ORCA manual 5.5.2 Use of TD-DFT for the Calculation of X-ray Absorption Spectra中
第二个例子计算TiCl4中Cl原子1s轨道的激发,其中XASLoc[0] = 1,4因为1-4轨道是四个Cl的1s轨道。
manual中有一段
And looking at the energy range or the orbital composition, we nd that orbitals 1 through 4 are Cl 1s-orbitals. They
all have the same energy since they are essentially non-interacting. Hence, we can localize them without invalidating
the calculation。
之后我又去ORCA input library看到这么一段 If a molecule contains more than one atom of the XAS element and the 1s orbitals are symmetry equivalent it may be necessary to localize them first. This should only be done when necessary.
%tddft
XASLoc[0] = 0,1 # Localizing alpha orbitals of range 0 to 1.
XASLoc[1] = 0,1 # Localizing beta orbitals of range 0 to 1.
