Dear all,<div>I am doing a calculation for the binding energy of the argon dimer with RPA and I used as primary basis sets aug-cc-pVTZ and aug-cc-pVQZ. In the CP2K maual I saw that I have to use the extrapolation formula E(X)=A+B/X^3 for correlation energies, but I don't know how to extrapolate the EXX energy. In the attached article I saw that they use the extrapolation formula for the cohesive energies instead of correlation energies. So I tried to make the extrapolatoin in two ways:</div><div>1) I calculated the binding energy of the dimer with TZ and QZ basis sets separately and made the cubic extrapolation with the resulting bonding energies</div><div>2) I made the extrapolation with the cubic formula with absolute RPA and EXX energies for the dimer and the atom separately and after that I calculated the bonding energy with the extrapolated results.</div><div>With the first method I get E bonding = -8.4 meV, with the second one I get E bonding = -8.6 meV.<br />Are these procedures correct? Since the results are similar can I deduce that both methods are correct? In both cases the atom calculation has been made with a ghost atom with the same geometry of the dimer in order to take into account the basis set superposition error.</div><div>Kind regards;<br /><br />Riccardo Pezzetta</div>
