Abstract

We report on the first formulation of a novel polarizable QM/MM approach, where the density functional tight binding (DFTB) is coupled to the fluctuating charge (FQ) force field. The resulting method (DFTB/FQ) is then extended to the linear response within the TD-DFTB framework and challenged to study absorption spectra of large condensed-phase systems.
