EBEST (DMC only) Best estimate <strong>of</strong> the ground-state energy (mixed estimate);<br />

ACC (DMC only) Acceptance ratio at this time step;<br />

TEFF (DMC only) Effective time step;<br />

DIPOLE1–3 x-, y- and z-components <strong>of</strong> the dipole moment.<br />

DIPOLESQ Squared magnitude <strong>of</strong> the dipole moment.<br />

FUTURE0–10 (DMC only) Future-walking data.<br />

• The end <strong>of</strong> equilibration and the start <strong>of</strong> statistics accumulation in DMC is indicated by the line<br />

‘#### START STATS’. If there is more than one occurrence <strong>of</strong> this line in the file then the last<br />

occurrence is taken to mark the boundary (though recent—10/2011—modifications to the code<br />

have sought to reduce the likelihood <strong>of</strong> this happening, since it can be confusing).<br />

7.11 Expectation-value file: expval.data<br />

The expval.data file may contain a large variety <strong>of</strong> data sets. This specification describes the<br />

format <strong>of</strong> the density, spin density, spin-density matrix, reciprocal-space pair-correlation function,<br />

spherically averaged pair-correlation function, structure factor, spherically averaged structure factor,<br />

one-electron density matrix, two-electron density matrix, and momentum density sets. When new<br />

expectation values are implemented in casino, appropriate data sets can be added to this file. Each<br />

set is optional. The overall format is the same as that <strong>of</strong> correlation.data, as described in Appendix<br />

D. The expval.data file also acts as an input file. If a data set is already present and casino is<br />

asked to accumulate data for that particular set then the newly accumulated data will be added to<br />

the existing data.<br />

The format <strong>of</strong> the expval.data file is as follows. (Note that the text in square brackets below should<br />

not actually appear in the file.)<br />
