    CISD

    DESCRIPTION

    These method keywords request a Hartree-Fock calculation followed by configuration interaction with all double substitutions (CID) or all single and double substitutions (CISD) from the Hartree-Fock reference determinant [Pople77, Raghavachari80a, Raghavachari81]. CI is a synonym for CISD.

    OPTIONS

    FC
    All frozen core options are available with this keyword. See the discussion of the FC options for full information.

    Conver=N
    Sets the convergence calculations to 10-N on the energy and 10-(N-2) on the wavefunction. The default is N=7 for single points and N=8 for gradients.

    MaxCyc=n
    Specifies the maximum number of cycles for CISD calculations.

    SaveAmplitudes
    Saves the converged amplitudes in the checkpoint file for use in a subsequent calculation (e.g., using a larger basis set). Using this option results in a very large checkpoint file, but also may significantly speed up later calculations.

    ReadAmplitudes
    Reads the converged amplitudes from the checkpoint file (if present). Note that the new calculation can use a different basis set, method (if applicable), etc. than the original one.

    AVAILABILITY

    Energies, analytic gradients, and numerical frequencies.

    EXAMPLES

    The CI energy appears in the output as follows:

    DE(CI)=    -.48299990D-01        E(CI)=       -.75009023292D+02
    NORM(A) =   .10129586D+01

    The output following the final CI iteration gives the predicted total energy. The second output line displays the value of Norm(A). Norm(A)–1 gives a measure of the correlation correction to the wavefunction; the coefficient of the HF configuration is thus 1/Norm(A). Note that the wavefunction is stored in intermediate normalization; that is:

    Wavefunction in Intermediate Normalization
    Wavefunction in Intermediate Normalization

    where Ψ0 is the Hartree-Fock determinant and has a coefficient of 1 (which is what intermediate normalization means). Norm(A) is the factor by which to divide the wavefunction as given above to fully normalize it. Thus:

    Fully Normalized Wavefunction
    Fully Normalized Wavefunction

    The coefficient of the Hartree-Fock determinant in the fully normalized wavefunction is then 1/Norm(A), the coefficient of singly-excited determinant Ψi→a is Tia/Norm(A), and so on.
