Basis sets and effective core potentials were obtained (1/1/2002) from
the Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment (ECCE) Basis Set
Database, as developed and distributed by the Molecular Science
Computing Facility, Environmental and Molecular Sciences Laboratory
which is part of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, P.O. Box
999, Richland, Washington 99352, USA, and is funded by the
U.S. Department of Energy. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
is a multi-program laboratory operated by Battelle Memorial Institute
for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC06-76RLO.
Contact David Feller (df_feller@pnl.gov
) or Deborah Gracio
(gracio@pnl.gov
) for further information.
The names in the NWChem library are consistent with those in the ECCE
database and thus may include spaces. The standard NWChem input
routines require that strings including spaces are enclosed in
quotation marks ("..."
) or that blanks are escaped with a
backslash. As a convenience, basis set names may also have the blanks
replaced with underscores. Thus, the following all yield the same
basis set for oxygen
oxygen library "DZP + Diffuse (Dunning)" oxygen library DZP\ +\ Diffuse\ (Dunning) oxygen library DZP_+_Diffuse_(Dunning)
Case may be ignored when specifying basis set names, but otherwise names should be specified exactly as provided below. A good method is just to cut/paste from the WWW pages since they were generated electronically from the library source.
Errors found in the basis set library of NWChem version 4.0 have been corrected in the current library of NWChem version 4.1. The changes are listed below:
"aug-cc-pVTZ"
"cc-pV5Z"
"Stuttgart RSC 1997 ECP"
"LANL2DZ ECP"
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Stuttgart basis set and ECP developers have recently developed a new set of Stuttgart RSC ECP's for the Lanthanide series of elements. This new set is now called "Stuttgart RSC ECP", while the previous, and most widely used, set has been renamed to "Stuttgart RSC 1997 ECP" in both the EMSL Basis Set library and in the NWChem basis set library.
Relativistic contractions of standard basis sets for use in the Douglas-Kroll
and Dyall-modified-Dirac method have also been included in the library. These
are identified by tags following the standard basis set name.
For the Douglas-Kroll method the tag dk
should be specified:
oxygen library cc-pVDZ_DK
For the Dyall-modified-Dirac (DMD) method three tags should be specified. The
first is a tag for the nuclear model, which can be pt
or fi
for
a point or a finite Gaussian model (see Section6). The second
is a tag for the relativistic Hamiltonian: sf
is for the spin-free
modified Dirac Hamiltonian. The third tags the component type, fw
for
the atomic FW transformed large component, lc
for the large component
and sc
for the small component:
oxygen library cc-pvdz_pt_sf_fw oxygen library cc-pvdz_pt_sf_lcBasis sets which are available with either the DmD or DK contractions are indicated in the list below. Additional DmD basis sets are available in the directory
nwchem/contrib/basissets/Dyall_DMD
.
Here is a list of known all-electron non-relativistic, DK and DmD basis sets, effective core potentials with their respective basis sets, fitting basis sets, and Polarization, Diffuse and Core-valence sets of functions, along with the elements included for each. Additional information about each basis set in the NWChem library can be obtained from the online EMSL Gaussian Basis Set library.
