Abstract:
We present an efficient implementation of the second- and third-order single-reference algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) theory for electron attachment and ionization energies and spectra [EA/IP-ADC(n), n = 2, 3]. Our new EA/IP-ADC program features spin adaptation for closed-shell systems, density fitting for efficient handling of the two-electron integral tensors, and vectorized and parallel implementation of tensor contractions. We demonstrate capabilities of our efficient implementation by applying the EA/IP-ADC(n) (n = 2, 3) methods to compute the photoelectron spectrum of the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) radical, as well as the vertical and adiabatic electron affinities of TEMPO and two DNA base pairs (guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine). The spectra and electron affinities computed using large diffuse basis sets with up to 1028 molecular orbitals are found to be in good agreement with the best available results from the experiment and theoretical simulations.
