Accurate Electron Affinities and Orbital Energies of Anions from a Nonempirically Tuned Range-Separated Density Functional Theory Approach

Journal Article Anderson, Lindsey N. ; Oviedo, M. Belén ; Wong, Bryan M. - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

The treatment of atomic anions with Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) has long been controversial because the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy, E_HOMO, is often calculated to be positive with most approximate density functionals. We assess the accuracy of orbital energies and electron affinities for all three rows of elements in the periodic table (H–Ar) using a variety of theoretical approaches and customized basis sets. Among all of the theoretical methods studied here, we find that a nonempirically tuned range-separated approach (constructed to satisfy DFT-Koopmans’ theorem for the anionic electron system) provides the best accuracy for a variety ofmore »« less

Accurate Nonempirical Range-Separated Hybrid van der Waals Density Functional for Complex Molecular Problems, Solids, and Surfaces

Journal Article Shukla, Vivekanand ; Jiao, Yang ; Lee, Jung-Hoon ; ... - Physical Review. X

We introduce a new, general-purpose, range-separated hybrid van der Waals density functional termed vdW-DF2-ahbr within the nonempirical vdW-DF method [Hyldgaard, et al. J. Phys. Condens. Matter 32, 393001 (2020)]. It combines a correlation from vdW-DF2 with a screened Fock exchange that is fixed by a new model of exchange effects in the density-explicit vdW-DF-b86r or rev-vdW-DF2 functional [Hamada, Phys. Rev. B 89, 121103(R) (2014)]. The new vdW-DF2-ahbr prevents spurious exchange binding and has a small-density-gradient form set from many-body perturbation analysis. It is accurate for bulk as well as layered materials, and it systematically and significantly improves the performance ofmore »« less

Charge-transfer excitations in low-gap systems under the influence of solvation and conformational disorder: Exploring range-separation tuning

Journal Article Queiroz, Thiago B. de, ; Kümmel, Stephan - Journal of Chemical Physics

Charge transfer excitations play a prominent role in the fields of molecular electronics and light harvesting. At the same time they have developed a reputation for being hard to predict with time-dependent density functional theory, which is the otherwise predominant method for calculating molecular structure and excitations. Recently, it has been demonstrated that range-separated hybrid functionals, in particular with an “optimally tuned” range separation parameter, describe charge-transfer excitations reliably for different molecules. Many of these studies focused on molecules in vacuum. Here we investigate the influence of solvation on the electronic excitations of thiophene oligomers, i.e., paradigm low gap systems.more »« less
