ESTOP = [real] 

Default: ESTOP = 0.05

Description: ESTOP specifies the stop condition for stochastic MP2.


ESTOP defines the energy accuracy in units of eV for each individual tau-point of the two individual MP2 energy contributions (direct MP2 term + exchange MP2 term). Since the statistical errors of each contribution is independent, the standard deviation of the MP2 energy can be estimated as

σ=ESTOP*2NOMEGA.

According to our experience, the error of the resulting MP2 energy can then be safely estimated by ±2σ.

Thus, if you require an MP2 energy with a maximum error of Δ, you should set

ESTOP=Δ22NOMEGA.
