Define properties to be computed.

dipole() → None

Dipole moment.

dipole_gradients() → None

Compute gradients of the dipole with respect to nuclear displacements in Cartesian coordinates.

energy() → None

Energy.

excitation_energies(states: Union[int, List[int]] = 5, triplet: bool = False, cvseparation: Optional[Union[List[int], List[List[int]]]] = None) → None

Compute excitation energies.

Parameters

• states – Number of states.

• triplet – Turns on triplet excitations. Excitations are singlet as default.

• cvseparation – Core-valence separation. Specify the active orbitals of each symmetry species (irrep), giving the number of the orbitals. For example, [[1, 2], [1], [0]] specifies that orbitals 1 and 2 from the first irrep are active, orbital 1 from the second irrep, and no orbitals from the third and last irrep.

first_hyperpolarizability() → None

First hyperpolarizability (beta).

geometry_optimization(method: str = 'BFGS') → None

Geometry optimization.

Parameters

method – Geometry optimization method.

gradients(method: str = 'analytic') → None

Compute molecular gradients.

Parameters

method – Method for computing gradients.

hessian(method: str = 'analytic') → None

Compute molecular Hessian.

Parameters

method – Method for computing Hessian.

hyperfine_couplings(atoms: List[int]) → None

Compute hyperfine coupling constants.

Parameters

atoms – List of atoms by index.

nmr_shieldings() → None

Compute nuclear magnetic shielding constants.

polarizability() → None

Polarizability (alpha).

polarizability_gradients(frequencies: Union[float, List[float]] = 0.0) → None

Compute gradients of the polarizability with respect to nuclear displacements in Cartesian coordinates.

Parameters

frequencies – Frequencies at which the polarizability will be evaluated (hartree).

transition_state() → None

Geometry optimization for transition states.

two_photon_absorption(states: Union[int, List[int]] = 5) → None

Compute two-photon absorption strengths.

Parameters
