TD-DFTB analysis of time- and geometry-dependent excitonic couplings in PTCDI crystals — •Per-Arno Plötz¹, Jörg Megow², Thomas Niehaus³, and Oliver Kühn¹ — ¹Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Germany — ²Institut für Chemie, Universität Potsdam, Germany — ³Institut Lumière Materière, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France

Polarisation effects on chromophores and their influence to the excitonic coupling are simulated for a PTCDI (perylene-tetracorboxylic-diimide) crystal [1], whose thin films are possible building blocks for optoelectronics. Starting from a classical MD trajectory Frenkel exciton parameters are calculated, i.e. the monomeric transition energies as well as the Coulomb couplings between the on-site transitions. The efficient TBFE [2] method making use of tight-binding-based density functional theory in the linear response formulation (TD-DFTB) [3] is capable not only to follow the specific inter- but also the intramolecular structural changes in a thermal environment, distinguishing it from other methods computing the Coulomb coupling with fixed transition charges. Thus the calculation of the spectral density from a classical trajectory is possible. Its analysis provides the key to assign optical properties to specific vibrational modes.
