Dielectric environment profoundly affects the optical properties of colloidal quantum dots (QDs), and modelling of the screening effects remains a challenging task. The recently developed Atomic Effective Pseudopotential (AEP) method provides single-particle energies and wave functions with close to ab-initio quality for colloidal QDs with atomistic passivation [1]. Configuration Interaction (CI) approach was implemented on top of ground-state wave functions to investigate excitonic properties of QDs [2]. We have developed the norm-dependent screening using masking function [3] applied to the individual wave functions. The method offers the opportunity to treat electron-electron interactions fully in reciprocal space, which considerably speeds up calculations, and considers both macroscopic (long-range) and microscopic (short-range) screening effects. The high-level transferability on different semiconductor materials and the influence of the non-polar solvents on the exciton binding energy were demonstrated. The obtained results were compared to the low-temperature experiments as well as to other CI-based models. [1] Karpulevich A. et al. (2016) Phys.Rev.B, 94 [2] Franceschetti A. and Zunger, A.
