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

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

Quasiparticle spectra from a nonempirical optimally tuned range-separated hybrid density functional

Journal Article Refaely-Abramson, Sivan ; Sharifzadeh, Sahar ; Govind, Niranjan ; ... - Physical Review Letters, 109(22):Article No. 226405

We present a method for obtaining quasiparticle excitation energies from a DFT-based calculation, but with accuracy that is comparable to that of many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation. The approach uses a range-separated hybrid density functional, with asymptotically exact and short-range fractional Fock exchange. The functional contains two parameters - the range separation and the short-range Fock fraction. Both are determined non-empirically, per system, based on satisfaction of exact physical constraints for the ionization potential and many-electron self-interaction, respectively. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated on the important benchmark molecule, 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianydride (PTCDA), where it is shown to bemore »« less
