โฆ Synopsis
The time-dependent local-density approximation TDLDA is applied to the optical response of conjugated carbon molecules in the energy range of 0แ30 eV, with calculations given for carbon chains, polyenes, retinal, benzene, and C . The major 60 feature of the spectra, the collective แ * transition, is seen at energies ranging from below 2 to 7 eV and is reproduced by the theory to a few tenths of an electron volt with a good account of systematic trends. However, there is some indication that TDLDA predicts too much fragmentation of the strength function in large molecules. Transition strengths are reproduced with a typical accuracy of 20%. The theory also predicts a broad absorption peak in the range of 15แ25 eV, and this feature agrees with experiment in the ลฝ . one case where quantitative data is available benzene .
