Abstract

In this article we discuss a problem of proper balancing of the non-iterative corrections to the ground- and excited-state energies obtained with approximate coupled cluster (CC) and Equation-of-Motion CC (EOMCC) approaches. It is demonstrated that for a class of excited states dominated by single excitations and for states with medium doubly excited component the newly introduced embedded variant of the Method of Moments of Coupled Cluster equations provides mathematically rigorous way of balancing the ground- and excited-state correlation effects. The resulting noniterative methodology accounting for the effect of triples (Em-EOMCCSD(T)) is tested using its parallel implementation on the systems for which iterative CC/EOMCC calculations with full inclusion of triply excited configurations or their most important subset is numerically feasible.
