also refer to the diagonal element of orbital-space representation of the Q-vaatnx as the 2-density. 

The variation 8E = 8Et + 8E with 8Ej and 5E expressed by (25) and (30) now cleariy highlights the contributions of the different fragments and suggests how to decompose the iterative step into K rotations each one in the orbital space of one fragment. 

Now, in what is called Hartree-Fock orbital. space—or simply orbital space—the total energy is partitioned from the outset into orbital energies, e,- = ejj, 2, ... Hence we can always consider a collection of electrons and deduce their total energy from the appropriate sum of their orbital energies, remembering, however, that one must also correct for the interelectronic repulsions which are doubly counted in any sum of Hartree-Fock eigenvalues. No special problem arises with... 

Incidentally, let us mention that the essence of the pseudopotential methods [52] is to replace core electrons by an appropriate operator. The point is that the core-valence partitioning involved in these methods refers to the same orbital space as the corresponding all-electron calculations. 

Now, what if we abandon the orbital-by-orbital electron partitioning in favor of a description based on the stationary ground-state electron density p(r) Clearly, this will oblige us to redefine the coie-valence separation. In sharp contrast with what was done in orbital space, we need a partitioning in real space. Let us begin with isolated atoms. 

Numerical Hartree-Fock calculations of [87], on the other hand, convincingly show that our results in real space are the same as those of the orbital space model [Eq. (4.32)] and that we are thus justified to write...
