Polarization consistent basis sets using the projector augmented wave method: a renovation brought by PAW into Gaussian basis sets
Literature Information
Masaya Hagai, Xiao-Gen Xiong
A recently introduced framework incorporating the Projector Augmented Wave method and Gauss-type function (GTF-PAW) [X.-G. Xiong and T. Yanai, J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2017, 13, 3236–3249] opens alternative possibilities for performing low-cost molecular computational chemistry calculations. In this work, we present our first attempt to expand the applicability of this method by developing a family of compact general contracted polarization consistent basis sets (PAW-Ln) as an optimized GTF basis in combination with PAW. The results show that PAW-Ln, despite having small numbers of primitives, can provide not only better performance than effective core potential (ECP) but also good accuracy and desirable systematic convergence compared to larger all-electron basis sets. This demonstrates that GTF-PAW using the PAW-Ln basis sets could be a better alternative to both conventional all-electron- and ECP-based approaches for routine DFT calculations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
