Simulation of Electronic Circular Dichroism with Rigid Kohn-Sham Orbitals: A Computational Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
Electronic circular dichroism spectra transition energies and intensities were modeled using the independent particle model within the Kohn-Sham theory. The data obtained were compared with higher level calculations and experimental data. Since the model describes main features in the experimental spectra qualitatively well, it is being proposed as a fast and efficient simulation technique for systems which cannot be dealt with by more sophisticated computations. The best results were obtained with the common B3LYP hybrid density functional.

Chiroptical properties from time-dependent density functional theory. I. Circular dichroism spectra of organic molecules
We report the implementation of the computation of rotatory strengths, based on time-dependent density functional theory, within the Amsterdam Density Functional program. The code is applied to the simulation of circular dichroism spectra of small and moderately sized organic molecules, such as oxiranes, aziridines, cyclohexanone derivatives, and helicenes. Results agree favorably with experime...
متن کاملFirst principles structures and circular dichroism spectra for the close-packed and the 7/2 motif of collagen
The recently proposed close-packed motif for collagen is investigated using first principles semi-empirical wave function theory and Kohn-Sham density functional theory. Under these refinements the close-packed motif is shown to be stable. For the case of the 7/2 motif a similar stability exists. The electronic circular dichroism of the close-packed model has a significant negative bias and a l...

Kohn–Sham (KS) and Hartree–Fock (HF) determinants were used as the true many-body wave functions for calculations of molecular energies, vibrational frequencies, and excited electronic states. The results justified common practice, encountered in the sum over states theories, in which these two determinants are used as the first-order approximation of the wave function. However, a distinct beha...
متن کاملOrbitals in Quantum Chemistry
Orbitals, on the one hand, are often considered as auxiliary quantities without physical meaning for various reasons. Slater determinants, e.g., Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham determinants, are invariant with respect to unitary transformations of the occupied orbitals. Within densityfunctional theory (DFT) orbitals frequently are considered as quantities that merely generate the electron density but...
متن کاملAdaptive local basis set for Kohn-Sham density functional theory in a discontinuous Galerkin framework I: Total energy calculation
Kohn-Sham density functional theory is one of the most widely used electronic structure theories. Uniform discretization of the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian generally results in a large number of basis functions per atom in order to resolve the rapid oscillations of the Kohn-Sham orbitals around the nuclei. Previous attempts to reduce the number of basis functions per atom include the usage of atomic ...
