A new size-consistent multiconfiguration perturbation theory (SC2-MCPT) ensures accurate energy calculations at second order. This method improves upon existing theories for reliable chemical predictions.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Multiconfiguration perturbation theory (MCPT) is a key method in quantum chemistry.
  • Ensuring size consistency in theoretical models is crucial for accurate energy calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To ensure the modified theory, SC2-MCPT, achieves size consistency at second order in energy.

Main Methods:

  • Modified the zero-order Hamiltonian operator by omitting projectors.
  • Constructed energy denominators as differences of one-particle energies.
  • Developed the size-consistent at second order MCPT (SC2-MCPT).

Main Results:
