Multistate hybrid time-dependent density functional theory with surface hopping accurately captures ultrafast thymine photodeactivation
We report an efficient analytical implementation of first-order nonadiabatic derivative couplings between arbitrary Born–Oppenheimer states in the hybrid time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) framework using atom-centered basis functions. Our scheme is based on quadratic response theory and includes orbital relaxation terms neglected in previous approaches. Simultaneous computation of multiple derivative couplings and energy gradients enables efficient multistate nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with Tully's fewest switches surface hopping (SH) method. We benchmark the thus obtained multistate TDDFT-SH scheme by simulating ultrafast decay of UV-photoexcited thymine, for which accurate gas-phase data from ultrafast spectroscopy experiments are available. The calculations predict a fast 153 fs decay from the bright S 2 to the dark S 1 excited state, followed by a much slower 14 ps S 1 deactivation to the ground state; statistical uncertainties were estimated using bootstrap sampling. These results agree well with the experimentally observed time constants of 100–200 fs and 5–7 ps, respectively, unlike previous multiconfigurational self-consistent field and second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction calculations. Furthermore, our results support the S 1 -trapping hypothesis. For thymine, the computational cost of a single TDDFT-SH time-step including the lowest 3 states, all couplings and gradients, is ~5 times larger than the cost of a single Born–Oppenheimer dynamics time step for the ground state in our implementation. Thus, ps nonadiabatic dynamics simulations using multistate hybrid TDDFT-SH for systems with up to ~100 atoms are possible without drastic approximations on single workstation nodes. Our implementation will be made available through Turbomole.

Evidence for Bootstrap Percolation Dynamics in a Photoinduced Phase Transition
Upon intense femtosecond photo-excitation, a many-body system can undergo a phase transition through a non-equilibrium route, but understanding these pathways remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we use time-resolved second harmonic generation to investigate a photo-induced phase transition in Ca 3 Ru 2 O 7 and show that mesoscale inhomogeneity profoundly influences the transition dynamics. We observe a marked slowing down of the characteristic time τ that quantifies the transition between two structures. τ evolves non-monotonically as a function of photo-excitation fluence, rising from below 200 fs to ~1.4 ps, then falling again to below 200 fs. To account for the observed behavior, we perform a bootstrap percolation simulation that demonstrates how local structural interactions govern the transition kinetics. Finally, our work highlights the importance of percolating mesoscale inhomogeneity in the dynamics of photo-induced phase transitions and provides a model that may be useful for understanding such transitions more broadly.
