Xuanyuan

Xuanyuan is used to calculate one electron and two electron integrals. It is named after Chinese ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi.

General keywords

Direct

Ask for integral direct calculations.

Schwarz

Used with direct, ask for Schwarz equality prescreening.

Examples:

$xuanyuan
Direct
Schwarz

Maxmem

Set maximum memory used in integral calculation. Unit can be MW and GW, i.e. Mega Words and Giga Words

Examples:

$xuanyuan
Maxmem
  512MW 
$end

RS

• Range separation ERIs required. No default value. Suggested value: 0.33.

Examples:

$xuanyuan
Rs
 0.33

Scalar & Heff

Scalar is a keyword to turn on scalar relativistic effects using sf-X2C (Heff=3) by default.

Other options for Heff are (0, nonrelativistic; 1, sf-ZORA; 2, sf-IORA; 3/4, sf-X2C; 5, sf-X2C+so-DKH3 (spin-free); 21, sf-X2C with gradients)

Examples:

$xuanyuan
scalar
heff
3

Socint & Hsoc

Socint is a keyword to turn on soc integral calculations in post-SCF steps. Default option for hsoc is 0 (only 1e-soc int).

Other options are used in soint_util/somf2e.F90 for choosing different combinations of so1e and so2e operators.

0 so-1e

1 so-1e + somf (two-electron spin-orbit interaction is included via an effective fock operator)

2 so-1e + somf-1c (one-center approximation)

3 so-1e + somf-1c / no soo (turn off spin-other-orbit contributions)

4 so-1e + somf-1c / no soo + WSO_XC (use dft xc functional as soo part)

5 so-1e + somf-1c / no soo + WSO_XC(-2x: following Neese's paper scale dft part by -2 to mimic soo part)

These options plus 10 gives the operators in BP approximations. In practice, hsoc=1 is the most accurate, and hsoc=2 is preferred for large molecules.

Note if heff=5, then the one-electron part will be calculated in xuanyuan and stored in disc for so-DKH3 type one-electron spin-orbit term. The accuracy of such operator requires further tests.

Examples:

$xuanyuan
scalar
heff
3
socint
hsoc
2

Nuclear & Inuc

Inuc defines the nuclear charge distribution used in the V and pVp integrals, which can be -1 for point charge model (debug only), 0 for point charge model (default), 1 for finite nucleus model by an s-type Gaussian function, and other finite nucleus models (N.Y.I.).

For Za < 110, the nuclear charge radii are taken from Ref.[Visscher1997] (in a.u).

For Za ≥ 110, the nuclear charge radius is 0.57 + 0.836 * A^1/3 (in fm), where the isotope mass number A is estimated by Za according to the relationship A(Za) = 0.004467 * Za² + 2.163 * Za - 1.168. See Appendix A in Ref.[Andrae2000] and Ref.[Andrae2002].

NOTE: the finite nucleus model has been implemented only in scalar calculations at present, but will be used in SOC calculations soon.

Cholesky

• The following line contains a string and a float number. Set method and threshold of ERI Cholesky decomposition. S-CD for standard CD. 1c-CD for one center Cholesky decomposition.

Examples:

$xuanyuan

Expert keywords

NoCheck

For Heff=21 only: check inverse variational collapse (IVC; see Ref.[Liu2007]). Stop (0; default) or not (1) in the case of IVC.

IVC may lead to numerical instability, which may be serious in geometry optimization.

NRDebug

In relativistic calculations, use a C-light of 10^8 to reproduce non-relativistic results (for debug only).
