Abstract

We use the elements of the single particle density matrix in the atomic orbital basis as the basic variables and the simulated annealing method as the optimization tool to locate the global minima on the potential surfaces of polythiophene and polyselenophene oligomers (PT)n, (PS)n with n up to 100. A modified version of the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger Hamiltonian is used to generate the PES and the unitary transformation of the density variables as the bond lengths change during random reconfiguring moves. The cost effectiveness of the method is analyzed.
