IRC DELTA0: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:23, 12 November 2023

IRC_DELTA0 = real
Default: IRC_DELTA0 = 0.0015

Description: Defines the tolerance factor [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_0 }[/math] in Å used in the IRC calculations.

The smaller the value of IRC_DELTA0, the closer the computed IRC trajectory follows the true IRC pathway. However, a small tolerance factor [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_0 }[/math] necessitates more time steps and, thus, computational effort.
