Abstract

The parallel implementation of the spin-free 1-electron Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH) Hamiltonian in NWChem. The use of a standard nonrelativistic contracted basis set could produce erroneous results for the elements beyond the first row elements. The calculation of scalar relativistic effects of DKH at the Hartree-Frock level of bond distances for vibrational frequencies and total dissociation energies was also presented.
