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 by tuning the basis set used to express the wavefunctions. The script below is a modified version of the ground state ligand-field calculation. I've only modified the very last part. This is the output:

Oppldots = NewOperator("ldots", NF, IndexUp, IndexDn)

I would be grateful if someone could tell me what I need to change to get the same expectation values as in the regular 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.

-- After some initial discussion (some older papers use different definitions) the
-- energies U and Delta refer to the center of a configuration
-- The L^10 d^n   configuration has an energy 0
-- The L^9  d^n+1 configuration has an energy Delta
-- The L^8  d^n+2 configuration has an energy 2*Delta+U

--  8 eL + (n+2) ed + (n+1)(n+2) U/2 == 2*Delta+U
-- 3 equations with 2 unknowns, but with interdependence yield:
-- ed = (10*Delta-nd*(19+nd)*U/2)/(10+nd)
-- ep = nd*((1+nd)*U/2-Delta)/(10+nd)
--
-- note that ed-ep = Delta - nd * U and not Delta
-- note furthermore that ep and ed here are defined for the onsite energy if the system had

-- calculations.
--
-- note furthermore that ep and eL actually should be different for most systems. We happily ignore this fact
