Renormalized Singles Green's Function in the T-Matrix Approximation for Accurate Quasiparticle Energy Calculation

Chemical Physics 2021-08-05 v1

Abstract

We combine the renormalized singles (RS) Green's function with the T-Matrix approximation for the single-particle Green's function to compute quasiparticle energies for valence and core states of molecular systems. The GRST0G_{\text{RS}}T_0 method uses the RS Green's function that incorporates singles contributions as the initial Green's function. The GRSTRSG_{\text{RS}}T_{\text{RS}} method further calculates the generalized effective interaction with the RS Green's function by using RS eigenvalues in the T-Matrix calculation through the particle-particle random phase approximation. The GRSTRSG_{\text{RS}}T_{\text{RS}} method provides significant improvements over the one-shot T-Matrix method G0T0G_0T_0 as demonstrated in calculations for GW100 and CORE65 test sets. It also systematically eliminates the dependence of G0T0G_{0}T_{0} on the choice of density functional approximations (DFAs). For valence states, the GRSTRSG_{\text{RS}}T_{\text{RS}} method provides an excellent accuracy, which is better than G0T0G_0T_0 with Hartree-Fock (HF) or other DFAs. For core states, the GRSTRSG_{\text{RS}}T_{\text{RS}} method correctly identifies desired peaks in the spectral function and significantly outperforms G0T0G_0T_0 on core level binding energies (CLBEs) and relative CLBEs, with any commonly used DFAs.
