摘要
A method is presented, in the context of MC-SCF theory, for the optimization of the lowest energy point of a conical intersection of two potential energy surfaces that does not require the use of Berry's phase condition. The technique uses existing methodology of quantum chemistry (analytical gradients) and does not require the determination of the Lagrange multiplier. The significance of the two constraints is discussed and a numerical demonstration is given.
