Real-time, local basis-set implementation of time-dependent density functional theory for excited state dynamics simulations

Real-time linear response for time-dependent density-functional theory.

We present a linear-response approach for time-dependent density-functional theories using time-adiabatic functionals. The resulting theory can be performed both in the time and in the frequency domain. The derivation considers an impulsive perturbation after which the Kohn-Sham orbitals develop in time autonomously. The equation describing the evolution is not strictly linear in the wave funct...

Implementation of the analytic energy gradient for the combined time-dependent density functional theory/effective fragment potential method: application to excited-state molecular dynamics simulations.

Excited-state quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics simulations are performed, to examine the solvent effects on the fluorescence spectra of aqueous formaldehyde. For that purpose, the analytical energy gradient has been derived and implemented for the linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) combined with the effective fragment potential (EFP) method....

Subsystem real-time time dependent density functional theory.

We present the extension of Frozen Density Embedding (FDE) formulation of subsystem Density Functional Theory (DFT) to real-time Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (rt-TDDFT). FDE is a DFT-in-DFT embedding method that allows to partition a larger Kohn-Sham system into a set of smaller, coupled Kohn-Sham systems. Additional to the computational advantage, FDE provides physical insight into...

Localized-density-matrix implementation of time-dependent density-functional theory

Modified regional self-interaction corrected time-dependent density functional theory for core excited-state calculations

A modified regional self-interaction correction (mRSIC) method is proposed for obtaining accurate core-excitation energies in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. The mRSIC method is an improvement of the RSIC method (Tsuneda et al. J Comput Chem 2003, 24, 1592). It takes into account the energy contributions from 2s and higher atomic orbitals that the RSIC method negl...
