High Accuracy Modeling of Frequency Dependent Polarizabilities: Exploring the Cutting Edge Limits of NWChem


EMSL Project ID
26690

Abstract

To demonstrate the value of this new NWChem capability we propose to calculate the frequency dependent and static dipole polarizability for a selected series of very large molecular systems using CCSD and CCSD(T) levels of theory. Each individual calculation will require a significant fraction of the MSCF computer resource, ranging from 700-1400 processors. In addition to scientific insight, these capability class computations will enable us to assess the limits and scaling behavior of these methods on large computing resources. The molecular systems include tetracene, pentacene, hexacene, anthracene, pyrene¸ naphthalene, tri-phenylene, and selected buckyball systems ranging from C20-C50.
