各种自然轨道作为大活性空间密度矩阵重整化群计算基础的评价

Assessment of various natural orbitals as the basis of large active space density matrix renormalization group calculations

Yingjin Ma, Haibo Ma

摘要:

众所周知,不仅轨道排序,而且作为基础的轨道本身的选择可以显著地影响密度矩阵重整化群(DMRG)计算的计算效率。在这项研究中,为了评估使用各种自然轨道(NO)作为DMRG基础的效率,我们使用不同的基础进行了基准DMRG计算,其中包括通过各种传统电子相关方法获得的NO,以及从初步中等DMRG计算获得的NO(例如,少于500个国家)。测试的系统包括N $_2$,过渡金属Cr $_2$系统,以及在平衡和解离条件下的1-D氢多自由基链系统和2-D氢聚集体。结果表明,一个很好的折衷之间的要求低计算成本的收购NO和高效率的NO的DMRG计算的基础上的需求可能是非常依赖于所研究的系统的不同的电子相关特性和活性空间的大小。它还表明,DMRG-完整的主动空间构型相互作用(DMRG-CASCI)计算的基础上精心选择的NO可以提供一个更便宜的替代标准DMRG-CASSCF计算,避免收敛困难的轨道优化大的活动空间。本文还讨论了不同NO有序化方案对DMRG-CASCI计算的影响。

英文摘要:

It is well-known that not only the orbital ordering but also the choice of the orbitals themselves as the basis may significantly influence the computational efficiency of density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations. In this study, for assessing the efficiency of using various natural orbitals (NOs) as the DMRG basis, we performed benchmark DMRG calculations with different bases, which included the NOs obtained by various traditional electron correlation methods, as well as NOs acquired from preliminary moderate DMRG calculations (e.g., preserved states less than 500). The tested systems included N$_2$, transition metal Cr$_2$ systems, as well as 1-D hydrogen polyradical chain systems under equilibrium and dissociation conditions and 2-D hydrogen aggregates. The results indicate that a good compromise between the requirement for low computational costs of acquiring NOs and the demand for high efficiency of NOs as the basis of DMRG calculations may be very dependent on the studied systems' diverse electron correlation characteristics and the size of the active space. It is also shown that a DMRG-complete active space configuration interaction (DMRG-CASCI) calculation in a basis of carefully chosen NOs can provide a less expensive alternative to the standard DMRG-CASSCF calculation and avoid the convergence difficulties of orbital optimization for large active spaces. The effect of different NO ordering schemes on DMRG-CASCI calculations is also discussed.
