- 요약Proper applications of electronic structure theory use the most accurate computational method that is feasible for the system size of interest. Modern electronic structure theory methods therefore seek to maximize the ratio of accuracy to computation time. To improve upon an existing method, one must therefore either increase the accuracy or lower the computational cost. In this work, we present techniques for both. In Chapter 2, we present a study of regularized orbital optimized second order Moller-Plesset theory (OOMP2) and provide an analysis of appropriate empirical parameters across a broad spectrum of chemical systems - yielding a factor of 9 reduction in error over unregularized OOMP2 for certain classes of problems! In Chapter 3, we present a new algorithm utilizing tensor hypercontraction to compute exact exchange for periodic systems including k-point sampling; this approach significantly reduces the computation time and memory usage for hybrid density functional theory (DFT) when large k-point meshes are used. In Chapter 4, we analyze the effect of orbitals in third order Moller-Plesset theory (MP3), showing that DFT orbitals can yield a factor of 3 reduction in error over the more traditional Hartree-Fock orbitals for many applications at no extra computational cost. Finally, in Chapter 5 we utilize MP3 with DFT orbitals to compute reaction energies and reaction rate constants for an experimentally observed reaction and use these to predict the product, which the experiment could only characterize by molecular weight.
