Development, validation, and applications of parallel implementations of multireference coupled cluster theories


EMSL Project ID
44892

Abstract

In this project we are requesting copious amounts of computer time to develop, test, and apply
a new generation of highly scalable multireference coupled cluster (MRCC) codes for high-precision electronic structure calculations. These tools will enable us to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy and provide benchmark results for systems composed of about one hundred correlated electrons and several hundred basis functions. We are planning to use multireference methods in studies of new generations of selective catalysts and the chemistry of light harvesting systems, where the reaction mechanisms involve species which require multireference level descriptions. The newly developed capabilities will be available in a new NWCHEM release.
