Studies of spuriously shifting resonances in time-dependent density functional theory

Autoionizing resonances in time-dependent density functional theory.

Autoionizing resonances that arise from the interaction of a bound single-excitation with the continuum can be accurately captured with the presently used approximations in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), but those arising from a bound double excitation cannot. In the former case, we explain how an adiabatic kernel, which has no frequency-dependence, can yet generate the stron...

Time-dependent density functional theory.

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) can be viewed as an exact reformulation of time-dependent quantum mechanics, where the fundamental variable is no longer the many-body wave function but the density. This time-dependent density is determined by solving an auxiliary set of noninteracting Schrodinger equations, the Kohn-Sham equations. The nontrivial part of the many-body interacti...

Progress in time-dependent density-functional theory.

The classic density-functional theory (DFT) formalism introduced by Hohenberg, Kohn, and Sham in the mid-1960s is based on the idea that the complicated N-electron wave function can be replaced with the mathematically simpler 1-electron charge density in electronic structure calculations of the ground stationary state. As such, ordinary DFT cannot treat time-dependent (TD) problems nor describe...
