AbstractIn this work, we show that an implementation of Coulomb-attenuated density-functional theory leads to considerably better prospects than hitherto for modeling two-photon absorption cross sections for charge-transfer species. This functional, which corrects for the effect of poor asymptotic dependence of commonly used functionals, essentially brings down the widely different results for larger charge-transfer species between Hartree--Fock and DFT-B3LYP into a closer range. The Coulomb-attenuated functional, which retains the best aspects of the Hartree--Fock and DFT-B3LYP methods, proves to be very promising for further modeling design of multiphoton materials with technical applications.
