Example: MCD including zero-field splitting: H2O¶
Example for the calculation of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) including zero-field splitting (ZFS). If the subkey MCD is included in the key EXCITATIONS the MCD parameters of the calculated excitations are calculated (A and B terms). The keys RELATIVISTIC ZORA and SOMCD are required for a calculation of temperature-dependent C terms. The key ALLPOINTS is required for an MCD calculation (if the molecule has symmetry). For zero-field splitting (ZFS) the electron spin S \(\leq\) 1.
