A comparative study of independent particle model based approaches for thermal averages
Subrata Banik Tapta Kanchan Roy M Durga Prasad
A comparative study is done on thermal average calculation by using the state specific vibrational self-consistent field method (ss-VSCF), the virtual vibrational self-consistent field (v-VSCF) method and the thermal self-consistent field (t-SCF) method. The different thermodynamic properties and expectation values are calculated using these three methods and the results are compared with full configuration interaction method (FVCI). We find that among these three independent particle model based methods, the ss-VSCF method provides most accurate results in the thermal averages followed by t-SCF and the v-VSCF is the least accurate. However, the ss-VSCF is found to be computationally very expensive for the large molecules. The t-SCF gives better accuracy compared to the v-VSCF counterpart especially at higher temperatures.

We propose a perturbative approximation to the vibrational coupled cluster method in bosonic representation to reduce the cost of calculating the cluster matrix elements by considering only the first order of S and r for the construction of the effective Hamiltonian ese-SHeSes. With the systematic analysis of theresults of two molecules, H2O and 1,1-difluoroethylene, we find that the accuracy of the transition energies with such low order approximation is comparable to the fully converged VCCM

In this work, we present a systematic study on the effect of non-local Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange term of density functional methods on the vibrational description of polyatomic molecules. Working with three different functionals PBE0, B3LYP, and B2PLYP, we find that the standard deviations of errors with different amounts of HF exchange term in the functionals are well fitted with cubic polynomials. Sensitivity of the accuracy of vibrational frequencies with the HF exchange differs for different types of vibrations (e.g., high energy hydrogen stretching modes, stretching modes, bending modes, etc.). The wavenumbers decrease systematically with the increasing HF exchange in the functional as a result of the decrease in the geometric parameters at the equilibrium structures. The changes in harmonic wavenumbers are significant, and the anharmonic corrections are much less affected. The magnitudes of minimum errors with optimum values of the HF exchange terms differ from the default formulation.
