β¦ Synopsis
A method is devised for dealing with almost linearly dependent basis sets that contain large sets of bond functions. Using the largest of such basis sets, LARSAT, the second-order MΓΈller-Plesset polarization dispersion energy of the helium dimer is calculated to be y17.08 K at R s 5.6 bohrs. MR-SDCI calculations, employing a set of 37 reference configurations, were performed for the helium dimer with several basis sets at 4.0 and 5.6 bohrs. Size-extensivity corrections were included to take into account the R dependency of the size-extensivity error in MR-SDCI calculations. The He 2 interaction energies computed with basis LARSAT are y10.92 K at 5.6 bohrs and 295.1 K at 4.0 bohrs. The 37-MR-SDCI calculations with basis LARSAT almost reproduce the He 2 Ε½ . full configuration interaction CI interaction energies computed with the same basis, at notably smaller cost.
