In the EOM-DEA method, the target states are described by 2p and 3p1h operators acting on N-2 electron reference881:
Ψk=RN+2Ψ0(N-2), | (7.61) |
and the excitation operator R has the following form:
R | = | 1/2∑abraba†b†+1/6∑iabcrabcia†b†c†i. | (7.62) |
EOM-DEA is useful for calculating diradical states including excited states beyond the SF manifold. In calculations of neutral diradicals, EOM-DEA should use +2 charged reference state. EOM-DEA is also suitable for describing certain types of doubly excited states, such as …(π)0(π*)2 in ethylene. An EOM-DEA calculation is invoked by using DEA_STATES, or DEA_SINGLETS and DEA_TRIPLETS. In more exotic calculations, such as EOM-DEA for open-shell references, DEA_AA_STATES, DEA_BB_STATES, and DEA_AB_STATES keywords might be useful. Both EOM-CCSD and EOM-MP2 variants are available.
Note: In some applications of EOM-DEA-CCSD, only 2p operators were included in the EOM part. These calculations correspond to energies obtained from EOM_PRECONV_DOUBLES = TRUE calculation.
