A new quasirelativistic density-functional theory (DFT) method accurately calculates excitation energies for heavy elements. This approach simplifies relativistic calculations, offering results comparable to more complex methods with moderate computational savings.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Accurate calculation of excitation energies in heavy elements is crucial for understanding their chemical properties.
  • Existing relativistic methods, like four-component DFT, are computationally demanding.
  • The zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) offers a computationally less expensive alternative for relativistic effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a time-dependent quasirelativistic density-functional theory (TD-QRDFT) for excitation energies of heavy element systems.
  • To incorporate a noncollinear adiabatic exchange-correlation kernel and address gauge dependence in the ZORA Hamiltonian.
  • To simplify relativistic calculations by leveraging time-reversal symmetry for closed-shell ground states.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a time-dependent quasirelativistic DFT based on the ZORA approximation.
  • Utilized a model atomic potential to construct the ZORA kinetic operator, avoiding gauge dependence.
  • Applied an independent-particle approximation for the induced density matrix to simplify the eigenvalue equation.

Main Results:

  • The developed TD-QRDFT method was applied to the AuH molecule, investigating electronic states.
  • Spectroscopic parameters, including excitation energies and bond properties, were calculated.
  • Results show good agreement with four-component relativistic DFT and ab initio methods.

Conclusions:

  • The new two-component relativistic TD-DFT method provides accurate excitation energies for heavy element systems.
  • The approach offers a computationally more efficient alternative to four-component methods, though advantages are moderate.
  • This method advances the study of relativistic effects in molecular systems.
