XMVB 4.1 Release Announcement

Published Time:  2025-12-02 14:17:26

We are pleased to announce the official release of the latest version of the Xiamen Valence Bond (XMVB) program — XMVB 4.1! Users can now experience XMVB 4.1 online through the XMVB cloud computing platform or download and install it locally.

 

Key New Features:

1.    Added VBPT2 method based on the low-rank integral approximation (activated by combining INT=RI and VBPT2 keywords).

2.    Added VBPT2 method based on the cumulant approximation with keyword CUVBPT2.

3.    Core freezing and basis function reorganization functionality are now available with keyword BPREP.

4.    The valence bond block-diagonal diabatization method is now supported with keyword VBBDA=X.

5.    Support for calculations under point charge environments (with keyword POINTS) and external electric fields (by keyword EVEC).

6.    Fixed bugs in several features from the previous version (such as Newton-based VBSCF, VBCAD, VBCI, VBPT2, etc.), enhancing computational stability.

For more details, please refer to the user manual on our website https://xmvb.xmu.edu.cn/docs/xmvb/.

The XMVB program is continuously under development. We are committed to providing users with outstanding computational tools. Your feedback is invaluable to us. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.
