Electron correlations − Introduction to Configuration Interaction − 11
12
Electron correlations defined as a difference from Full-CI energy Two classes of electron correlations Dynamical correlations –Lack of Coulomb hole Static (non-dynamical) correlations –Bond dissociation, Excited states –Near degeneracy No explicit separation between dynamical and static correlations. Definition of “electron correlations” in Quantum Chemistry Restricted HF Numerically Exact Fig. Potetntial energy curves of H 2 molecule. 6-31G** basis set. [Szabo, Ostlund, “Modern Quantum Chemistry: Introduction to Advanced Electronic Structure Theory”, Dover] Static correlation is dominant. Dynamical correlation is dominant.

17
2-electron system in a dissociating homonuclear diatomic molecule Changing orbital picture into a local basis: –Each configuration has a fixed weight of 25 %. –No independent variable that determines the weight for each configuration when the bond-length stretches. Static correlations: improper electronic structure Ionic configuration: 2 e on A Ionic configuration: 2 e on B Covalent config.: 2 e at each A and B

23
23 Availability of CI method A straightforward approach to the correlation problem starting from MO theory Not only for the ground state but for the excited states Accuracy is systematically improved by increasing the excitation order up to Full-CI (exact solution) Energy is not size-extensive except for CIS and Full-CI –Difficulty in applying large systems Full-CI: number of configurations rapidly increases with the size of the system. –k α + k β electrons in n α + n β orbitals → –Porphyrin: n α = n β =384, k α =k β =152 → ~10 221 determinants Fig. Correlation energy per water molecule as a percentage of the Full-CI correlation energy (%).

24 Coupled-Cluster (CC) wave function CI wf: a linear expansion CC wf: an exponential expansion Single excitations Double excitations Triple excitations CC Singles (CCS) CI Singles and Doubles (CCSD) CC Singles, Doubles, and Triples (CCSDT) ∙∙∙∙ Linear terms =CI Non-linear terms
25
25 Why exponential? Size-extensive –Non interacting two molecules A and B –Super-molecular calculation ↔ CI case A part of higher-order excitations described effectively by products of lower-order excitations. –Dynamical correlations is two body and short range. Far away No interaction
26
26 Solving CC equations Schrödinger eq. with the CC w.f. CC energy: Project on HF determinant Coefficients: Project on excited configurations (CCSD case) –Non-linear equations. –Number of variable is the same as CI method. –Number of operation count in CCSD is O(N 6 ), similar to CI method.
27
27 Hierarchy in CI and CC methods and numerical performance Rapid convergence in the CC energy to Full-CI energy when the excitation order increases. –Higher-order effect was included via the non-linear terms. In a non-equilibrium structure, the convergence becomes worse than that in the equilibrium structure. –Conventional CC method is for molecules in equilibrium structure.
