<div dir="ltr">Dear cp2k users, <br><br>I have seen some of your cp2k replies about ROKS problems in cp2k. I would like to ask a specific question about S1 state ROKS
calculations.
<br>
<br>I am trying to simulate pi-->pi* transition of a chromophore by using
ROKS implementation in CP2K. I got confused in the section
LOW_SPIN_ROKS. My choice for this calculation by concerning the singlet
symmetry is:
<br>
<br>MULTIP 1
<br>&LOW_SPIN_ROKS
<br> ENERGY_SCALING 2.0 -1.0
<br> SPIN_CONFIGURATION 1 1
<br> SPIN_CONFIGURATION 1 2
<br>&END LOW_SPIN_ROKS
<br>&SCF
<br>&OT T
<br> MINIMIZER DIIS
<br> PRECONDITIONER FULL_SINGLE
<br> ROTATION
<br>&END OT
<br>
<br>Almost calculation with MULTIP 1 with different spin configurations are
crashed. Then I have tried various variations of the energy scaling and
the spin configurations to check weather the energies make sense by
using ethylene as a benchmark system. Besides I of course looked the
cp2k google mail list about LOW_SPIN_ROKS and could not find clear
explanation how to define S1 state calculation.
<br>
<br>I have got only one reasonable result from the input below but still I do not know if this energy correspons to S1 or T1:
<br>
<br>MULTIP 3
<br>&LOW_SPIN_ROKS
<br> ENERGY_SCALING 2.0 -2.0
<br> SPIN_CONFIGURATION 1 1
<br> SPIN_CONFIGURATION 1 2
<br>&END LOW_SPIN_ROKS
<br>&SCF
<br>&OT T
<br> MINIMIZER DIIS
<br> PRECONDITIONER FULL_SINGLE
<br> ROTATION
<br>&END OT
<br>
<br>I would be very glad if you give any hint how to do S1 state ROKS in CP2K.
<br>Thank you very much for your attention.
<br>
<br>Regards,
<br>
<br>Gül
