Routine<br />

Purpose<br />

qmc write<br />

Writes the gwfn.data file<br />

re sum<br />

Resums a CIS/TD-DFT wave function<br />

read G9xout Reads the output file produced by the gaussian job. Gets<br />

the nuclear-nuclear potential energy, CIS/TD-DFT/CAS<br />

expansion (if present) and HF eigenvalues<br />

read fchk<br />

Reads the formatted checkpoint file produced by the gaussian<br />

job. Gets the MOs etc.<br />

rejig<br />

MODULE—contains numsrt and hence prototypes it which<br />

is necessary because it has an optional argument<br />

resum cas<br />

Partially resums a CAS expansion<br />

set parameter values Sets the value <strong>of</strong> Pi and related constants<br />

shell centres Identifies the positions <strong>of</strong> the distinct shell centres and store<br />

the first shell index corresponding to each<br />

sum degen excite Called by analyse cis. Loops over excitations out <strong>of</strong> a<br />

given range (i–j) <strong>of</strong> (degenerate) occ. MOs and sums those<br />

that correspond to degenerate final (virtual) MOs. Outputs<br />

the results to a fromi j.dat file.<br />

user control<br />

Calls the major reading routines and asks the user about<br />

excited states and resumming<br />

wfn construct<br />

wfn test<br />

Plot an MO (debugging option). Called by wfn test<br />

Asks user about plotting and normalization testing. Optionally<br />

calls wfn construct and normalization check.<br />

8.6.5 Confession<br />

The guy who wrote this left Cambridge years ago and nobody here understands how this works or<br />

has ever used gaussian.<br />

Here is a sequence <strong>of</strong> emails between me (MDT) and Katie Schwarz which might help for some things.<br />

Dear Mike Towler,<br />

I am a graduate student in Richard Hennig’s group, and we have been studying<br />

the benzene dimer with <strong>CASINO</strong>. I have recently started performing CISD<br />

calculations in Gaussian03 for <strong>CASINO</strong>, and I spent a very long time trying<br />

to figure out how to output all <strong>of</strong> the determinant coefficients. I emailed<br />

Gaussian, and they suggested using the IOp 9/28, which has worked for me.<br />

Richard mentioned that this may also be useful to you (or to people who use<br />

the <strong>CASINO</strong> <strong>manual</strong>), so I am sending this information along.<br />

Hopefully it will save someone from scrolling through the IOps!<br />

-Katie Schwarz<br />

Dear Katie,<br />

Thanks for this info.<br />

However - I have to confess I’ve never used Gaussian or the converter (which<br />

was written by some student who disappeared about ten years ago) and I’m not<br />

quite sure what your email means. Could you elaborate?<br />

Also, someone just asked me whether the converter will work in the<br />

unrestricted CI case. Did you happen to notice whether this is the case? (just<br />

to save me the trouble <strong>of</strong> analyzing the source code - I presume the info is not<br />

in the <strong>manual</strong>..).<br />

Best wishes,<br />

Mike<br />

Hi Mike,<br />

To try to answer your question about gaussiantoqmc and the unrestricted CI<br />

case: I don’t think that gaussiantoqmc will work for full, unrestricted CI, and<br />

it definitely doesn’t work for unrestricted CISD. I personally couldn’t make<br />
