Xi'an-CI Program

   Xi’an-CI program generates Multi Reference SDCI (MRCISD) wavefunctions (including internal contracted MRCISD on several different level accuracy), N-electron Valence states Second Order Perturbation Theory (including multi-state NEVPT2 (MS-NEVPT2), N-electron Valence states Third Order Perturbation Theory (NEVPT3), Static-Dynamic-Static Second Order Perturbation Theory (SDSPT2), Static-Dynamic-Static Configuration Interaction (SDSCI), Configuration Based Multi Reference Second Order Perturbation Theory (CBMRPT2) and Configuration Based Multi Reference Third Order Perturbation Theory (CBMRPT3). This program is based on hole-particle symmetry and GUGA for the computation of CI matrix elements. The program can calculate several eigenvectors simultaneously.
   Xi’an-CI program is written by Zhenyi Wen, Yubin Wang, Zhengting Gan, Bingbing Suo and Yibo Lei (Institute of Modern Physics, Northwest University, China).

General keywords

Comment:

   If no keyword is used, xianci module will read information from mcscf and traint modules and then calculate Fully internal contracted MRCISD. 

Electron

Example:

Electron
 30

nroot

Example:

roots

Example:

istate

Example:

istate
2    !the total number of the selected roots
1 3  ! select the first and third roots.

Symm

Example:

Spin

core

Example:

Dele

Example:

ORBTXT

set to read BDF_WorkDir text orbital file, such as $BDF_WORKDIR/$BDFTASK.inporb

Example:

Orbtxt
inporb

XvrUse

The keyword for alternatively deleting virtual MOs by MCSCF XVR when keyword 'Dele' are not used to set delete MOs. Default is .false. However, the keyword 'Dele' is prior to 'XvrUse'.

QNEX

true without DVD approximation, default = false with DVD approximation.

Inactive

Example:

Close

Example:

Active

Example:

Comment:

  If the above keywords are not set. the mcscf and traint modules information will be used. 

SubDRT

Example:

Comment:

  If the above keywords are not set. the mcscf and traint modules information will be used. 

XSDSCI

keyword has the same funtion as the old keyword of eSDSCI.

Example:

 XSDSCI

VSD

Use Virtual Space Decompostion (VSD) formed MOs to calculate XSDSCI, so that this keyword is combined with XSDSCI. VSD is used to separate Virtual MOs of large basis set by the selection of N(L)-N_occ of nonzero SVD value of <Psi(vir)|Phi(projected small basis set)>. This divide Virtual space into strong correlated space and weak correlated space, respectively.

Example: test126.inp

Notice : The number of virtual MOs by large basis set must be larger than the number of small basis set.

NoVDVP

Skip calculation of \bar(V)D and \bar(V)P for MRPT2.

Example: test148.inp

Notice : The number of virtual MOs by large basis set must be larger than the number of small basis set.

MRCI

Example:

 MRCI

Qss

Qms

H0Fock

H0Dyall

SAFOCK

SSFOCK

SDFOCK

CSFiCI

CFGiCI

Cmin

Pmin

When do not use this keyword the E(H0) energy is equal to iCISCF energy and iCIPT2 energy will be added to the following MRCISD or MRPT2. This keyword is equal to 'CSFCRI'.

Qmin

QminDV

QminVD

QminDD

QminPV

QminVP

Qfix

ICreduce

NoICredu

ReadDRT

Nexci

Example:

Nexci

1

CVS

Core Valence Separation for Core excitation for GUGA if use this keyword. Default = .false.

Example:

GAS

several lines should be provided for controlling GASSCF calculations. Default is read from MCSCF and needs not to set. Line 1: number for GAS spaces, like GAS1, GAS2, GAS3, .... Line 2: minimum electron occupation numbers for the GAS spaces. Line 3: maximum electron occupation numbers for the GAS spaces. From Line 4 to Line (GAS spaces number plus 3) set active orbital with symmetry of these GAS spaces.

Example:

gas
2    ! there are two GAS spaces.
2 4  ! minimum electron occupation numbers for the GAS spaces.
4 10 ! maximum electron occupation numbers for the GAS spaces.
2 0 0 0  ! active orbitals of each irreps of GAS1
2 0 2 2  ! active orbitals of each irreps of GAS2.

Comment:

   With keyword 'GAS' setting, keywords 'active' is useless and can be missing.

Comment:

  If no keyword is set for perturbation theory calculation in the following, xianci module will calculate MRCISD in default.
