Relativistic equation-of-motion coupled-cluster method for the double ionization potentials of the closed-shell atoms

We report the general implementation of the relativistic equation-of-motion coupled-cluster method to calculate double ionization spectra (DI-EOMCC) of atomic and molecular systems. As a first application, this method is employed to calculate the principal valence double ionization potential values of He and alkaline earth metal (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) atoms. Our results are compared with the results available from the national institute of standards and technology (NIST) database and other ab initio calculations. We have achieved an accuracy of ~ 0.1%, which is an improvement over the first principles T-matrix calculations [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 144112 (2005)]. We also present results using the second-order many-body perturbation theory and the random- phase approximation in the equation-of-motion framework and these results are compared with the DI-EOMCC results.

Relativistic Equation of Motion Coupled-Cluster Method: Application to the closed-shell atomic systems

We report our successful implementation of the full fledged relativistic equation of motion coupled cluster (EOMCC) method. This method is employed to compute the principal ionization potentials (IPs) of closed-shell rare gas atoms, He-like ions, Be-like ions along with Na+, Al+, K+, Be, and Mg. Four component Dirac spinors are used in the calculations and the one and two electron integrals are evaluated using the Dirac Coulomb Hamiltonian. Our results are in excellent agreement with those available measurements, which are taken from the National Institute of Science and Technology database (NIST). We also present results using the second order many-body perturbation theory (MBPT(2)) and random phase approximation (RPA) in the EOMCC framework. These results are compared with those of EOMCC at the level of single and double excitations in order to assess the role of the electron correlation effects in the intermediate schemes considered in our calculations .
