Special Relativity
  • Essential to describe fast particles.
  • Speed of light (300,000,000 m/s) is upper limit
    to velocity.
  • Mass of particle depends on its velocity
  • From exact solution of Schrödinger equation for
    one electron around a nucleus (H-like) with
    charge 80 (Hg)
  • - Mean velocity is 58 of speed of light
  • - Electron mass increases by 23

4
Heavy Elements Relativity
  • Not the weight but the nuclear charge Z matters
  • Heavy Elements have a large Z and many electrons
  • Everything beyond Ln is heavy. Superheavy are
    the new elements (Zgt100)
  • Electrons move fast in all heavy element molecules

5
Visible Relativistic Effects
  • Non-relativistic gold is silver
  • The 5d-6s transition is shifted from the UV to
    the visible part of the spectrum by relativistic
    effects
  • Phosphorescence
  • Singlet-triplet transitions are allowed because
    the non-relativistic quantum numbers are not exact

    embarrassingly local quantity !

63
Core electrons choice of active space
  • All-electron correlation calculations are not
    feasible
  • Approximation of core electrons
  • Correlate the core electrons at a lower level of
    theory (e.g. MP2)
  • Include core electrons only at HF level of theory

    Core Potential
  • Error correction and additional features
  • Estimate higher order correlation effects in
    another basis set
  • Use a core correlation potential
  • Use a core polarization potential
  • Include valence relativistic effects in RECP

64
Valence electrons choice of method
  • Method depends on system studied
  • Closed shells and simple open shells
  • Use a size-extensive and economical method
  • SOC-inclusive method may be required
  • Complicated open shells, bond breaking
  • MCSCF, Multireference CI or MR-CC
  • SOC-inclusive methods are usually required
  • Try to identify active center

65
Direct Configuration Interaction
  • Write wave function as linear combination of
    determinants
  • Define sigma and error vector
  • Obtain sigma vector directly from MO-integrals

66
Coupling Coefficients
  • SOC prohibits use of alpha and beta-strings or
    other spin-adapted schemes !
  • Insert resolution of identity to work with
    one-electron coupling coefficients
  • Use graphical techniques to index determinants
    and evaluate coupling coefficients (/-1 or 0)
  • Use Abelian point group symmetry if possible
  • Evaluation may be rate-determining step in
    general CI calculations

67
Reverse lexical ordering of determinants
  • Example 246 is represented by the thick line
    in the graph
  • Vertex weights W(P,k) are number of paths to
    vertex
  • Recursion formula
  • W(P, k) W(P-1, k-1) W(P-1, k)
  • Arc weights Y (P,k)
  • Vertical arcs have zero weight.
  • Weight of arc Y(P,k) connecting (P-1, k-1) and
    (P,k) is W(P-1, k).
  • If a vertex (P-1, k) lies outside the graph, its
    weight and the weight of Y(P, k) are zero.
  • Index of determinant is

68
Evaluation of coupling coefficients
  • Example Coupling between 236 and 356 is a
    loop in the graph
  • Value of coupling coefficients is
  • Example
  • nLoop 1, ? 13, ? 19
  • This means
  • Multiply integral (2,5) with CI coefficient 19
    to contribute to sigma vector element 13
  • Split interactions in head, loop tail

69
Fast evaluation of coupling coefficients
  • ?? 1 YHead  YTail Yupper
  • n? 1 YHead  YTail Ylower
  • Graphs facilitates analysis, evaluation and
    storage of couplings for different integral
    classes.
  • E.g. loops over head will give short loops with
    stride 1
  • Scheme may be adapted to include Abelian symmetry
  • Division of space into restricted active
    subspaces can be used to make the algorithms more
    efficient at the expensive of increasing code
    length

70
Kramers-restricted CI
  • Rewrite Hamiltonian in terms of Kramers pairs
  • Block CI-vector by counting the number of
    unpaired electrons
  • Use modified non-relativistic CI algorithms

71
Kramers-restricted CI
  • X-operators are defined as linear combinations of
    the original excitation operators, e.g.
  • Reduces memory that is needed for the algorithm
  • Facilitates approximations and reduction to
    spinfree form

72
How to include an SO-operator in CI
  • 1. First order quasi-degenerate perturbation
    theory (inclusion after CI step)
  • Can also be used with unbound operators (Pauli
    form)
  • Is computationally efficient (one step procedure)
  • Offers convenient (conventional) interpretation
    scheme
  • Important couplings to excited states may be
    missed
  • 2. Limited variational theory (inclusion in CI
    step)
  • Unbound operators (Pauli form) are acceptable
  • Does only increase the CI effort, no influence on
    HF and MO-transformation
  • Interpretation is non-conventional
  • Accuracy is limited when orbital relaxation
    effects are important
  • 3. Variational theory (inclusion in SCF step)
  • Can only be used with bound operators
  • Is computationally demanding (symmetry breaking
    already in SCF)
  • Interpretation is non-conventional
  • Should be the most accurate theory

73
Coupled Cluster
  • Write wave function in exponential form
  • CCSD Restriction to single double excitations
  • Energy expression (I,J occupied, A, B virtual)

74
The CCSD equations
  • Equations for T1 and T2 amplitudes

75
The CCSD intermediates
  • Intermediates used in T1 and T2 equations

76
Evaluation of the ltvvvvgt integral contribution
  • Contribution to be evaluated
  • Use point group symmetry
  • Write contraction as BLAS DGEMM or ZGEMM
  • Parallelize over integral batches

77
RELCCSD implementation
  • Preliminary information consists of two files
    containing symmetry information and the
    transformed one- and two-electron integrals.
  • Symmetry-information is only passed on via the
    appropriate multiplication table of an Abelian
    group. This was used to run non-relativistic
    calculations efficiently by defining the table as
    the direct product of a single group with a
    subgroup of SU(2).
  • All contractions are performed via calls to
    BLAS-routines (mostly DGEMM).
  • Contractions involving the largest integral
    classes are parellized by distributing the
    MO-integrals.
  • Prerequisite is that all amplitudes can be held
    in memory simultaneously.

78
Kramers-restricted CC
  • For closed shells systems one can define
  • Rewrite equations in terms of unique quantities
  • Reduction of factor 2 in number of amplitudes
  • Reduction by factor 8 in number of operations
    necessary
  • Comparison with optimal spinfree algorithm
  • KRCCSD is max. 32 times more expensive than NR
    SR-CCSD

79
The Fock space CCSD method
  • Single reference CCSD Fock space CCSD
  • The states in the model space correspond to
  • Annihilation of an electron from an active
    occupied orbital (1h,0e) sector Ionization energy
  • Creation of an electron in an active virtual
    orbital (0h, 1e) sector Electron Affinity
  • Beware of intruder states

80
Model spaces
  • Example One creation and one annihilation (1h,
    1e)
  • Excitation operators

81
Implementation of FSCCSD
  • 1. Take equations for T1 and T2 amplitudes
  • 2. Include the active virtuals in the occupied
    set
  • I ? E (0h,1e) sector
  • 3. Include the active occupied in the virtual set
  • A ? V (1h, 0e) sector
  • 4. Add the additional folded diagrams that
    involve the effective Hamiltonian (is calculated
    automatically as TEF or TVW parts of the extended
    array of T1 amplitudes)
  • 5. Solve equations sector by sector for improved
    convergence. Technically all amplitudes are
    calculated simultaneously.
  • Computational scaling (Nv)4 . (No)2 ? (NvNao)4
    . (NoNav)2
  • (Nv)2 . (No)4 ? (NvNao)2 . (NoNav)4
  • Feasible as long as Nav ltlt No

82
Parallelization
  • Distribution of work
  • Most steps are dominated by AO-integral
    evaluation and are parallelized by distributing
    over the integral calculation tasks (master-slave
    algorithm)
  • The CC algorithms are formulated in MO-basis and
    are parallelized by distribution of the
    transformed integrals (fixed distribution, no
    master necessary)
  • Difficult aspects
  • HF DFT the algorithms scale well but need
    substantial memory (due to the large Fock
    matrices on each node)
  • 4-index trade-off between CPU and memory
    efficiency is difficult for high-angular momentum
    function shells
  • CC communication of intermediate quantities is
    needed (synchronization steps) and slows down
    calculation on Beowulf-type architectures

83
Performance of parallel contractions
  • Small testcase
  • AlCl, 26 e, 70 orbitals
  • SGI Origin R1200 risc
  • Larger runs (e.g. CUO, 34e, 200 orbitals)
  • Itanium cluster PNNL, up to 128 nodes used, ATLAS
    library
  • Peak performance 300 Gflops in 4-virtual
    contraction
  • Overall performance is less due to communication
    overhead (standard MPI library) in other
    contractions, use up to 8 processors.

Extracting nuclear structure information
fromSpectroscopy Quantum Chemistry
  • Nuclear Quadrupole Moments
  • The coupling between the nuclear quadrupole
    moment Q and the electric field gradient (EFG) at
    the nucleus q gives an energy splitting that
    depends on the orientation of the nuclear spin.
    This can be observed with high precision in
    microwave (rotational) spectroscopy on diatomic
    molecules.
  • Quantum chemistry gives q and can thus be used to
    obtain accurate values of Q or to predict and
    rationalize NQR or NMR observations.

  • Mean absolute deviations
  • MAD(HF) gtgt MAD(DFT) gt MAD(MP2)
  • Computational Efficiency

    can well be used to test convergence with basis
    set.
  • Standard value for Al was confirmed, the values
    for Ga, In and I were to be revised.

89
Spin-Orbit CI
  • Obtain orbitals with the spinfree DC-HF method.
  • Add the SOC operator in the CI step
  • PT The active space consists of the valence np
    orbitals
  • SOCI-X CI with single excitations to virtuals
    below X au.

90
Thallium Fine Structure Splitting
  • Extend the active space with p-core orbitals
  • Allow single excitations from core to valence
  • Approximates proper orthogonalization condition
  • Full relaxation is necessary for quantitative
    accuracy

91
HI dipole moment motivation
  • Discrepancy between recent the DK SR calculations
    of Ilias et al. (TCA, 2003) and experiment.
  • Anomalous distance dependence of the dipole
    moment in contrast to the other hydrogen
    halides, the dipole moment of HI decreases around
    the equilibrium geometry, the maximum value of
    the dipole moment lies before Re.

92
Computational details
  • Basis Set
  • For H a slightly modified (and decontracted)
    basis of Sadlej.
  • For I Basis set optimization with respect to
    the dipole moment. We increase the basis until
    this property converges. First at the
    Dirac-Coulomb Hartree-Fock level and continue
    with Spin-Free CCSD.
  • Note we use fully uncontracted basis sets.
  • Correlation method
  • CCSD(T)
  • 26 electrons correlated
  • virtuals up to 50 au are taken into account
  • Hamiltonian
  • Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian
  • (SSSS) integrals neglected

93
Basis set convergence
94
Electron correlation
  • CCSD and CCSD(T) work very well (average
    deviation 1.2).
  • MP2 works well at Re but fails in describing the
    distance dependence.

95
Analysis of relativistic effects
96
Comparison with experiment
  • Experimental data H. Riris, C. B. Carlisle, D.
    E. Cooper, L.-G. Wang, T. F. Gallagher, and R. H.
    Tipping, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 146, 381 (1991).

97
HI conclusions
  • To obtain the right slope of the dipole moment
    function of HI both scalar relativistic and
    spin-orbit effects are important.
  • The right sign for the slope of the dipole moment
    function at Re in previous studies seems to be
    due to a fortituous cancellation of effects.
  • With the Dirac-Coulomb Coupled-Cluster method
    using a large basis set, we obtain excellent
    agreement between theory and experiment.
  • ? The good agreement between our state of the art
    calculations and experiment indicates that the
    experiment is accurate.
