|CASSCF| program with the CIPSI algorithm.
Example of inputs for GROUND STATE calculations
-----------------------------------------------
NOTICE :: FOR EXCITED STATES CALCULATIONS SEE THE FILE "example_casscf_multistate.sh"
a) Small active space : standard CASSCF
---------------------------------------
Let's do O2 (triplet) in aug-cc-pvdz with the following geometry (xyz format, Bohr units)
2
O 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -1.1408000000
O 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 1.1408000000
# Create the ezfio folder
qp create_ezfio -b aug-cc-pvdz O2.xyz -m 3 -a -o O2_avdz
# Start with an ROHF guess
qp run scf | tee ${EZFIO_FILE}.rohf.out
# Get the ROHF energy for check
qp get hartree_fock energy # should be -149.4684509
# Define the full valence active space: the two 1s are doubly occupied, the other 8 valence orbitals are active
# CASSCF(12e,10orb)
qp set_mo_class -c "[1-2]" -a "[3-10]" -v "[11-46]"
# Specify that you want an near exact CASSCF, i.e. the CIPSI selection will stop at pt2_max = 10^-10
qp set casscf_cipsi small_active_space True
# RUN THE CASSCF
qp run casscf | tee ${EZFIO_FILE}.casscf.out
# you should find around -149.7243542
b) Large active space : Exploit the selected CI in the active space
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#Let us start from the small active space calculation orbitals and add another 10 virtuals: CASSCF(12e,20orb)
qp set_mo_class -c "[1-2]" -a "[3-20]" -v "[21-46]"
# As this active space is larger, you unset the small_active_space feature
qp set casscf_cipsi small_active_space False
# As it is a large active space, the energy convergence thereshold is set to be 0.0001
qp run casscf | tee ${EZFIO_FILE}.casscf_large.out
# you should find around -149.9046
