The Grassmann interpolation method for spin-unrestricted open-shell systems.
The Journal of chemical physics(2023)
摘要
The recently reported Grassmann interpolation (G-Int) method [J. A. Tan and K. U. Lao, J. Chem. Phys. 158, 051101 (2023)] has been extended to spin-unrestricted open-shell systems. In contrast to closed-shell systems, where G-Int has to be performed only once since the α and β density matrices are the same, spin-unrestricted open-shell systems require G-Int to be performed twice-one for the α spin and another for the β spin density matrix. In this work, we tested the performance of G-Int to the carbon monoxide radical cation CO●+ and nickelocene complex, which have the doublet and triple ground states, respectively. We found that the Frobenius norm errors associated with the interpolations for the α and β spin density matrices are comparable for a given molecular geometry. These G-Int density matrices, when used as an initial guess for a self-consistent field (SCF) calculation, outperform the conventional SCF guess schemes, such as the superposition of atomic densities, purified superposition of atomic densities, core Hamiltonian, and generalized Wolfsberg-Helmholtz approximation. Depending on the desired accuracy, these G-Int density matrices can be used to directly evaluate the SCF energy without performing SCF iterations. In addition, the spin-unrestricted G-Int density matrices have been used for the first time to directly calculate the atomic charges using the Mulliken and ChElPG population analysis.
