The Kohn-Sham module performs *Restricted* Kohn-Sham calculations (the
|
|
spatial part of the |MOs| is common for alpha and beta spinorbitals).
|
|
|
|
The Kohn-Sham in an SCF and therefore is based on the ``scf_utils`` structure.
|
|
It performs the following actions:
|
|
|
|
#. Compute/Read all the one- and two-electron integrals, and store them in memory
|
|
#. Check in the |EZFIO| database if there is a set of |MOs|. If there is, it
|
|
will read them as initial guess. Otherwise, it will create a guess.
|
|
#. Perform the |SCF| iterations
|
|
|
|
The definition of the Fock matrix is in :file:`kohn_sham fock_matrix_ks.irp.f`
|
|
For the keywords related to the |SCF| procedure, see the ``scf_utils`` directory where you will find all options.
|
|
The main are:
|
|
|
|
#. :option:`scf_utils thresh_scf`
|
|
#. :option:`scf_utils level_shift`
|
|
|
|
At each iteration, the |MOs| are saved in the |EZFIO| database. Hence, if the calculation
|
|
crashes for any unexpected reason, the calculation can be restarted by running again
|
|
the |SCF| with the same |EZFIO| database.
|
|
|
|
The `DIIS`_ algorithm is implemented, as well as the `level-shifting`_ method.
|
|
If the |SCF| does not converge, try again with a higher value of :option:`level_shift`.
|
|
|
|
To start a calculation from scratch, the simplest way is to remove the
|
|
``mo_basis`` directory from the |EZFIO| database, and run the |SCF| again.
