Perturbation and Response Theory with Approximate Wavefunctions

Perturbation and Response Theory with Approximate Wavefunctions [Pg.227]

In this chapter we will follow now the second approach, which means that we will apply time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory from Chapter 3 to approximate solutions of the unperturbed molecular Hamiltonian. In particular, we will illustrate this in the following for Hartree-Fock, MCSCF and coupled cluster wavefunctions. [Pg.227]


For nonlinear (magneto-) optical properties, calculations of an accuracy close to that of modern gas phase experiments require - similar to what has also been found for other properties like structures [79, 109], reaction enthalpies [79, 110, 111], vibrational frequencies [112, 113], NMR chemical shifts [114], etc. - at least an approximate inclusion of connected triple excitations in the wavefunction. This has been known for years now from calculations of static hyperpolarizabilities with the CCSD(T) approximation [9-13]. CCSD(T) accounts rather efficiently for connected triples through a perturbative correction on top of CCSD. For the reasons pointed out in Section 2.1 CCSD(T) is, as a two-step approach, not suitable for the calculation of frequency-dependent properties. Therefore, the CC3 model has been proposed [56, 58] as an alternative to CCSD(T) especially designed for use in connection with response theory. CC3 is an approximation to CCSDT - alike CCSDT-la and related methods - where the triples equations are truncated such that the scaling of the computational efforts with system size is reduced to as for CCSD(T),... [Pg.60]

Molecular theory of the VCD by Stephens involves the determination of wave-function parameters perturbed with respect to the nuclear displacements and the magnetic perturbation. It means, it requires solution of 3V-I-3 response equations N is the number of atoms in the system). Theory of the VCD spectra is constructed within the following assumptions of (a) Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BO) (15.1), in which total wavefunction is a product of electronic and nuclear wave functions for an electronic reference state gO and vibrational state gl ... [Pg.461]
