hfacm script: Enhanced support for double hybrids and Adiabatic connection model functionals
The range-separated local hybrid functional wLH22t (implemented for ground state DFT, TDDFT and gradient calculations) can be accessed by the wlh22t keyword. Note that the 7.7 version links to different parameters than finally published https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.2c00782
The new LH23pt local hybrid with improved performance for core properties, implemented for energies, gradients and TDDFT. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcc.27211
Quadratic response from the Bethe-Salpeter equation
Support for gauge-invariant cMGGAs for excited-state gradients and dipole moments in egrad and support for MGGAs and gauge-invariant cMGGAs for (dynamic) hyperpolarizabilities and two-photon absorption cross-sections in escf https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.3c00259
Enhancements
Improved parallel (OpenMP) performance of periodic DFT (riper)
Simplified COSMO input (automatic selection of dielectric constant and refractive index based on solvent name for many solvents)
Add soscal throughout all spin-orbit features in ridft, rdgrad, escf, mpshift, riper
Automatic orbitalshift for 2c SCF (previously automatic was read but ignored, i.e. closedshell shift was used) https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.03817
Further improved seminumerical algorithms, improved available small grids
All GW and BSE functionality is now fully available on GPUs
Basis Sets:
addition of pob-DZVP-rev2 and pob-TZVP-rev2 basis sets and the corresponding ECPs, useful for periodic DFT calculations with riper
Dyall basis sets for the light elements
added all basis sets and ECPs of Dolg
restructured basen library for ECPs
Fixes:
fix NICS output for large distances and correct wording
fix libxc output with D3 in aoforce
fixed input for pseudospectral methods in mpshift, redirects to senex
improved GIMIC interface, i.e. delete files which are not needed for GIMIC Version 2
fixed memory leaks for LHF gradients
fix DFT grids with fullshell in mpshift
fix simultaneous use of $esenex and LHF in mpshift
fix keyword $intsdebug
fixed memory leaks in evib
TmoleX
New method GW and excitation energies based on GW using BSE (Bethe-Salpeter Equations) available in the graphical user interface
List of files to copy back from external runs is now customizable
When working with several displays which use different scaling factors, users experienced issues with incorrect sizing of dialogs and missing scrollbars. These issues have been fixed and the UI should appear appropriately
The default fonts and font sizes of the Solvation Chemistry application UIs was changed for better readability if scaling of the display is used
