7.10.26 Non-Iterative Triples Corrections to EOM-CCSD and CCSD

(February 4, 2022)

The effect of triple excitations to EOM-CCSD energies can be included via perturbation theory in an economical N7 computational scheme. Using EOM-CCSD wave functions as zero-order wave functions, the second order triples correction to the μth EOM-EE or SF state is:

ΔEμ(2)=-136i,j,ka,b,cσ~ijkabc(μ)σijkabc(μ)Dijkabc-ωμ (7.73)

where i,j and k denote occupied orbitals, and a,b and c are virtual orbital indices. ωμ is the EOM-CCSD excitation energy of the μth state. The quantities σ~ and σ are:

σ~ijkabc(μ) = Φ0|(L1μ+L2μ)(He(T1+T2))c|Φijkabc (7.74)
σijkabc(μ) = Φijkabc|[He(T1+T2)(R0μ+R1μ+R2μ)]c|Φ0

where, the L and R are left and right eigen-vectors for μth state. Two different choices of the denominator, Dijkabc, define the (dT) and (fT) variants of the correction. In (fT), Dijkabc is just Hartree-Fock orbital energy differences. A more accurate (but not fully orbital invariant) (dT) correction employs the complete three body diagonal of H¯, Φijkabc|(He(T1+T2))C|Φijkabc, Dijkabcas a denominator. For the reference (e.g., a ground-state CCSD wave function), the (fT) and (dT) corrections are identical to the CCSD(2)T and CR-CCSD(T)L corrections of Piecuch and coworkers.895

The EOM-SF-CCSD(dT) and EOM-SF-CCSD(fT) methods yield a systematic improvement over EOM-SF-CCSD bringing the errors below 1 kcal/mol. For theoretical background and detailed benchmarks, see Ref. 730.

Similar corrections are available for EOM-IP-CCSD,731 where triples correspond to 3h2p excitations and EOM-EA-CCSD, where triples correspond to 2h3p excitations.

Note:  Due to the orbital non-invariance problem, using (dT) correction is discouraged.

Note:  EOM-IP-CCSD(fT) correction is now available both in CCMAN and CCMAN2 .
