Calculations of static and dynamic polarizabilities of excited states by means of density functional theory

J Chem Phys. 2004 Oct 22;121(16):7595-600. doi: 10.1063/1.1794635.

Abstract

We present density functional theory and calculations for excited state second order, static or dynamic, properties. The excited state properties are identified from a double residue of a cubic response function. The performance of various functionals, including the generalized gradient approximation and fractional exact Hartree-Fock exchange, is compared to coupled cluster calculations. Applications on excited state polarizabilities of s-tetrazine and pyrimidine show a good agreement with ab initio correlated, coupled cluster, results.
