Abstract:
We have developed a new program for carrying out improved internally contracted Multi-reference Configuration Interaction Singles and Doubles (i2cMRCISD) calculations. It is designed from the ground up to be used on distributed memory parallel computers. Tests show good scaling properties with the number of cores per node and the number nodes. This program features Gaussian basis sets with ℓ > 6; scalar special relativity via the spin-free method; convergence to C∞v, D∞v, or spherical electronic states; special code to determine Rydberg orbitals; both uncontracted and contracted MRCISD wavefunctions; one and two electron properties, including full spin-orbit matrix elements with the Breit interaction; analytic calculation of Born-Oppenheimer diagonal correction for multi-configuration Hartree-Fock wavefunctions; and analytic calculation of second order Born-Oppenheimer corrections for Hartree-Fock wavefunctions. The program can be obtained from software.nasa.gov.

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
