We present a multiscale method coupling the theory of open quantum systems with real-time ab initio treatment of electronic structure to study hot-carrier dynamics in photoexcited plasmonic systems. We combine the Markovian Stochastic Schrödinger equation with an ab initio GW coupled to the Bethe–Salpeter (BSE) equation description of the electronic degrees of freedom, interacting with a metallic nanoparticle modeled classically according to the polarizable continuum model. We apply this methodology to study the effect of relaxation (T1) and pure dephasing (T2) times on the hot-carrier dynamics in a system composed of a quantum portion described at GW/BSE level, i.e., a CHO fragment adsorbed on a vertex of a rhodium nanocube, and of the rest of the nanocube, treated classically, when irradiated with a 2.7 eV light pulse, inspired by the experimental results on plasmon-driven CO2 photoreduction. A net hole injection from rhodium to CHO is observed, with and without the classical portion of the nanocube. The nanocube effect is to enhance the generated charge population by two orders of magnitude. The nonradiative decay, via a relaxation time T1 based on the energy-gap law, produces a rapid decrease of the charge population. Results with T2 only show that a charge injection retarded with respect to the pulse, which is present in the coherent dynamics, disappears when coherence is erased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
