Differences between Basis Sets ?

[Rolf David]

Hi Linus,

SR means shorter range.

As discussed in the basis_molopt file :

# In addition to the basis sets discussed in the paper above, we have 
generated with the same procedure
# variants of these basis sets using less and thus less diffuse primitives 
(based on the atomic code being with 1mHt of the basis set limit) 
# These are the  SZV-MOLOPT-SR-GTH and DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH (Shorter Range) 
basis sets for most of the periodic table 
# These basis sets reduce the cost for medium size condensed phase systems, 
while most properties are only slighly affected. 
# Most affected is BSSE, which increases to 0.32, 0.16, 0.31, 0.24 from 
0.23, 0.11, 0.41, 0.20 kcal/mol (DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH vs. DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH), 
# while for a box with 64 molecules timings are 25 and 111 s respectively.


I tried them for some systems (condensed), and the speedup is very good and 
the accuracy is still the same (for my systems)
