Spectra computed with various functionals:

More realistic model of solvent

Including Molecular Dynamics

Analyzing configurational snapshots

Influence of various geometrical distortions

Absorption spectrum of alizarin

TiO2 slab with squaraine dye

Experimental and TDDFT absorption spectra Experiment Computation

A more realistic system: Including the solvent

TDDFT calculation of optical spectra and related quantities Various challenges: System is large (429 atoms, electrons, PWs, resp PWs) Broad spectral region of interest Many excited states in spectral region Computational tool: Recursive Lanczos algorithm for TDDFT

TDDFT optical spectrum: dry system Energy [eV]

TDDFT optical spectrum including solvent Energy [eV]

Energy level fluctuations and electron injection driving force

Dye desorption steps:

Conclusions TD-DFT study of naural dye in vacuum and with PCM Poor agreement with experiment in absence of solvent in computation Including the solvent explicitly Improvement of computed spectrum, but important features are not reproduced (shoulders, etc.) Very efficient implementation of TD-DFT for large systems/basis sets Recursive Lanczos TDDFT based on time-dependent DFPT for a system composed of 429 atoms and described by ≈ 200,000 PWs Molecular dynamics of dye sensitized slab with explicit solvent Averaging of optical properties over many configurations leads to a description of optical properties in good agreement with experiment
