- 요약Calculating condensed-phase electronic spectroscopy from first-principles can be extremely time-consuming, as it involves solving the electronic structure problem for both ground and excited states. In addition, spectra need to be averaged over hundreds of solute-solvent configurations drawn from a statistical mechanical ensemble, requiring an independent electronic structure calculation for each configuration. Finally, nuclear quantum effects should be taken into account in order to capture vibrational-electronic coupling, i.e. vibronic transitions. The aim of this thesis is to accelerate such calculations using first-principles fragmentation methods, such that the accuracy of predicted spectra can be elevated to quantitative agreement with experiment while achieving a low computational cost. We demonstrate the methods on a variety of challenging condensed-phase systems.Firstly, by leveraging the locality of hole states that result from core transitions, we calculated the K-edge X-ray Absorption spectrum (XAS) of the hydrated electron based on a fragmentation of the hole-particle transition density basis states of time-dependent density functional theory. The computational cost of the method is linear with the size of the system, accelerating XAS calculations in the condensed phase.Secondly, we calculated the absorption spectra of a chromophore in a solute-solvent system based on a molecular fragmentation approach. In particular, for systems in which the excitation is localized to a single molecule, i.e., the chromophore, the influence of the solvent environment can be captured one molecule at a time, within a many-body expansion (MBE) framework. For the first time, we benchmarked the convergence of the expansion order of the MBE for excitation energies in a condensed-phase system. We found that compared with the full-QM method, MBE reaches a comparable accuracy at the 2-body expansion term, while maintaining a linear scaling of the computation cost with the system size.Thirdly, we conducted deeper investigations into the aforementioned solute-solvent systems. We found that the inclusion of vibronic effects was crucial to attain quantitative agreement between predicted absorption spectra and our own experimental measurements. Even with the assumption of harmonicity in the ground and excited-state potential energy surfaces, inclusion of vibronic transitions is computationally costly, as it requires, in principle, geometry optimizations for both the ground and excited states and Franck-Condon spectral calculations for the ensemble of configurations. Building on the Zuehlsdorff-Isborn ensemble approach, we demonstrate that for our system, an ensemble of excited-state optimizations is unnecessary, since solute-solvent couplings lead to strong linear correlations between the vertical and adiabatic energy gaps. Then, only a small number of excited-state optimizations are required to parameterize the correlation, and to predict adiabatic excitations from knowledge of the vertical excitation energy. Using the resulting ensemble finite-temperature Franck-Condon approach, we recover quantitative agreement between theoretical and experimental absorption spectra.These discoveries highlight the significant impact that fragmental approaches can have on modeling spectroscopy by decreasing the computational cost. With these acceleration methods, we expect to obtain spectra of various substances in silico with quantitative agreement with experiment, and to predict spectra for substances that are not yet synthesized or discovered. The suite of methods has great potential to connect the macroscopic observables of complex systems with their microscopic, molecular properties at a moderate computational cost.
