Frequency-dependent electron-hole interaction in the calculation of absorption spectra — •Lorenzo Sponza1,2, Matteo Guzzo1,2, Christine Giorgetti1,2, and Lucia Reining1,21LSI - Ecole Polytechnique — 2European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility

State of the art calculations of optical spectra rely on the Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) which is usually solved in a static approximation. The inclusion of dynamical effects is however crucial to describe aspects important e.g. in the design of some high efficiency solar devices[1]. Even if different attempts to perform dynamical-BSE exist[2,3,4], there is still the need for a more efficient and flexible method that would allow one to cover all aspects for realistic systems.

We devised a two step scheme to include dynamical effects in optical spectra. To this aim, we first evaluate dynamical effects in the independent e-h correlation function as a pre-processing method that relies on the solution of an integro-differential equation[5]. Then, using this result as input for an appropriate static BSE-like equation, we evaluate the full spectra including dynamical effects. Our results explains when those effects are strong, and when they are instead weakened by interference effects.
