#! /bin/sh # This is a small but important example to illustrate what goes into an accurate # calculation of the 'true' bond energy of a molecule. The (ADF-specific) # problem is that in a straightforward molecular calculation, the bond energy is # computed as the energy difference between at the one hand the molecule, and at # the other hand the isolated spherically symmetric spin-restricted atoms. The # italic-typed features imply that the reference (comparison) state is usually # not the physical ground state of the reference system (isolated atoms) and # hence the computed energy difference has no direct relation to experimental # data. To account for the true atomic ground states, one has to add correction # terms. Study this sample carefully to make sure that you fully understand the # steps to take and consult the User's Guide for details. See also the this # document for a discussion of multiplet states. # See also the example, SD_Cr(NH3)6. # The H2 case consists of a sequence of simple calculations to demonstrate the # Unrestricted Fragments option. The energy difference between an unrestricted # fragment as it is used in adf and a self-consistent unrestricted fragment is # also computed. This turns out to be quite small, confirming that the adf # approach, although not formally exact, is adequate for practical purposes. $ADFBIN/adf -n1 <
