====== Clarification on Calculation Restrictions ====== ;;# asked by [[mailto:zerdoumihamza99@gmail.com|Hamza]] (2025/02/25 08:56) ;;# == == Dear Quanty Developer, I have a question regarding the interpretation of the following restriction: CalcRestrictions = {NFermi, 0, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_3d"]), nd, nd+2}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ligand"]), 10-2, 10}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_2p"]), 6-1, 6} Can I understand this as having calculated the configuration: $$ p^{1}L^{2}d^{-2} $$ For the following restriction: CalcRestrictions = {NFermi, 0, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_3d"]), nd, nd+2}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ligand"]), 10-1, 10}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_2p"]), 6-1, 6}} Can I interpret it as having calculated the configuration: $$ p^{1}L^{1}d^{-2} $$ where only one charge is allowed to be transferred to the transition metal? If my understanding is correct, what can we say about the following restriction? CalcRestrictions = {NFermi, 0, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_3d"]), nd, nd+2}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ligand"]), 10-2, 10}, {DeterminantString(NFermi,Index["Ni_2p"]), 6-1, 6}} I appreciate your help in clarifying this matter.
