Describing Inner-shell Ionization using Multiconfigurational Wave Functions

The Multiconfigurational Self-Consistent Field (MCSCF) method is a powerful approach to describe atomic and molecular systems. In previous papers, we show that surprisingly good quantitative results are presented to core excited states when using the IS-MCSCF procedure. A broad evaluation of the IS-MCSCF method and its variations can provide useful knowledge about its capabilities and limitations. We applied it extensively to investigate the K-shell ionization of a selected group of interesting small molecules (CO, O2, and N2). We evaluate principally different constructions of the MCSCF wave function and different methods to recover post-MCSCF electronic correlation, among other theoretical details.

We have investigated the performance of several forms of IS-MCSCF wave functions, like IS-GVB-PP, IS-FVBL, and IS-CASSCF. Transition energy and potential energy curves show that all forms of the IS-MCSCF function lead to a good description of the inner-shell state. Multireference Configuration Interaction (MRCI) did not succeed in improving the results derived from IS-MCSCF approaches, despite the high computational demand. In contrast, the GMC-QDPT method presents nice low-cost improvements to the ionized core states’ description, as observed previously for excited states.

We found that even the simplest form of the theory, IS-GVB-PP or IS-GVB-PP/GMC-QDPT can lead to a quantitative agreement with experimental core-shell ionization potential. This has not been verified in valence transitions in essentially any form of multiconfigurational function, not even CASSCF.
