Neptunus
NEPTUNUS is a FORTRAN code for the calculation of FCI energies and properties written by Bendazzoli G L and Evangelisti S with contributions from Gagliardi L; Giner E; Monari A; Verdicchio M.
It uses the one- and two-electron molecular integrals computed on the Hartree-Fock atomic orbitals (AO), that are obtained with the DALTON quantum chemistry package. Then, the AO integrals are transformed on the Hartree-Fock Molecular Orbital (MO) basis set, by using the 4-index transformation using the Ferrara code. Finally, NEPTUNUS, performs the calculation at Full-CI level.
How to install it ?
- Unpack the tarball.
- Compile the following programs:
- Dalton2fci/IJKL
- Dalton2fci/DALCOST
- Dalton2fci/PROPERTIES
Note: you will find a makefile to change accordingly.
- Compile the FCI program by doing the following: in the directory
NEPTUNUS/_TESTDY
: check the fileOBJ/makefile
, change it if needed, and run:
> make -COBJ mizar
> make -COBJ alcor
Running the tests
Go to NEPTUNUS/TEST/H2O
and run:
> waterdz.sh
> waterdz_core.sh
> greppo.sh
You should get the files momentum.dat and position.dat Compare them with momentum_GLB.dat and position_GLB.dat respectively.
How to perform a FCI calculation?
- Run DALTON
- Run ijkldali6 (4index transformation)
- Run dalcost: prepares the integral file(s) of the hamiltonian from IJKL output
- Run properties: transforms the integrals of dipole, secmom and other operators
- Run FCI programs: alcor for max 2+2 electrons, otherwise mizar
You can see an example in the TEST/H2O directory.
