σ-SCF: A direct energy-targeting method to mean-field excited states
The mean-field solutions of electronic excited states are much less accessible than ground state (e.g., Hartree-Fock) solutions. Energy-based optimization methods for excited states, like ∆-SCF (selfconsistent field), tend to fall into the lowest solution consistent with a given symmetry—a problem...
