expandmo

Module expandmo is used to expand molecular orbital from a small basis set into a large basis set. This module can be used to generate initial guess orbital of a large basis set calculation from the converged orbital of a small basis set calculation. Also, the expanded orbital can be used in dual-basis calculation approaches.

Examples

• Here, we would calculate CH2 molecule by a small basis set CC-PVDZ. Then the converged orbital will be expanded to aug-CC-PVDZ and used as the initial orbital for SCF calculation. The input file "ch2.inp" looks like

# First we perform a small basis set calculation by using CC-PVDZ.
