The KPACK program is intended for relativistic electronic structure computation of molecules containing heavy elements via the two-component ab initio calculations in Kramers restricted and unrestricted formalisms in the framework of the spin-orbit relativistic effective core potential (SOREP).
The spin-orbit coupling as relativistic effect enters into the calculation at the Hartree-Fock level and hence, is treated in a variational manner to generate two-component molecular spinors as one-electron wavefunctions for use in the correlated methods. As correlated methods, KPACK currently provides the two-component second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, configuration interaction, and complete active space self-consistent field methods.
