A method to compute optical spectra and exciton binding energies of molecules and solids based on the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the calculation of the screened Coulomb interaction in a finite field is presented.Abstract:
We present a method to compute optical spectra and exciton binding energies of molecules and solids based on the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the calculation of the screened Coulomb interaction in a finite field. The method does not require either the explicit evaluation of dielectric matrices or of virtual electronic states, and can be easily applied without resorting to the random phase approximation. In addition, it utilizes localized orbitals obtained from Bloch states using bisection techniques, thus greatly reducing the complexity of the calculation and enabling the efficient use of hybrid functionals to obtain single particle wave functions. We report exciton binding energies of several molecules and absorption spectra of condensed systems of unprecedented size, including water and ice samples with hundreds of atoms.read more

A systematic benchmark of the ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation approach for low-lying optical excitations of small organic molecules
TL;DR: It is observed that the BSE produces results that depend critically on the mean-field starting point employed in the perturbative approach and that with a judicious choice of starting mean- field, singlet excitation energies obtained from BSE are in excellent quantitative agreement with higher-level wavefunction methods.
