In this work, an energy decomposition analysis (EDA) method with the strategy of density matrix, called DM-EDA, is proposed on the basis of single reference electronic structure calculations. Different from traditional EDA methods, instead of an intermediate state wave function, the EDA terms in DM-EDA are expressed in the forms of the density matrix. This method can be carried out with various kinds of density matrices. With the efficient implementation, DM-EDA not only greatly improves the computational efficiency but also provides quantitative knowledge of intermolecular interactions with a large number of monomers.
在这项工作中,基于单参考电子结构计算,提出了一种采用密度矩阵策略的能量分解分析(EDA)方法,称为DM-EDA。与传统的EDA方法不同,DM-EDA中的EDA项不是用中间态波函数来表示,而是以密度矩阵的形式来表示。该方法可以用各种密度矩阵来进行。通过高效的实现,DM-EDA不仅大大提高了计算效率,还为大量单体的分子间相互作用提供了定量知识。
