The explicit treatment of orbital relaxation using transition potential reference orbitals in the TP-CCSD(12) method significantly improves the accuracy of core-hole spectra, achieving similar levels of accuracy as EOM-CCSD in the valence region.
The problem of orbital relaxation in computational core-hole spectroscopies, including x-ray absorption and x-ray photoionization, has long plagued linear response approaches, including equation-of-motion coupled cluster with singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD). Instead of addressing this problem by including additional electron correlation, we propose an explicit treatment of orbital relaxation via the use of transition potential reference orbitals, leading to a transition-potential coupled cluster (TP-CC) family of methods. One member of this family, in particular, TP-CCSD(12), is found to essentially eliminate the orbital relaxation error and achieve the same level of accuracy for the core-hole spectra as is typically expected of EOM-CCSD in the valence region. These results show that very accurate x-ray absorption spectra for molecules with first-row atoms can be computed at a cost essentially the same as that for EOM-CCSD.
