1. Nonlinear Optical Properties of Fullerenes, Oligomers, and Solutions
Abstract : This work presents development and applications of modern tools in ab initio quantum chemistry for obtaining linear and nonlinear response properties of molecules in the gas phase and in solution. The external perturbing fields are primarily electric in nature with frequencies in the optical region. READ MORE

2. Efficient Calculation of Nonlinear Spectroscopic Properties within the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Approximation
Abstract : This thesis introduces a novel computational scheme tailored for efficient calculations of nonlinear spectroscopic observables. First, a derivation and implementation of an algorithm designed to harness the linearity of the Fock matrix construction in calculating two-photon absorption cross-sections within the self-consistent field approximation is presented.

3. Implementation of complex polarization propagator theory for linear response properties of large molecular systems
Abstract : Since its beginning, the remarkable development from the first commercially available computers toward exascale supercomputers just within the span of a lifetime has been closely intertwined with the perpetual quest for the utilization of the arising computing power for the avail of theoretical chemistry. With the aim of further pushing the limits of computationally accessible molecular system sizes, this thesis includes the presentation of programming efforts, which brought forth two quantum chemical software codes, as well as a range of ab initio studies on carbon-based systems, enabled by the former.

4. Time-dependent molecular properties in the optical and x-ray regions
Abstract : Time-dependent molecular properties are important for the experimental characterization of molecular materials. We show how these properties can be calculated, for optical and x-ray frequencies, using novel quantum chemical methods. READ MORE

5. Derivation and application of response functions for nonlinear absorption and dichroisms
Abstract : This thesis is titled ’Derivation and application of response functions for nonlinear absorption and dichroisms’ and was written by Tobias Fahleson at the Division of Theoretical Chemistry & Biology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. It explores and expands upon theoretical means of quantifying a number of nonlinear spectroscopies, including two-photon absorption, resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, Jones birefringence, and magnetic circular dichroism.
