External electric field in periodic systems This operator is not consistent with the periodic boundary conditions, it is not bound and breaks the translational invariance of the system. Derivative in k: a lot of problems! We want analytical derivatives The Omega operator is the matrix representation of the field operator in AO basis At zero field: 18
The Omega operator is the matrix representation of the field operator in AO basis At zero field: Imaginary diagonal elements undefined: must be avoided! Mixed derivatives of total energy 19
Mixed derivatives of total energy If we differentiate this w.r.t. atomic displacements we get Mixed derivatives of total energy If we differentiate this w.r.t. atomic displacements we get This is not good. We want to avoid to solve perturbation equations for the atomic displacements. 20
Mixed derivatives of total energy Much better to start from here Where we introduce the eigenvalue-weighted density matrix Because : occupation matrix since Mixed derivatives of total energy Much better to start from here! Also note that the density matrix inside the Fock operator is not differentiated with respect to displacements Only gradients of the integrals are needed 21
Moving on: we differentiate once w.r.t. field Taken at zero field, this is the expression for the IR intensity. Note the derivative of DW. Moving on: we differentiate once w.r.t. field Taken at zero field, this is the expression for the IR intensity. Note the derivative of DW. The diagonal elements of are undefined, but it appears in two places with opposite sign. Diagonal blocks cancel out! 22
Let us differentiate once more w.r.t. field Things get more complicated Again, it can be demonstrated that the diagonal blocks of vanish. The same is true for Raman intensities We reformulate the previous expression as 23
Raman intensities We reformulate the previous expression as Virt-occ block of appears only in that is inside What must be computed: 1) One CPHF calculation 2) One CPHF2 calculation (only for Raman) 3) Integral gradients at the equilibrium geometry. IR and Raman tensors are built assembling all these ingredients and then contracted with eigenmodes. 24

Coffee - Conclusions Conclusions Infrared and Raman spectra can be now fully simulated with CRYSTAL A new formalism based on CPHF has been implemented Since all derivaties are performed analytically, the method is efficient and stable with respect to computational parameters Comparison with experiments is very good 49
