rmcdhf,ASF serial numbers

[zhaojingyan3]

In rmcdhf,what does ASF serial numbers need to be
inputted based on?

Hi,
The ASF serial numbers are usually the order numbers of the state within the symmetry. As an example we want to do the calculation for the four levels 1s^22s2p ^3P0,1,2 and ^1P1 simultaneously. The J = 0 and J = 2 levels are the lowest of their symmetry. The two J = 1 are the lowest and the second lowest of their symmetry. In the rmcdhf calculation, we would specify this by saying that we want the serial number 1 of symmetry J = 0, the serial numbers 1 and 2 of symmetry J = 1, and the serial number 1 of symmetry J = 2.

Hello,
When you run > rcsfblock you will see as an output NCSF with an integer for each block. If you want to include all these configurations in the rmcdhf calculation, then, list all the numbers comma separated 1,...,N for each block where N is the number given from the rcsfblock calculation.

I hope this helps

Dear Jingyan
In my perspective, you can read the CSFs output file. You can see Block1, Block2, Block3, and so on. Each Block has many CSFs. And the ASF serial number is to choose which state (or CSF) will be researched. When you input number 1 in the block, it means the first CSF in this block will be regarded as the ASF to be investigated. And all these CSFs in the block will be regarded as the expansion of that ASF you have chosen just now. By the way, the first CSF in the block will always be the none excitation.
If you have any issue worth being discussed, you can contact me.
Good luck!
