Single-Point Energy — energy()

psi4.energy(name[, molecule, return_wfn, restart_file])[source]

Function to compute the single-point electronic energy.

Returns

float – Total electronic energy in Hartrees. SAPT & EFP return interaction energy.

Returns

(float, Wavefunction) – energy and wavefunction when return_wfn specified.

PSI variables

Parameters
  • name (str) –

    'scf' || 'mp2' || 'ci5' || etc.

    First argument, usually unlabeled. Indicates the computational method to be applied to the system.

  • molecule (molecule) –

    h2o || etc.

    The target molecule, if not the last molecule defined.

  • return_wfn (boolean) –

    'on' || \(\Rightarrow\) 'off' \(\Leftarrow\)

    Indicate to additionally return the Wavefunction calculation result as the second element (after float energy) of a tuple.

  • write_orbitals (str, boolean) –

    filename || \(\Rightarrow\) 'on' \(\Leftarrow\) || 'off'

    (str) Save wfn containing current orbitals to the given file name after each SCF iteration and retain after PSI4 finishes.

    (boolean) Turns writing the orbitals after the converged SCF on/off. Orbital file will be deleted unless PSI4 is called with -m flag.

  • restart_file (str) –

    ['file.1, file.32] || ./file || etc.

    Existing files to be renamed and copied for calculation restart, e.g. a serialized wfn or module-specific binary data.
