Abstract
Recently, we proposed a method to generalize collinear functionals to noncollinear functionals, called multicollinear approach, which has been applied in density functional theory (DFT) and linear-response time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) for the ground state and excited states calculations, respectively. In this work, we demonstrate the application of this method in real-time TDDFT by simulating electronic absorption spectra, Rabi resonance, and precession of a two-magnetic center system. Thanks to the nonvanishing local exchange-correlation torque provided by multicollinear functionals, research into the torques in the evolution of magnetization vector is carried out, which is useful for the exploration on spin dynamics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
