mp2 - Moller-Plesset Perburbation Theory
Contents
Description
The module determines the second-order Moller-Plesset energy and one-particle density matrix (OPDM) for
RHF, UHF, and ROHF (using semicanonical orbitals) references. Frozen orbitals can be used when computing
the energy but not the OPDM.
Input Format
Input for this program is read from the file input.dat. The following keywords are valid:
WFN=string
Specifies the type of wave function desired. The only valid entry at the present is MP2. There is
no default.
REFERENCE=string
Specifies the type of orbitals used for the single-determinant reference function. Valid entries
include RHF, UHF, and ROHF. There is no default.
PRINT=integer
Determines the verbosity of the output. A value of 0 (the default) specifies minimal printing.
CACHETYPE=string
Selects the priority type for maintaining the automatic memory cache used by the DPD codes. (See
libdpd.html for further details.) A value of LOW (the default) selects a "low priority" scheme in
which the deletion of items from the cache is based on pre-programmed priorities. A value of LRU
selects a "least recently used" scheme in which the oldest item in the cache will be the first one
deleted.
CACHELEV=integer
Selects the level of automatic cacheing desired in the storage of various amplitudes, integrals,
and intermediates in the coupled cluster procedure. A value of 0 retains no quantities in cache,
while a level of 6 attempts to store all quantities in cache. For particularly large
calculations, a value of 0 may help with certain types of memory problems. The default is 2,
which means that all four-index quantites with up to two virtual-orbital indices (e.g., <ij|ab>
integrals) may be held in the cache.
OPDM=boolean
If TRUE calculate the one-particle density matrix and make OPDM_WRITE default to TRUE. The
default value of OPDM is FALSE.
OPDM_WRITE=boolean
Flag for whether or not to write the one-particle density matrix to disk.
OPDM_PRINT=boolean
Flag for whether or not to print the one-particle density matrix.
