Aplication of explicitly correlated multi-reference coupled cluster methods
Lang, Jakub ; Pittner, Jiří (advisor) ; Fišer, Jiří (referee)
Nowdays, coupled cluster method belongs to one of the most used quantum chemical methods. However, the single-reference coupled cluster methods are not able to describe systems where the static correlation have an important role. Multireference coupled cluster methods developed in our group can describe both static and dy- namic correlation and can be used for problematic systems. Together with explicitly correlated wavefunction, which can properly describe the electronic cusp and speed up the convergence to the complete ba- sis set limit, they are able to calculate computationally demanding diradicals. Multireference CC calculations of tetramethylenethane have been perforemd and the performance of explicitly correlated version is discussed. Calculations of the isomerization of bicyclobu- tane using the multireference approach are presented as well. 1

Explicitly Correlated Multireference Coupled-Cluster Study of Molecules and Cations with Diradical Character
Jungwirth, Jakub ; Pittner, Jiří (advisor) ; Fišer, Jiří (referee)
Known and proposed helium chemistry embraces a large variety of small-size cationic species. Even though some of these species can be studied experimentally in the gas phase, the vast majority of contemporary studies are backed up or done entirely using high-level of theory calculations. The aim of this thesis is to present a theoretical introduction to ab initio computational chemistry from the basics (definition of the electronic problem, Born-Oppenheimer approximation, Hartree- Fock method) to the Brillouin-Wigner and Mukherjee Hilbert-space state-specific multireference coupled-cluster (MRCC) methods and their explicitly correlated versions. The thesis also contains a study of HeN2+ 2 using the mentioned MRCC methods. An important result has been, that Mukherjee's state-specific multireference coupled-cluster method with perturbative triexcitations Mk CCSD(Tu) gives results in very good agreement to conventional calculations (CASPT2 and MRCI) using a much smaller active space and smaller basis sets.
