Charge transfer driven by electron correlation: a non-Dyson propagator approach.
A hole charge created in a molecular system, for instance, by ionization, can migrate through the system solely driven by electron correlation. This charge transfer due to electron correlation is referred to as charge migration. We introduce in this work a new ab initio method analyzing charge migration due to electron correlation in molecules. This method, a third-order "non-Dyson" propagator approach, aims in the long run, in particular, at the calculation of charge migration in relatively large molecules such as oligopeptides. First results of the new non-Dyson method are compared with a previously used propagator approach.
