2. Tranquil,
3. Calm,

I am looking for all moods/atmospheres in all facets of photography (landscape, portraits, still-life, everything.) I need to identify all the different moods that can be created in photography in a whole - later I will categorize them and document the ways to accomplish the mood, but first I need to name them before I can continue...

Just a recommendation: if you don't have it already, get photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro. You can get ANY effect that you can imagine with almost any photo with it =)
EDIT:
Your question makes no sense. Better luck next year.

depends on the subject of your photo (a person, a on object, or scenery) and what mood you are trying to create. i am willing to help, but i can't if i don't know what you are trying to do. can you provide additional details?
tranquil--use subtle colors, and have the person focus on an object away from the camera and relax
romantic--position the couple with the guy on one knee, with her hand in his as if he was proposing. You can have him give her a long-stemmed rose also. or shoot them looking directly into each other's eyes. try both smiling and not.
Remember to always consider colors, (background as well as the colors your subjects are wearing) and consider whether a color or black and white shot is best. Also, props can come in handy when setting the mood.
And for those cases when you are in doubt, be sure to contact a professional photographer for advice. Most love what they do and would really like to teach others what they have learned.
Most of all, remember, practice makes perfect. Just be creative and have fun.

You can create any mood you want by using appropriate settings. Black and white pictures can convey a lot of moods. There are filters available to create moods. Soft hues, sharp hues, dusky, foggy...you name it, you got it. If you are shooting in a studio you can have backgrounds that would create all kinds of moods. You should play around with the various settings relating to time and aperture. I have found some interesting pictures that were shot out of focus.
It is hard to put every kind of mood here. There are hundreds of moods...angry, irritated, happy, joyful, sad, disappointed, expectant, thoughtful, preplexed, anxious, exhilarating, etc.

Weather, fog, sunlight, colors, facial expressions, IR, Color, Black and White, etc...
I am a big fan of depicting stormy weather in black and white to create mood. I know, I know, it is a cliche, but I like it.
--- EDIT
Ok, all of the moods I suppose. Anger, Lust, Surprise, Hate, Love, Pain, Joy, Bored, Excited, Rich, Poor, Suicidal, New Born, Perplexed, Graduated, Disgusted...I can go on and on.
I must remind you that you specifically asked "how do you accomplish them?"
