The concept of rational orbitals is introduced, based upon finding that pair of orbitals which yield the single configuration function which maximally overlaps with a configuration interaction wave function. They are simply obtained from the natural orbitals by an elementary orthogonal transformation and are more appropriate than natural orbitals to analysis of functions for open-shell states. The CI wave functions of a number of lS states of helium are analyzed and the nature of the rational orbitals investigated.

Natural Orbitals

Natural orbitals are often used in quantum chemistry to achieve a more compact representation of correlated wave-functions. Using natural orbitals computed as eigenstates of the virtual-virtual block of the state density matrix instead of the canonical Hartree-Fock molecular orbitals results in smaller errors when the same fraction of virtual orbitals is frozen. This strategy, termed frozen natural orbitals (FNO) approach, has been successfully used to reduce the cost of state-specific coupled-cluster (CC) calculations, such as ground-state CC, as well as some multi-state methods, i.e., EOM-IP-CC (equation-of-motion CC method for ionization potentials). This contribution extends the FNO approach to the EOM-SF-CC ansatz (EOM-CC with spin-flip), which has been developed to describe certain multi-configurational wave-functions within the single-reference framework. In contrast to EOM-IP-CCSD, which describes open-shell target states by using a closed-shell reference, EOM-SF-CCSD relies on high-spin open-shell references (triplets, quartets, etc). Consequently, straightforward application of FNOs computed for an open-shell reference leads to an erratic behavior of the EOM-SF-CC energies and properties, which can be attributed to an inconsistent truncation of the α and β orbital spaces. A general solution to problems arising in the EOM-CC calculations utilizing open-shell references, termed OSFNO (open-shell FNO), is proposed. The OSFNO algo-rithm first identifies corresponding orbitals by means of singular value decomposition (SVD) of the overlap matrix of the α and β molecular orbitals and determines virtual orbitals corresponding to the singly occupied space. This is followed by SVD of the singlet part of the state density matrix in the remaining virtual orbital subspace. The so-computed FNOs preserve the spin purity of the open-shell orbital subspace to the extent allowed by the original reference thus facilitating a safe truncation of the virtual space. The performance of the OSFNO approximation in combination with different choices of reference orbitals is benchmarked for a set of diradicals and triradicals. For a set of di-copper single-molecule magnets, a conservative truncation criterion corresponding to a two-fold reduction of the virtual space in a triple-zeta basis leads to errors of 5–18 cm<sup>-1</sup> in the singlet–triplet gaps and errors of ∼2-3 cm<sup>-1</sup> in the spin–orbit coupling constants.

Active Space

An algorithm to perform stochastic generalized active space calculations, Stochastic-GAS, is presented, that uses the Slater determinant based FCIQMC algorithm as configuration interaction eigensolver. Stochastic-GAS allows the construction and stochastic optimization of preselected truncated configuration interaction wave functions, either to reduce the computational costs of large active space wave function optimizations, or to probe the role of specific electron correlation pathways. As for the conventional GAS procedure, the preselection of the truncated wave function is based on the selection of multiple active subspaces while imposing restrictions on the interspace excitations. Both local and cumulative minimum and maximum occupation number constraints are supported by Stochastic-GAS. The occupation number constraints are efficiently encoded in precomputed probability distributions, using the precomputed heat bath algorithm, which removes nearly all runtime overheads of GAS. This strategy effectively allows the FCIQMC dynamics to a priori exclude electronic configurations that are not allowed by GAS restrictions. Stochastic-GAS reduced density matrices are stochastically sampled, allowing orbital relaxations via Stochastic-GASSCF, and direct evaluation of properties that can be extracted from density matrices, such as the spin expectation value. Three test case applications have been chosen to demonstrate the flexibility of Stochastic-GAS: (a) the Stochastic-GASSCF optimization of a stack of five benzene molecules, that shows the applicability of Stochastic-GAS towards fragment-based chemical systems; (b) an uncontracted stochastic MRCISD calculation that correlates 96 electrons and 159 molecular orbitals, and uses a large (32, 34) active space reference wave function for an Fe(II)-porphyrin model system, showing how GAS can be applied to systematically recover dynamic electron correlation, and how in the specific case of the Fe(II)-porphyrin dynamic correlation further differentially stabilizes the triplet over the quintet spin state; (c) the study of an Fe4S4 cluster's spin-ladder energetics via highly truncated stochastic-GAS wave functions, where we show how GAS can be applied to understand the competing spin-exchange and charge-transfer correlating mechanisms in stabilizing different spin-states.

The atomic properties have been studied for He-like ions (He atom, Li+, Be2+ and B3+ions). These properties included, the atomic form factor f(S), electron density at the nucleus , nuclear magnetic shielding constant and diamagnetic susceptibility ,which are very important in the study of physical properties of the atoms and ions. For these purpose two types of the wave functions applied are used, the Hartree-Fock (HF) waves function (uncorrelated) and the Configuration interaction (CI) wave function (correlated). All the results and the behaviors obtained in this work have been discussed, interpreted and compared with those previously obtained.

The ratios of the inter-multiplet separations for the lowest states of O, O+and O++obtained by Slater's method depart considerably from the observed values. In this method it is assumed that matrix elements of the Hamiltonian involving two different configurations are negligible, so that each state can be described by a single configuration, whereas these matrix elements are probably appreciable, and a better approximation is obtained by use of a wave function corresponding to a superposition of more than one configuration. The effect of this superposition of configurations has been called “configuration interaction”, and the general theory of it is discussed in Condon and Shortley'sTheory of atomic spectra, Chap. xv. It is shown that it occurs only between terms of the sameLandS, and of the same parity (∑leven or odd). Few quantitative applications, however, have yet been made. A calculation by Bacher for Mg shows that the effect can be considerable although the states are quite widely separated.
