Description

The MPn method keywords request a Hartree-Fock calculation (by default, RHF for singlets, UHF for higher multiplicities) followed by a Møller-Plesset correlation energy correction [ Moller34 C. Møller and M. S. Plesset, “Note on an approximation treatment for many-electron systems,” Phys. Rev., 46 (1934) 0618-22. DOI: PhysRev.46.618 ]:

Double-Hybrid Methods

Gaussian 16 also includes some double hybrid methods that combine exact HF exchange with an MP2-like correlation to a DFT calculation. These methods have the same computational cost as MP2 (rather than that of DFT). Gaussian 16 includes:

All frozen core options are available with this keyword; a frozen core calculation is the default. See the discussion of the FC options for full information.

Algorithm Selection Options for MP2 and Double Hybrid Methods

The appropriate algorithm for MP2 will be selected automatically based on the settings of %Mem and MaxDisk. Thus, the following options are almost never needed.

FullDirect

Forces the fully direct algorithm, which requires no external storage beyond that for the SCF. Requires a minimum of 2OVN words of main memory (O=number of occupied orbitals, V=number of virtual orbitals, N=number of basis functions). This is seldom a good choice, except for machines with very large main memory and limited disk.

TWInCore

Whether to store amplitudes and products in memory during higher-order post-SCF calculations. The default is to store these if possible, but to run off disk if memory is insufficient. TWInCore causes the program to terminate if these can not be held in memory, while NoTWInCore prohibits in-memory storage.

SemiDirect

Forces the semi-direct algorithm.

Direct

Requests some sort of direct algorithm. The choice between in-core, fully direct and semidirect is made by the program based on memory and disk limits and the dimensions of the problem.

InCore

Forces the in-memory algorithm. This is very fast when it can be used, but requires N4/4 words of memory. It is normally used in conjunction with SCF=InCore. NoInCore prevents the use of the in-core algorithm.

Examples

The MP2 energy appears in the output as follows, labeled as EUMP2:

E2=        -.3906492545D-01 EUMP2=        -.75003727493390D+02

Here is the output from an MP4(SDTQ) calculation:

Time for triples=         .04 seconds.
MP4(T)=    -.55601167D-04
E3=        -.10847902D-01        EUMP3=       -.75014575395D+02
E4(DQ)=    -.32068082D-02        UMP4(DQ)=    -.75017782203D+02
E4(SDQ)=   -.33238377D-02        UMP4(SDQ)=   -.75017899233D+02
E4(SDTQ)=  -.33794389D-02        UMP4(SDTQ)=  -.75017954834D+02

The energy labeled EUMP3 is the MP3 energy, and the various MP4-level corrections appear after it, with the MP4(SDTQ) value coming in the final line.

The B2PLYP energy appears as follows in the output:

 E2(B2PLYP) =    -0.3262340664D-01 E(B2PLYP) =    -0.39113226645200D+02
