A scaled CIS(D) based method for the calculation of valence and core electron ionization energies (2019)
Journal Article
Hanson-Heine, M. W. D., George, M. W., & Besley, N. A. (2019). A scaled CIS(D) based method for the calculation of valence and core electron ionization energies. Journal of Chemical Physics, 151(3), Article 034104. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5100098

The calculation of electron ionisation energies is a key component for the simulation of photoelectron spectroscopy. CIS(D) is a perturbative doubles correction for the single excitation configuration interaction (CIS) method which provides a new appr...
