SCF algorithms for HF electronic calculations

TL;DR: The Roothaan algorithm and the level-shifting algorithm are demonstrated to converge for large enough shift parameter, whatever the initial guess, and a new algorithm recently introduced by Le Bris and the author, the so-called Optimal Damping Algorithm (ODA) is details.

Conical Intersections in Organic Molecules: Benchmarking Mixed-Reference Spin-Flip Time-Dependent DFT (MRSF-TD-DFT) vs Spin-Flip TD-DFT.

TL;DR: MRSF-TD-DFT is demonstrated to be capable of producing the correct double cone topology of the intersections and to describe the geometry of the lowest energy conical intersections and their relative energy with an accuracy matching the best multi-reference wavefunction methods.

Atomic ionization potentials and electron affinities with relativistic and mass corrections

TL;DR: In this article, the first-order perturbation theory with an approximate Schrodinger form of the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian was examined for ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) of atoms with an atomic number Z ≥ 54.

A Qualitative Valence Bond Model for Organic Reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative methodology for constructing states from their valence bond (VB) building blocks is developed, which is used initially to describe states for representative species; a covalent bond, species which possess an average of one electron per site (e.g., allyl radical, etc.).
