Ab initio Circular Dichroism with the Yambo code: applications to dipeptides

Chemical Physics 2022-12-14 v1

Abstract

Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a useful technique for characterizing chiral molecules. It is more sensitive than total absorption to molecule conformation, and it is routinely used to identify enantiomers. We present here a first principles implementation of CD with application to three cyclo-dipeptides. Our CD approach for molecules has been integrated in the 5.0 release of the Yambo code [1], distributed under GPL.
