7.10 Coupled-Cluster Excited-State and Open-Shell Methods

7.10.19 EOM-CC Optimization and Properties Job Control

CC_STATE_TO_OPT
       Specifies which state to optimize (or from which state compute EOM-EOM inter-state properties).
TYPE:
       INTEGER ARRAY
DEFAULT:
       None
OPTIONS:
       [i,j] optimize the jth state of the ith irrep.
RECOMMENDATION:
       None

Note:  The state number should be smaller or equal to the number of excited states calculated in the corresponding irrep.

Note:  If analytic gradients are not available, the finite difference calculations will be performed and the symmetry will be turned off. In this case, CC_STATE_TO_OPT should be specified assuming C1 symmetry, i.e., as [1,N] where N is the number of state to optimize (the states are numbered from 1).

CC_EOM_PROP
       Whether or not the non-relaxed (expectation value) one-particle EOM-CCSD target state properties will be calculated. The properties currently include permanent dipole moment, angular momentum projections, the second moments X2, Y2, and Z2 of electron density, and the total R2=X2+Y2+Z2 (in atomic units). Incompatible with JOBTYPE=FORCE, OPT, FREQ.
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       FALSE (no one-particle properties will be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       FALSE, TRUE
RECOMMENDATION:
       Additional equations (EOM-CCSD equations for the left eigenvectors) need to be solved for properties, approximately doubling the cost of calculation for each irrep. The cost of the one-particle properties calculation itself is low. The one-particle density of an EOM-CCSD target state can be analyzed with NBO or libwfa packages by specifying the state with CC_STATE_TO_OPT and requesting NBO = TRUE and CC_EOM_PROP = TRUE.

CC_TRANS_PROP
       Whether or not the transition dipole moment (in atomic units) and oscillator strength for the EOM-CCSD target states will be calculated. By default, the transition dipole moment and angular momentum matrix elements are calculated between the CCSD reference and the EOM-CCSD target states. In order to calculate transition dipole moment and angular momentum matrix elements between a set of EOM-CCSD states and another EOM-CCSD state, the CC_STATE_TO_OPT must be specified for this state.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (no transition properties will be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       1 (calculate transition properties between all computed EOM state and the reference state) 2 (calculate transition properties between all pairs of EOM states)
RECOMMENDATION:
       Additional equations (for the left EOM-CCSD eigenvectors plus lambda CCSD equations in case if transition properties between the CCSD reference and EOM-CCSD target states are requested) need to be solved for transition properties, approximately doubling the computational cost. The cost of the transition properties calculation itself is low.

Note:  When $trans_prop section is present in the input, it disables CC_TRANS_PROP rem.

CC_EOM_2PA
       Whether or not the transition moments and cross-sections for two-photon absorption will be calculated. By default, the transition moments are calculated between the CCSD reference and the EOM-CCSD target states. In order to calculate transition moments between a set of EOM-CCSD states and another EOM-CCSD state, the CC_STATE_TO_OPT must be specified for this state. If 2PA NTO analysis is requested, the CC_EOM_2PA value is redundant as long as CC_EOM_2PA >0.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (do not compute 2PA transition moments)
OPTIONS:
       1 Compute 2PA using the fastest algorithm (use σ~-intermediates for canonical and σ-intermediates for RI/CD response calculations). 2 Use σ-intermediates for 2PA response equation calculations. 3 Use σ~-intermediates for 2PA response equation calculations.
RECOMMENDATION:
       Additional response equations (6 for each target state) will be solved, which increases the cost of calculations. The cost of 2PA moments is about 10 times that of energy calculation. Use the default algorithm. Setting CC_EOM_2PA >0 turns on CC_TRANS_PROP.

CALC_SOC
       Whether or not the spin-orbit couplings between CC/EOM/ADC/CIS/TDDFT electronic states will be calculated. In the CC/EOM-CC suite, by default the couplings are calculated between the CCSD reference and the EOM-CCSD target states. In order to calculate couplings between EOM states, CC_STATE_TO_OPT must specify the initial EOM state. If NTO analysis is requested, analysis of spinless transition density matrices will be performed and the spin–orbit integrals over NTO pairs will be printed.
TYPE:
       INTEGER/LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       FALSE (no spin-orbit couplings will be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       0/FALSE (no spin-orbit couplings will be calculated) 1/TRUE Activates SOC calculation. EOM-CC/EOM-MP2 only: spin-orbit couplings will be computed with the new code with L+/L- averaging 2 EOM-CC/EOM-MP2 only: spin-orbit couplings will be computed with the new code without L+/L- averaging 3 EOM-CC/EOM-MP2 only: spin-orbit couplings will be computed with the legacy code
RECOMMENDATION:
       CCMAN2 supports several variants of SOC calculation for EOM-CC/EOM-MP2 methods. One-electron and mean-field two-electron SOCs will be computed by default. To enable full two-electron SOCs, two-particle EOM properties must be turned on (see CC_EOM_PROP_TE).

CALC_NAC
       Whether or not non-adiabatic couplings will be calculated for the EOM-CC, CIS, and TDDFT wave functions.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (do not compute NAC)
OPTIONS:
       1 NYI for EOM-CC 2 Compute NACs using Szalay’s approach (this what needs to be specified for EOM-CC).
RECOMMENDATION:
       Additional response equations will be solved and gradients for all EOM states and for summed states will be computed, which increases the cost of calculations. Request only when needed and do not ask for too many EOM states.

CC_POL
       Specifies the approach for calculating the polarizability of the CCSD wave function.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (CCSD polarizability will not be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       1 (analytic-derivative or response-theory mixed symmetric-asymmetric approach) 2 (analytic-derivative or response-theory asymmetric approach) 3 (expectation-value approach with right response intermediates) 4 (expectation-value approach with left response intermediates)
RECOMMENDATION:
       CCSD polarizabilities are expensive since they require solving three/six (for static) or six/twelve (for dynamical) additional response equations. Do no request this property unless you need it.

EOM_POL
       Specifies the approach for calculating the polarizability of the EOM-CCSD wave function.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (EOM-CCSD polarizability will not be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       1 (analytic-derivative or response-theory mixed symmetric-asymmetric approach) 2 (analytic-derivative or response-theory asymmetric approach) 3 (expectation-value approach with right response intermediates) 4 (expectation-value approach with left response intermediates)
RECOMMENDATION:
       EOM-CCSD polarizabilities are expensive since they require solving three/nine (for static) or six/eighteen (for dynamical) additional response equations. Do no request this property unless you need it.

CC_EOM_PROP_TE
       Request for calculation of non-relaxed two-particle EOM-CC properties. The two-particle properties currently include S2. The one-particle properties also will be calculated, since the additional cost of the one-particle properties calculation is inferior compared to the cost of S2. The variable CC_EOM_PROP must be also set to TRUE. Alternatively, CC_CALC_SSQ can be used to request S2 calculation.
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       FALSE (no two-particle properties will be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       FALSE, TRUE
RECOMMENDATION:
       The two-particle properties are computationally expensive since they require calculation and use of the two-particle density matrix (the cost is approximately the same as the cost of an analytic gradient calculation). Do not request the two-particle properties unless you really need them.

CC_FULLRESPONSE
       Fully relaxed properties (with or without orbital relaxation terms) will be computed. The variable CC_EOM_PROP must be also set to TRUE.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 (no amplitude and orbital response will be calculated)
OPTIONS:
       1 (both amplitude and orbital response will be calculated) 2 (only amplitude response will be calculated)
RECOMMENDATION:
       Not available for non-UHF/RHF references. Only available for EOM/CI methods for which analytic gradients are available.

CC_SYMMETRY
       Controls the use of symmetry in coupled-cluster calculations
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       TRUE
OPTIONS:
       TRUE Use the point group symmetry of the molecule FALSE Do not use point group symmetry (all states will be of A symmetry).
RECOMMENDATION:
       It is automatically turned off for any finite difference calculations, e.g. second derivatives.

STATE_ANALYSIS
       Activates excited state analyses using libwfa.
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       FALSE (no excited state analyses)
OPTIONS:
       TRUE, FALSE
RECOMMENDATION:
       Set to TRUE if excited state analysis is required, but also if plots of densities or orbitals are needed. For details see Section 10.2.6.

G_TENSOR
       Activates g-tensor calculation.
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       FALSE
OPTIONS:
       FALSE (or 0) Don’t calculate g-tensor TRUE (or 1) Calculate g-tensor.
RECOMMENDATION:
       None.

Note:  g-Tensor calculations are only availble for CCSD.
