:orphan: ======================================= Properties at the MCSCF level of theory ======================================= In this tutorial we will look at a simple example of computing one-electron properties using a Kramers-restricted MCSCF (KRMC) and Hartree-Fock (HF) wave function in DIRAC. For more details on the implementation and the method, see :cite:`Jensen1996`, :cite:`Thyssen2004` , :cite:`Thyssen2008` and :cite:`Knecht2009`, respectively. We consider the Be atom using :math:`\mbox{C}_{2v}` symmetry:: INTGRL Be atom in uncontracted Pierloot basis set, MOLCAS 5, ANO-S Generated small component via RKB C 1 2XY Y .10D-15 4. 1 Be 1 .00000000 .00000000 .00000000 LARGE 3 2 1 1 H 7 0 3 2732.3281 410.31981 93.672648 26.587957 8.6295600 3.0562640 1.1324240 H 3 0 3 .18173200 .05917000 .02071000 H 4 0 3 1.1677000 .36500000 .11410000 .03570000 H 3 0 3 .54680000 .14650000 .03930000 FINISH and generate the following menu file:: **DIRAC .TITLE Testing KRMC and KR-CI for Be in Pierloot basis .ANALYZE .WAVE FUNCTION .PROPERTIES **PROPERTIES .RHONUC .EFFDEN .WAVE F 2 DHF KRMC **HAMILTONIAN .X2C **WAVE FUNCTION .SCF .KRMCSCF *SCF .CLOSED SHELL 4 *KRMCSCF .CI PROGRAM LUCIAREL .INACTIVE 1 .GAS SHELL 2 0 2 / 1 2 2 / 3 .SYMMETRY 1 .PRINT 5 *OPTIMI .ANALYZ **END OF Here we ask for the contact density :math:`\rho(0)` (.RHONUC) as well as effective density :math:`\bar{\rho}` (.EFFDEN) at the Be nucleus calculated at the HF and MCSCF level of theory using the exact two-component Hamiltonian. In the MCSCF step we define a CAS(2,4) space correlating 2 electrons in 4 Kramers pairs (2s2p shell of Be). The results read as follows:: HF: Rho at nuc Be 01 : 33.94937443146 a.u. EFFD:Be 01 : 33.94934902177 a.u. KRMC: Rho at nuc Be 01 : 33.89686536890 a.u. EFFD:Be 01 : 33.89683999776 a.u. From this we can conclude that non-dynamical (and partially dynamical) correlation included in our CAS wave function seems to reduce both, :math:`\rho(0)` and :math:`\bar{\rho}` at the Be nucleus compared to the uncorrelated Hartree-Fock values.
