Entwicklung eines additiven, korrigierenden Potentials für Charge-Transfer-Zustände in zeitabhängiger Dichtefunktionaltheorie

在过去的十年中，含时密度泛函理论（TDDF）已经成为计算中大分子激发态的最流行的方法之一，因为它以非常低的计算成本对典型的实验可观察的激发态表现出显着的准确性。然而，激发态的电荷转移（CT）的字符描述只有很差的TDDFT限制其普遍适用性。拟议项目的目标是开发一个校正，添加剂，长程潜力的改进描述CT激发态TDDFT。其关键思想是包含精确的Hartree-Fock交换在长距离与距离相关的能量转移相结合，使典型的交换相关（xc）潜力的短程属性保持不变。从而避免了对标准xc势进行繁琐的重新拟合，使我们的修正势具有普遍的适用性。由此产生的易于实施到现有的量子化学程序包中，将可能导致理论化学界的广泛应用和广泛接受。

Within the last ten years, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDF) has become one of the most popular methods for the calculation of excited states of medium-sized and large molecules, because it exhibits a remarkable accuracy for typical, experimentally observable excited states at a comparably low computational cost. However, excited states with charge-transfer (CT) character are described only very poorly with TDDFT limiting its general applicability substantially. The goal of the proposed project is the development of a corrective, additive, long-range potential for an improved description of CT excited states in TDDFT. The key idea is an inclusion of exact Hartree-Fock exchange at long range in combination with a distant-dependent energy shift such that the short-range properties of typical exchange-correlation (xc) potentials remain unchanged. Thereby a tedious re-fitting of standard xc-potential can be avoided, which makes our corrective potential universally applicable. The resulting ease of implementation into existing quantum chemistry program packages, will potentially lead to wide application and broad acceptance in the theoretical chemistry community.
