Abstract

In this paper, we have spin-adapted our recently formulated linear response theory in a coupled-cluster framework. This allows us to calculate directly both the spin-allowed and the spin-forbidden transition energies from a single methodology. We have introduced rank-zero and rank-one spin operators to construct excitation operators for singlet-singlet and singlet-triplet transitions respectively and utilised the graphical methods of spin algebra to integrate the spin variables. It has been shown how a suitable parameterisation of the reduced Hugenholtz matrix elements of the excitation operator in terms of Goldstone matrix elements makes the resulting system of equations simple, compact and suitable for computer implementation. A pilot calculation has been performed to test the applicability of the theory.

      In particular, the linear response function represents the frequency-dependent polarizability tensor, its poles and residues being, respectively, the excitation energies and transition moments from the reference state to excited states [11,12]. Linear response functions have been derived and implemented for SCF [13], MCSCF [14], SOPPA [15] and CC [16–21] wave functions among others. Since the first derivation of the coupled cluster linear response (CCLR) function by Monkhost [16], a variety of different derivations and implementations have been proposed.
