Capturing Non-local Effects in Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory : Dispersion and Charge Transfer Phenomena

Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its time-dependent extension (TDDFT) have become two of the most popular approaches for computer simulations of the electronic structure and response properties of quantum systems. A reasonable compromise between accurac ...

Charge transfer relaxation in donor–acceptor type conjugated materials

Ursula Röthlisberger, Andrey Laktionov, Mariateresa Scarongella, Natalie Renuka Banerji

The development of conjugated materials bearing electron-rich and electron-poor units along their backbone introduces new possibilities to control functionality for organic electronic applications through charge transfer character in ground and excited sta ...

Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Ultrafast Phenomena

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Marilisa Neri, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Stefano Vanni, Andrey Laktionov, Thomas James Penfold

A thorough theoretical description of ultrafast phenomena that occur in complex systems constitutes a formidable challenge. It not only necessitates the use of quantum mechanical methods that can describe ground and possibly even electronically excited sta ...

Nonadiabatic coupling vectors for excited states within time-dependent density functional theory in the Tamm-Dancoff approximation and beyond

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Andrey Laktionov

Recently, we have proposed a scheme for the calculation of nonadiabatic couplings and nonadiabatic coupling vectors within linear response time-dependent density functional theory using a set of auxiliary many-electron wavefunctions [ I. Tavernelli, E. Tap ...
