Equation-of-Motion Coupled-Cluster Cumulant Green's Function for Excited States and X-Ray Spectra.

ABSTRACT: Green's function methods provide a robust, general framework within many-body theory for treating electron correlation in both excited states and x-ray spectra. Conventional methods using the Dyson equation or the cumulant expansion are typically based on the GW self-energy approximation. In order to extend this approximation in molecular systems, a non-perturbative real-time coupled-cluster cumulant Green's function approach has been introduced, where the cumulant is obtained as the solution to a system of coupled first order, non-linear differential equations. This approach naturally includes non-linear corrections to conventional cumulant Green's function techniques where the cumulant is linear in the GW self-energy. The method yields the spectral function for the core Green's function, which is directly related to the x-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) of molecular systems. The approach also yields very good results for binding energies and satellite excitations. The x-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) is then calculated using a convolution of the core spectral function and an effective, one-body XAS. Here this approach is extended to include the full coupled-cluster-singles (CCS) core Green's function by including the complete form of the non-linear contributions to the cumulant as well as all single, double, and triple cluster excitations in the CC amplitude equations. This approach naturally builds in orthogonality and shake-up effects analogous to those in the Mahan-Noizeres-de Dominicis edge singularity corrections that enhance the XAS near the edge. The method is illustrated for the XPS and XAS of NH₃.

Excited States from State-Specific Orbital-Optimized Pair Coupled Cluster.

Project description:The pair coupled cluster doubles (pCCD) method (where the excitation manifold is restricted to electron pairs) has a series of interesting features. Among others, it provides ground-state energies very close to what is obtained with doubly occupied configuration interaction (DOCI), but with a polynomial cost (compared with the exponential cost of the latter). Here, we address whether this similarity holds for excited states by exploring the symmetric dissociation of the linear H4 molecule. When ground-state Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals are employed, pCCD and DOCI excited-state energies do not match, a feature that is assigned to the poor HF reference. In contrast, by optimizing the orbitals at the pCCD level (oo-pCCD) specifically for each excited state, the discrepancies between pCCD and DOCI decrease by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude. Therefore, the pCCD and DOCI methodologies still provide comparable energies for excited states, but only if suitable, state-specific orbitals are adopted. We also assessed whether a pCCD approach could be used to directly target doubly excited states, without having to resort to the equation-of-motion (EOM) formalism. In our Δoo-pCCD model, excitation energies are extracted from the energy difference between separate oo-pCCD calculations for the ground state and the targeted excited state. For a set comprising the doubly excited states of CH+, BH, nitroxyl, nitrosomethane, and formaldehyde, we found that Δoo-pCCD provides quite accurate excitation energies, with root-mean-square deviations (with respect to full configuration interaction results) lower than those of CC3 and comparable to those of EOM-CCSDT, two methods with a much higher computational cost.

Accurate Band Gap Predictions of Semiconductors in the Framework of the Similarity Transformed Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Theory.

Project description:In this work, we present a detailed comparison between wave-function-based and particle/hole techniques for the prediction of band gap energies of semiconductors. We focus on the comparison of the back-transformed Pair Natural Orbital Similarity Transformed Equation of Motion Coupled-Cluster (bt-PNO-STEOM-CCSD) method with Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and Delta Self Consistent Field/DFT (?-SCF/DFT) that are employed to calculate the band gap energies in a test set of organic and inorganic semiconductors. Throughout, we have used cluster models for the calculations that were calibrated by comparing the results of the cluster calculations to periodic DFT calculations with the same functional. These calibrations were run with cluster models of increasing size until the results agreed closely with the periodic calculation. It is demonstrated that bt-PNO-STEOM-CC yields accurate results that are in better than 0.2 eV agreement with the experiment. This holds for both organic and inorganic semiconductors. The efficiency of the employed computational protocols is thoroughly discussed. Overall, we believe that this study is an important contribution that can aid future developments and applications of excited state coupled cluster methods in the field of solid-state chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis.

Excited-State Geometry Optimization of Small Molecules with Many-Body Green's Functions Theory.

Project description:We present a benchmark study of gas phase geometry optimizations in the excited states of carbon monoxide, acetone, acrolein, and methylenecyclopropene using many-body Green's functions theory within the GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) employing numerical gradients. We scrutinize the influence of several typical approximations in the GW-BSE framework; we used one-shot G0W0 or eigenvalue self-consistent evGW, employing a fully analytic approach or plasmon-pole model for the frequency dependence of the electron self-energy, or performing the BSE step within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation. The obtained geometries are compared to reference results from multireference perturbation theory (CASPT2), variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method, second-order approximate coupled cluster (CC2) method, and time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). We find overall a good agreement of the structural parameters optimized with the GW-BSE calculations with CASPT2, with an average relative error of around 1% for the G0W0 and 1.5% for the evGW variants based on a PBE0 ground state, respectively, while the other approximations have negligible influence. The relative errors are also smaller than those for CC2 and TDDFT with different functionals and only larger than VMC, indicating that the GW-BSE method does not only yield excitation energies but also geometries in good agreement with established higher-order wave function methods.

Accurate Excited-State Geometries: A CASPT2 and Coupled-Cluster Reference Database for Small Molecules.

Project description:We present an investigation of the excited-state structural parameters determined for a large set of small compounds with the dual goals of defining reference values for further works and assessing the quality of the geometries obtained with relatively cheap computational approaches. In the first stage, we compare the excited-state geometries obtained with ADC(2), CC2, CCSD, CCSDR(3), CC3, and CASPT2 and large atomic basis sets. It is found that CASPT2 and CC3 results are generally in very good agreement with one another (typical differences of ca. 3 × 10-3 Å) when all electrons are correlated and when the aug-cc-pVTZ atomic basis set is employed with both methods. In a second stage, a statistical analysis reveals that, on the one hand, the excited-state (ES) bond lengths are much more sensitive to the selected level of theory than their ground-state (GS) counterparts and, on the other hand, that CCSDR(3) is probably the most cost-effective method delivering accurate structures. Indeed, CCSD tends to provide too compact multiple bond lengths on an almost systematic basis, whereas both CC2 and ADC(2) tend to exaggerate these bond distances, with more erratic error patterns, especially for the latter method. The deviations are particularly marked for the polarized CO and CN bonds, as well as for the puckering angle in formaldehyde homologues. In the last part of this contribution, we provide a series of CCSDR(3) GS and ES geometries of medium-sized molecules to be used as references in further investigations.

Excited States of Metal-Adsorbed Dimethyl Disulfide: A TDDFT Study with Cluster Model.

Project description:The optical near field refers to a localized light field near a surface that can induce photochemical phenomena such as dipole-forbidden transitions. Recently, the photodissociation of the S-S bond of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) was investigated using a scanning tunneling microscope with far- and near-field light. This reaction is thought to be initiated by the lowest-energy highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) transition of the DMDS molecule under far-field light. In near-field light, photodissociation proceeds at lower photon energies than in far-field light. To gain insight into the underlying mechanism, we theoretically investigated the excited states of DMDS adsorbed on Cu and Ag surfaces modeled by a tetrahedral 20-atom cluster. The frontier orbitals of the molecule were delocalized by the interaction with the metal, resulting in narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO gap energy. The excited-state distribution was analyzed using the Mulliken population analysis, decomposing molecular orbitals into metal and DMDS fragments. The excited states of the intra-DMDS transitions were found over a wider energy range, but at low energies, their oscillator strengths were negligible, which is consistent with the experimental results. Sparse modeling analysis showed that typical electronic transitions differed between the higher and lower excited states. If these low-lying excited states are efficiently excited by near-field light with different selection rules, the S-S bond dissociation reaction can proceed.

Nitrogen <i>K</i>-Edge X-ray Absorption Spectra of Ammonium and Ammonia in Water Solution: Assessing the Performance of Polarizable Embedding Coupled Cluster Methods.

Project description:The recent development of liquid jet and liquid leaf sample delivery systems allows for accurate measurements of soft X-ray absorption spectra in transmission mode of solutes in a liquid environment. As this type of measurement becomes increasingly accessible, there is a strong need for reliable theoretical methods for assisting in the interpretation of the experimental data. Coupled cluster methods have been extensively developed over the past decade to simulate X-ray absorption in the gas phase. Their performance for solvated species, on the contrary, remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the current state of the art of coupled cluster modeling of nitrogen K-edge X-ray absorption of aqueous ammonia and ammonium based on quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics, where both the level of coupled cluster calculations and polarizable embedding are scrutinized. The results are compared to existing experimental data as well as simulations based on transition potential density functional theory.

Excitation spectra and brightness optimization of two-photon excited probes.

Project description:Two-photon probe excitation data are commonly presented as absorption cross section or molecular brightness (the detected fluorescence rate per molecule). We report two-photon molecular brightness spectra for a diverse set of organic and genetically encoded probes with an automated spectroscopic system based on fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The two-photon action cross section can be extracted from molecular brightness measurements at low excitation intensities, while peak molecular brightness (the maximum molecular brightness with increasing excitation intensity) is measured at higher intensities at which probe photophysical effects become significant. The spectral shape of these two parameters was similar across all dye families tested. Peak molecular brightness spectra, which can be obtained rapidly and with reduced experimental complexity, can thus serve as a first-order approximation to cross-section spectra in determining optimal wavelengths for two-photon excitation, while providing additional information pertaining to probe photostability. The data shown should assist in probe choice and experimental design for multiphoton microscopy studies. Further, we show that, by the addition of a passive pulse splitter, nonlinear bleaching can be reduced--resulting in an enhancement of the fluorescence signal in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy by a factor of two. This increase in fluorescence signal, together with the observed resemblance of action cross section and peak brightness spectra, suggests higher-order photobleaching pathways for two-photon excitation.

Infrared, Raman, and ultraviolet absorption spectra and theoretical calculations and structure of 2,6-difluoropyridine in its ground and excited electronic states.

Project description:The infrared and Raman spectra of 2,6-difluoropyridine (26DFPy) along with ab initio and DFT computations have been used to assign the vibrations of the molecule in its S0 electronic ground state and to calculate its structure. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum showed the electronic transition to the S1(?,?*) state to be at 37,820.2 cm(-1). With the aid of ab initio computations the vibrational frequencies for this excited state were also determined. TD-B3LYP and CASSCF computations for the excited states were carried out to calculate the structures for the S1(?,?*) and S2(n,?*) excited states. The CASSCF results predict that the S1(?,?*) state is planar and that the S2(n,?*) state has a barrier to planarity of 256 cm(-1). The TD-B3LYP computations predict a barrier of 124 cm(-1) for the S1(?,?*) state, but the experimental results support the planar structure. Hypothetical models for the ring-puckering potential energy function were calculated for both electronic excited states to show the predicted quantum states. The changes in the vibrational frequencies in the two excited states reflect the weaker ? bonding within the pyridine ring.

Infrared, Raman, and Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra and Theoretical Calculations and Structure of 2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoropyridine in its Ground and Excited Electronic States.

Project description:Infrared and Raman spectra of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine (TFPy) were recorded and vibrational frequencies were assigned for its S0 electronic ground states. Ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to complement the experimental work. The lowest electronic excited state of this molecule was investigated with ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy and theoretical CASSCF calculations. The band origin was found to be at 35,704.6 cm-1 in the ultraviolet absorption spectrum. A slightly puckered structure with a barrier to planarity of 30 cm-1 was predicted by CASSCF calculations for the S1(π,π*) state. Lower frequencies for the out-of-plane ring bending vibrations for the electronic excited state result from the weaker bonding within the pyridine ring.

Excited protein states of human tear lipocalin for low- and high-affinity ligand binding revealed by functional AB loop motion.

Project description:Human tear lipocalin (TL), a prominent member of lipocalin family, exhibits functional and structural promiscuity. The plasticity of loop regions modulates entry to the ligand pocket at the "open" end of the eight-stranded beta-barrel. Site-directed multi-distance measurements using fluorescence resonance energy transfer between functional loops register two excited protein states for low- and high-affinity ligand binding. At low pH, the longest loop AB adopts the conformation of the low-affinity excited protein state that matches the crystal structure of holo-TL at pH 8. A "crankshaft" like movement is detected for the loop AB in a low pH transition. At pH 7.3 the holo-protein assumes a high-affinity excited protein state, in which the loop AB is more compact (RMS=3.1A). In the apo-holo transition, the reporter Trp 28 moves about 4.5A that reflects a decrease in distance between Glu27 and Lys108. This interaction fixes the loop AB conformation for the high-affinity mode. No such movement is detected at low pH, where Glu27 is protonated. Data strongly indicate that the protonation state of Glu27 modulates the conformation of the loop AB for high- and low-affinity binding.
