Water SCF calculation and geometry optimization in a 6-31g basis
The Getting Started input file performs a geometry optimization in a single task. A single point SCF energy calculation is performed and then restarted to perform the optimization (both could of course be performed in a single task).
Job 1. Single point SCF energy
start h2o title "Water in 6-31g basis set" geometry units au O 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 H 0.00000000 1.43042809 -1.10715266 H 0.00000000 -1.43042809 -1.10715266 end basis H library 6-31g O library 6-31g end task scf
The final energy should be -75.983998.
Job 2. Restarting and perform a geometry optimization
restart h2o title "Water geometry optimization" task scf optimize
There is no need to specify anything that has not changed from the previous input deck, though it will do no harm to repeat it.
Compute the polarizability of Ne using finite field
Job 1. Compute the atomic energy
start ne title "Neon" geometry; ne 0 0 0; end basis spherical ne library aug-cc-pvdz end scf; thresh 1e-10; end task scf
The final energy should be -128.496350.
Job 2. Compute the energy with applied field
An external field may be simulated with point charges. The charges here apply a field of magnitude 0.01 atomic units to the atom at the origin. Since the basis functions have not been reordered by the additional centers we can also restart from the previous vectors, which is the default for a restart job.
restart ne title "Neon in electric field" geometry units atomic bq1 0 0 100 charge 50 ne 0 0 0 bq2 0 0 -100 charge -50 end task scf
The final energy should be -128.496441, which together with the previous field-free result yields an estimate for the polarizability of 1.83 atomic units. Note that by default NWChem does not include the interaction between the two point charges in the total energy.
SCF energy of H2CO using ECPs for C and O
The following will compute the SCF energy for formaldehyde with ECPs on the Carbon and Oxygen centers.

MP2 optimization and CCSD(T) on nitrogen
The following performs an MP2 geometry optimization followed by a CCSD(T) energy evaluation at the converged geometry. A Dunning correlation-consistent triple-zeta basis is used. The default of Cartesian basis functions must be overridden using the keyword spherical on the BASIS directive. The 1s core orbitals are frozen in both the MP2 and coupled-cluster calculations (note that these must separately specified). The final MP2 energy is -109.383276, and the CCSD(T) energy is -109.399662.
