Complex-Energy Second-Order Approximate Coupled-Cluster Methods for Electronic Resonances

Cansu Utku, Garrette Pauley Paran, Thomas-C. Jagau

Electronic resonances are metastable states with finite lifetimes, encountered in processes such as photodetachment, electron transmission, and Auger decay. Resonances appear in He…

Complex-variable MP2 theory applied to core-vacant states for the computation of Auger spectra

Florian Matz, Jan Philipp Drennhaus, Anthuan Ferino-Pérez +1

We model Auger spectra using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory combined with complex-scaled basis functions. For this purpose, we decompose the complex MP2 ener…

A new strategy to optimize complex absorbing potentials for the computation of resonance energies and widths

Jerryman A. Gyamfi, Thomas-C. Jagau

Complex absorbing potentials (CAPs) are artificial potentials added to electronic Hamiltonians to make the wave function of metastable electronic states square-integrable. This mak…
