Abstract: The constrained density functional theory–configuration interaction (CDFT-CI) method has previously been used to calculate ground-state energies and barrier heights. In this work, it is examined for use in computing electronic excited states, for the challenging case of conical intersections. Conical intersections are a prevalent feature of excited electronic surfaces, but conventional time-dependent density functional theory calculations are found to be entirely unsatisfactory at describing them, for two small systems. CDFT-CI calculations on those systems are found to be in qualitative agreement with reference CAS surfaces. These results suggest that with a suitable definition of atomic populations and a careful choice of constrained states, CDFT-CI could be the basis for a seamless description of electronic degeneracy.

TL;DR: Calculations with onetep provide unique insights into large and complex systems that require an accurate atomic-level description, ranging from biomolecular to chemical, to materials, and to physical problems, as it is shown with a small selection of illustrative examples.
Electron dynamics with real-time time-dependent density functional theory
TL;DR: Real-time time-dependent functional theory (RT-TDDFT) as discussed by the authors directly propagates the electron density in the time domain by integrating the timedependent Kohn-Sham equations, in contrast to the popular linear response TDDFT matrix formulation that computes transition frequencies from a ground state reference.
