Assessing weak hydrogen binding on Ca+ centers: An accurate many-body study with large basis sets

Assessing weak hydrogen binding on Ca+ centers: An accurate many-body study with large basis sets

Weak H2 physisorption energies present a significant challenge to even the best correlated theoretical many-body methods. We use the phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo method to accurately predict the binding energy of Ca+– 4H2. Attention has recently focused on this model chemistry to test the reliability of electronic structure methods …
