Recent experimental findings reveal non-conventional fluorescence emission in biological systems devoid of conjugated bonds or aromatic compounds, termed \textit{Non-Aromatic Fluorescence} (NAF). This phenomenon is exclusive to aggregated…
We present a new approach to studying nanoparticle collisions using Density Functional based Tight Binding (DFTB). A novel DFTB parameterisation has been developed to study the collision process of Sn and Si nanoparticles (NPs) using…
As density functional theory conventionally assumes that the density of a chosen model system (e.g., the Kohn-Sham system) is the same as the exact one, one might expect that approximations to the exact density introduce supplementary…
Two-terminal spintronic devices remain challenging to model under realistic operating conditions, where the interplay of complex electronic structures, correlation effects and bias-driven non-equilibrium dynamics may significantly impact…
The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is the leading computationally feasible theory to treat excitations by strong electromagnetic fields. Here the theory is applied to coherent optical phonon generation produced by intense…
We perform model calculations for a stretched LiF molecule, demonstrating that nonadiabatic charge transfer effects can be accurately and seamlessly described within a density functional framework. In alkali halides like LiF, there is an…
Modern density functional approximations achieve moderate accuracy at low computational cost for many electronic structure calculations. Some background is given relating the gradient expansion of density functional theory to the WKB…
We propose a systematic and constructive way to determine the exchange-correlation potentials of density-functional theories including vector potentials. The approach does not rely on energy or action functionals. Instead it is based on…
Multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PFDT) has previously been applied successfully to carry out ground-state and excited-state calculations. However, because it includes no interaction between electronic states, MC-PDFT…
The nonadiabatic electron-phonon corrections for the superconducting pairing are investigated for a specific tight-binding model corresponding to a 2d square lattice. This permits to investigate the role of various specific properties like…
The non-radiative electron-relaxation dynamics in C$_{60}$ molecule is studied after selective initial photoexcitations. The methodology includes nonadibabtic molecular simulation combined with time-dependent density functional theory (DFT)…
We carry out a first-principles atomistic study of the electronic mechanisms of ligand binding and discrimination in the myoglobin protein. Electronic correlation effects are taken into account using one of the most advanced methods…
As part of a project to obtain better optical response functions for nano materials and other systems with strong excitonic effects we here calculate the exchange-correlation (XC) potential of density-functional theory (DFT) at a level of…
Embedded density functional theory (e-DFT) is used to describe the electronic structure of strongly interacting molecular subsystems. We present a general implementation of the Exact Embedding (EE) method [J. Chem. Phys. 133, 084103 (2010)]…
In this work, we extend the source-free (SF) exchange correlation (XC) functional developed by Sangeeta Sharma and co-workers to plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) based on the projector augmented wave (PAW) method. This constraint…
Elemental rare-earth metals provide a playground for studying novel electron correlation effects and complex magnetism. However, ab initio simulations of these systems remain challenging. Here, we employ fully charge self-consistent density…
The exact functionals associated with the (singlet) ground and the two singlet excited states of the asymmetric Hubbard dimer at half-filling are calculated using both Levy's constrained search and Lieb's convex formulation. While the…
Quantum-mechanical (QM) simulations, thanks to their predictive power, can provide significant insights into the nature and dynamics of defects such as vacancies, dislocations and grain boundaries. These considerations are essential in the…
A decomposition of the exact exchange-correlation potential of time-dependent density functional theory into an interaction component and a kinetic component offers a new starting point for non- adiabatic approximations. The components are…
For classical many-body systems subject to Brownian dynamics we develop a superadiabatic dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) for the description of inhomogeneous fluids out-of-equilibrium. By explicitly incorporating the dynamics of…
