We present a theoretical model to compute the accurate photoionization dynamical parameters (cross-sections, asymmetry parameters and orbital, or cross-section, ratios) from Dyson orbitals obtained with the multi-state complete active space perturbation theory to the second order (MS-CASPT2) method. Our new implementation of Dyson orbitals in OpenMolcas takes advantage of the full Abelian symmetry point group and has the corrected normalization. The Dyson orbitals are coupled to an accurate description of the electronic continuum obtained with a multicentric B-spline basis at the DFT and TD-DFT levels. Two prototype diatomic molecules, i.e., CS and SiS, have been chosen due to their smallness, which hides important correlation effects. These effects manifest themselves in the appearance of well-characterized isolated satellite bands in the middle of the valence region. The rich satellite structures make CS and SiS the perfect candidates for a computational study based on our highly accurate MS-CASPT2/B-spline TD-DFT protocol.

The widely used thermal Hartree-Fock (HF) theory is generalized to include the effect of electron correlation while maintaining its quasi-independent-particle framework. An electron-correlated internal energy (or grand potential) is postulated in consultation with the second-order finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), which then dictates the corresponding thermal orbital (quasiparticle) energies in such a way that all fundamental thermodynamic relations are obeyed. The associated density matrix is of a one-electron type, whose diagonal elements take the form of the Fermi-Dirac distribution functions, when the grand potential is minimized.

Electron attachment to pyridine results in electronic resonances, metastable states that can decay through electronic or nuclear degrees of freedom. This study uses orbital stabilization techniques combined with bound electronic structure methods, based on equation of motion coupled cluster or multi-reference methods, to calculate positions and widths of electronic resonances in pyridine that exist below 10 eV. We report four 2B1 and four 2A2 resonances, including one 2B1 not previously reported experimentally and two 2A2 resonances not reported at all in the literature.

Twisted bilayers host many emergent phenomena in which the electronic excitations (quasiparticles, QPs) are closely intertwined with the local stacking order. By inspecting twisted hexagonal boron nitride (t-hBN), we show that nonlocal long-range interactions in large twisted systems cannot be reliably described by the local (high-symmetry) stacking and that the band gap variation (typically associated with the moiré excitonic potential) shows multiple minima with variable depth depending on the twist angle. We investigate twist angles of 2.

New-generation electron propagator methods for calculating electron detachment energies of closed-shell molecules and anions have surpassed their predecessors' accuracy and computational efficiency. Derived from an Hermitian, intermediately normalized superoperator metric, these methods contain no adjustable parameters. To assess their versatility, a standard set (NIST-50-EA) of 50 vertical electron affinities of small closed-shell molecules based on NIST reference data has been created.

The fully self-consistent (sc) method with an iterative solution of the Dyson equation provides a consistent approach for describing the ground and excited states without any dependence on the mean-field reference. In this work, we present a relativistic version of sc for molecules containing heavy elements using the exact two-component (X2C) Coulomb approximation. We benchmark SOC-81 data set containing closed shell heavy elements for the first ionization potential using the fully self-consistent as well as one-shot .
