Embedding theories became important approaches used for accurate calculations of both molecules and solids. In these theories, a small chosen subset of orbitals is treated with an accurate method, called an impurity solver, capable of describing higher correlation effects. Ideally, such a chosen fragment should contain multiple orbitals responsible...

We present a formulation of relativistic self-consistent GW for solids based on the exact two-component formalism with one-electron approximation (X2C1e) and nonrelativistic Coulomb interactions. Our theory allows us to study scalar relativistic effects, spin-orbit coupling, and the interplay of relativistic effects with electron correlation withou...

We present a formulation of relativistic self-consistent $GW$ for solids based on the exact two-component formalism with one-electron approximation (X2C1e) and non-relativistic Coulomb interactions. Our theory allows us to study scalar relativistic effects, spin-orbit coupling, and the interplay of relativistic effects with electron correlation wit...

Within the self-energy embedding theory (SEET) framework, we study coupled cluster Green's function (GFCC) method in two different contexts: as a method to treat either the system or environment present in the embedding construction. Our study reveals that when GFCC is used to treat the environment we do not see improvement in total energies in com...

We apply the Green's function coupled cluster singles and doubles (GFCCSD) impurity solver to realistic impurity problems arising for strongly correlated solids within the self-energy embedding theory (SEET) framework.

We investigate the performance of Green's function coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) method as a solver for Green's function embedding methods. To develop an efficient CC solver, we construct the one-particle Green's function from the coupled cluster (CC) wave function based on a non-hermitian Lanczos algorithm. The major advantage of this...

A subsystem approach for obtaining electron binding energies in the valence region is presented and applied to the case of halide ions (X−,X=F−At) in water. This approach is based on electronic structure calculations combining the relativistic equation-of-motion coupled cluster method for electron detachment and density functional theory via the fr...

We present a subsystem approach for obtaining electron binding energies in the valence region and apply it to the case of halide ions (X$^-$, X = F-At) in water.

In this work we utilize previously developed double group symmetry-based generalized tensor contraction scheme,...

The orbital relaxation attendant on ionization is particularly important for the core electron ionization potential (core IP) of molecules. The Unitary Group Adapted State Universal Coupled Cluster (UGA-SUMRCC) theory, recently formulated and implemented by Sen et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 137, 074104 (2012)], is very effective in capturing orbital relax...

We present a theoretical framework and implementation details for self-energy embedding theory (SEET) with the GW approximation for the treatment of weakly correlated degrees of freedom and configuration interactions solver for handing the strongly correlated degrees. On a series of molecular examples, for which the exact results are known within a...

We present a formulation and implementation of the calculation of (orbital-unrelaxed) expectation values at the 4-component relativistic coupled cluster level with spin-orbit coupling included from the start. The Lagrangian-based analytical energy derivative technique constitutes the basic theoretical framework of this work. The key algorithms for...

We present a theoretical study of nuclear volume in the rovibrational spectra of diatomic molecules which is an extension of a previous study restricted to rotational spectra [Chem. Phys. 401 (2012) 103]. We provide a new derivation for the electron-nucleus electrostatic interaction energy which is basically independent of the choice of model for t...

We present a 4-component relativistic study of uranium 2p3/2ionization and excitation in the isoelectronic series UO22+, OUN+ and UN2. We calculate ionization energies by ΔSCF at the Hartree-Fock(HF) and Kohn-Sham(KS) level of theory. At the ΔHF level we observe a perfectly linear chemical shift of ionization energies with respect to uranium atomic...

The importance of relativistic effects in chemistry has been recognized since the 1980s. Without relativity (a) gold would have the same colour as silver (b) mercury would not be liquid at room temperature (c) our cars would not start (lead-battery). For a theoretical description of the structure and reactivity of heavy-elements, relativity is cons...

Spectroscopic constants for the homonuclear dimers of the very heavy rare gases radon (Rn) and eka-radon (Uuo) are reported. A computational protocol using the eXact 2-Component molecular-mean field Hamiltonian has been established based on extensive calculations of the xenon dimer. We find that reliable results require CCSD(T) calculations at the...

The unitary group adapted state universal multi-reference coupled cluster (UGA-SUMRCC) theory, recently developed by us using a normal-ordered multi-exponential wave operator Ansatz with spin-free excitations in the cluster operators, has the twin advantages of generating a spin-adapted coupled-cluster (CC) function and having a terminating express...

The Unitary Group Adapted State Universal Multireference Coupled Cluster (UGA-SUMRCC) theory, recently developed by us (J. Chem. Phys.2012, 137, 074104), contains exactly the right number of linearly independent cluster operators. This avoids any redundancy of the excitation manifold in a way exactly paralleling the traditional spin–orbital based S...

The traditional state universal multi-reference coupled cluster (SUMRCC) theory uses the Jeziorski-Monkhorst (JM) based Ansatz of the wave operator: Ω = Σ(μ)Ω(μ)|φ(μ)><φ(μ)|, where Ω(μ) = exp(T(μ)) is the cluster representation of the component of Ω inducing virtual excitations from the model function φ(μ). In the first formulations, φ(μ)s were cho...

We present here the formulations and implementations of Mukherjee&apos;s State-Specific and State-Universal Multi-reference Coupled Cluster theories, which are explicitly spin free being obtained via the Unitary Group Adapted (UGA) approach, and thus, do not suffer from spin-contamination. We refer to them as UGA-SSMRCC and UGASUMRCC respectively....
