Abstract

It is shown that the effect of two-particle, two-hole excitations can be included in a self-consistent time-dependent Hartree—Fock model. Both corrected excitation energies and oscillator strengths are calculated. Especially the singlet spectrum is influenced by this perturbation.

Ab initio application of the equations-of-motion method to the excited states of allene, ketene and diazomethane
1985, Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM
The excitation energies of the low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states of the triatomic cumulenes, allene, ketene and diazomethane have been studied at non-empirical level with the equations-of-motion method by including both the 1p—1h and 2p—2h pairs. The theoretical vertical transition energies agree satisfactorily with observed bands and are compared with other ab-initio excited-state SCF and CI results. For all molecules the Rydberg functions are found to provide sizeable contributions to most of the excited states.

Polarization Propagator Calculations
1978, Advances in Quantum Chemistry
The polarization propagator is the double-time Green's function that describes the propagation of a density disturbance through an interacting system. The focus of this chapter is to show how the polarization propagator can be used advantageously in practical calculations of excitation properties of atomic, molecular, and metallic systems. The approximate polarization propagator through any order in electronic repulsion is symmetric under a transformation E → –E, that is, it can be represented in a spectral form. This is not the case for the corresponding particle-hole propagator for which only the positive energy spectrum is treated consistently through the required order. This deficiency of the particle-hole propagator has very little influence on the (positive) excitation energies, whereas the transition moments are rather poor in methods where the E→ – E symmetry of the propagator is not preserved. The particle-hole propagator can be compared directly with the diagrammatic perturbation calculation of the proper particle-hole self-energy. The chapter also discusses the second-order response properties and sum rules, and the ground-state correlation energies.
Analysis of third order contributions to equations of motion-Green's function excitation energies: application to N<inf>2</inf>
1977, Chemical Physics
Equations of motion-Green's function methods have been relatively successful for predicting vertical electron excitation energies in atoms and molecules, but the equations have only been solved approximately through second order in the electron—electron interaction. We examine the general equations in detail in order to study physically important effects and to obtain solutions which contain important terms to all orders. For the testing of previous approximations, calculations are performed with equations that are truncated at third order. The calculations employ a modest gaussian basis and are applied to N₂ at its ground state equilibrium geometry. The results of a complete second order unshifted calculation are compared with the approximate ones of McKoy and co-workers, and it is shown that the differences are generally small. Second order calculations with shifted denominators show a considerable change from the complete second order unshifted calculations and poorer agreement with experiment. Similarly, the third order unshifted results differ markedly from the complete second order unshifted results and experiment. Our best results, the complete third order shifted, show better agreement with experiment than the complete order unshifted method in ten out of the eleven excitations considered. The superiority of a third order shifted theory is consistent with order applications with many-body theory.
Inclusion of doubly excited configurations in electron propagators
1975, Chemical Physics Letters
Inclusion of doubly excited configurations in excited states is investigated in a moment conserving decoupling of the two-particle Green's function for molecules with a closed shell ground state. The result obtained is found to correspond to a [2,1] Padé approximant decoupling of the Green's function hierarchy. It is shown that this decoupling is equivalent to the equations of motion method of Shibuya, Rose, and McKoy.
