The time-dependent density functional based tight-binding (TD-DFTB) approach is generalized to account for fractional occupations. In addition, an on-site correction leads to marked qualitative and quantitative improvements over the…

We present two improvements to the tight-binding approximation of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFTB): Firstly, we add an exact Hartree-Fock exchange term, which is switched on at large distances, to the ground state…

In this study, two different simple and intuitive semiempirical schemes for computing approximate non-adiabatic coupling vectors (NACVs) between the ground and excited electronic states are presented. The first approximation makes use of…

A software package, called DFTBaby, is published, which provides the electronic structure needed for running non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations at the level of charge-consistent tight-binding DFT. A long-range correction is…

Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) is an attractive method for accelerated quantum simulations of condensed matter due to its enhanced computational efficiency over standard Density Functional Theory approaches. However, DFTB models…

The adiabatic connection of density functional theory (DFT) for electronic systems is generalized here to negative values of the coupling strength $\alpha$ (with {\em attractive} electrons). In the extreme limit $\alpha\to-\infty$ a simple…

We propose a nonadiabatic time-dependent spin-density functional theory (TDSDFT) approach for studying the single-electron excited states and the ultrafast response of systems with strong electron correlations. The correlations are…

A generalization of the density-functional based tight-binding method (DFTB) for the use with range-separated exchange-correlation functionals is presented. It is based on the Generalized Kohn-Sham (GKS) formalism and employs the density…

Modern density functional theory (DFT) calculations employ the Kohn-Sham (KS) system of non-interacting electrons as a reference, with all complications buried in the exchange-correlation energy (Exc). The adiabatic connection formula gives…
