Overcoming the logic of the restrictions option

asked by Marius Retegan (2019/12/15 14:26)

I am trying to overcome the AND-only logic implemented in the restrictions option by tuning the basis set used to express the wavefunctions. The script below, which is a modified version of the ground state ligand-field calculation, uses first the standard way to get the determinants needed to express the wavefunctions, while in the second part I get the wavefunctions in a two-step fashion. This is the output for the expectation values:

I would be grateful if someone could tell me what I need to change to get the same expectation values as in the standard calculation. Thank you. Here is the full script.

-- This tutorial calculates the ground-state of NiO within the Ligand-field theory approximation
 
-- in Ligand field theory we approximate the solid by a single transition metal atom d-shell
-- interacting with a non-interacting Ligand shell. (Nowadays in the literature often called
-- a bath) For transition metal oxides one can think of the ligand orbitals as the O-2p
-- orbitals. For NiO there would be six O-2p orbitals and one might expect a cluster of
-- 1 Ni-d shell and 6 O-2p shells (10+36=46 spin-orbitals in total). For a theory where
-- calculation times scale roughly exponential with respect to number of orbitals going from
-- 10 spin-orbitals (crystal-field theory) to 46 spin-orbitals slows thing down a lot.
 
-- There is however a simple optimization one can make to speed up the calculations, without
-- changing the final answer. One can make linear combinations of the O-2p orbitals to form
-- ligand orbitals. Out-off the 36 O-2p orbitals only 10 interact with the Ni-d orbital.
-- (see PRB 85, 165113 (2012) for nice pictures of the ligand orbitals in cubic symmetry or
-- PRL 107, 107402 (2011) and J. Phys. Condens. Matter 24, 255602 (2012) for an example in
-- lower symmetry (TiOCl))
 
-- In ligand field theory we thus have 20 spin-orbitals. 10 representing the Ni-3d shell and
-- 10 representing the Ligand-d shell.
