Overview

Computational study demonstrates efficient excitation energy calculations in large molecules, indicating major accuracy gains over Hartree–Fock methods.

Key Points

  • To develop and evaluate an efficient implementation of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) alongside a faster matrix diagonalization algorithm for calculating electronic excitation spectra in large molecular systems.
  • Applied TDDFT within the adiabatic approximation to compute frequency-dependent response properties and excitation spectra across several molecules, including C70.
  • Developed an iterative diagonalization algorithm capable of solving large non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems required for hybrid functionals as well as standard Hermitian systems.
  • Tested performance against local, gradient-corrected, and hybrid exchange-correlation functionals, comparing accuracy and efficiency to Hartree–Fock-based random phase approximation methods.
  • The newly developed matrix diagonalization algorithm runs faster than the standard Davidson algorithm when applied to Hermitian eigenvalue problems in excitation energy calculations.
  • TDDFT yields substantial improvements in accuracy for molecules possessing low-lying excited states relative to Hartree–Fock-based approaches requiring similar computational effort.
