3.12 CPF -- A Coupled-Pair Functional Program

The CPF program produces Single and Doubles Configuration Interaction (SDCI), Coupled-Pair Functional (CPF), Modified Coupled-Pair Functional (MCPF), and Averaged Coupled-Pair Functional (ACPF) wave functions (see section  cpf (in users guide) of the user's guide) from one reference configuration. The difference between the MRCI and CPF codes is that the former can handle Configuration Interaction (CI) and Averaged Coupled-Pair Functional (ACPF) calculations with more than one reference configuration. For a closed-shell reference the wave function can be generated with the SCF program. In open-shell cases the RASSCF has to be used.

End of Input

The TITLe keyword behaviors in a similar fashion to the other MOLCAS modules. The CPF keyword requests an Coupled-Pair Functional calculation. This is the default and is mutually exclusive with keywords MCPF, ACPF, and SDCI which request different type of calculations. Figure 3.12 lists the input files for the guga and cpf programs to obtain the MCPF energy for the lowest triplet state of B$_1$ symmetry in the water molecule. The GUGA module computes the coupling coefficients for a triplet state of the appropriate symmetry and the CPF module will converge to the first excited triplet state. One orbital of the first symmetry has been frozen in this case (core orbital) in the MOTRA step.

3.12.0.1 cpf Output

The cpf section of the output lists the number of each type of orbital in each symmetry including pre-frozen orbitals that were frozen by the guga module. After some information concerning the total number of internal configurations used and storage data, it appears the single reference configuration in the mrci format: an empty orbital is listed as `0' and a doubly occupied as `3'. The spin of a singly occupied orbital by `1' (spin up) or `2' (spin down). The molecular orbitals are listed near the end of the output.

There are four input files to the cpf module; CIGUGA from GUGA, TRAONE and TRAINT from MOTRA and ONEINT from SEWARD. The orbitals are saved in CPFORB.
