Shortcut to Self-Consistent Light-Matter Interaction and Realistic Spectra from First Principles — •Christian Schäfer1,2 and Göran Johansson1 — 1Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, MC2, Chalmers University of Technology, 412 96 Göteborg, Sweden — 2Department of Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, 412 96 Göteborg, Sweden
Nanoplasmonic and optical cavity environments provide a novel handle to non-intrusively control materials and chemistry. We introduce here a simple approach to how an electromagnetic environment can be efficiently embedded into state-of-the-art electronic structure methods, taking the form of radiation-reaction forces [1]. We demonstrate that this self-consistently provides access to various optical effects and provides an efficient path to connect vastly different system scales [2]. As an example, we illustrate its seamless integration into time-dependent density-functional theory and its application to polaritonic chemistry with virtually no additional cost, presenting a convenient shortcut to self-consistent light-matter interactions.
