In its current formulation, it is cost-effective and has a better scaling behaviour compared to other wavefunction based correlation methods. To broaden the application field for RPA, it is necessary to have first order properties available. RPA nuclear gradients allow for structure optimizations and data sampling for machine learning applications. We report on an efficient implementation of RPA nuclear gradients for massively parallel computers. We apply the implementation to two polymorphs of the benzene crystal obtaining very good cohesive and relative energies. Different correction and extrapolation schemes are investigated for further improvement of the results and in order to estimate error bars.</dc:description> <dc:identifier>https://archive.materialscloud.org/record/2023.127</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>doi:10.24435/materialscloud:g2-7d</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>mcid:2023.127</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>oai:materialscloud.org:1854</dc:identifier> <dc:language>en</dc:language> <dc:publisher>Materials Cloud</dc:publisher> <dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights> <dc:rights>Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode</dc:rights> <dc:subject>density-functional theory</dc:subject> <dc:subject>random phase approximation</dc:subject> <dc:subject>polymorphs</dc:subject> <dc:subject>benzene</dc:subject> <dc:subject>high performance computing</dc:subject> <dc:subject>nuclear gradients</dc:subject> <dc:subject>PASC</dc:subject> <dc:title>Massively parallel implementation of gradients within the Random Phase Approximation: Application to the polymorphs of benzene</dc:title> <dc:type>Dataset</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
