Ultranonlocality in time-dependent current-density-functional theory: application to conjugated polymers.
We solve the long-standing problem of the large overestimation of the static polarizability of conjugated polymers obtained using the local density approximation within density-functional theory. The local approximation is unable to describe the highly nonlocal exchange and correlation (xc) effects found in these quasi-one-dimensional systems. Time-dependent current-density-functional theory en...
متن کاملStochastic time-dependent current-density-functional theory.
A time-dependent current-density-functional theory for many-particle systems in interaction with arbitrary external baths is developed. We prove that, given the initial quantum state |Psi0> and the particle-bath interaction operator, two external vector potentials A(r,t) and A'(r,t) that produce the same ensemble-averaged current density, j(r,t), must necessarily coincide up to a gauge transfor...
متن کاملPrediction of Excitation Energies for Conjugated Oligomers and Polymers from Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory
With technological advances, light-emitting conjugated oligomers and polymers have become competitive candidates in the commercial market of light-emitting diodes for display and other technologies, due to the ultralow cost, light weight, and flexibility. Prediction of excitation energies of these systems plays a crucial role in the understanding of their optical properties and device design. I...
متن کاملApplication of time-dependent density functional theory to optical activity
As part of a general study of the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA), we here report calculations of optical activity of chiral molecules. The theory automatically satisfies sum rules and the Kramers-Kronig relation between circular dichroism and optical rotatory power. We find that the theory describes the measured circular dichroism of the lowest states in methyloxirane with a...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Green Functions in Time-dependent Current-density-functional Theory∗
We give an overview of the underlying concepts of time-dependent current-densityfunctional theory (TDCDFT). We show how the basic equations of TDCDFT can be elegantly derived using the time contour method of nonequilibrium Green function theory. We further demonstrate how the formalism can be used to derive explicit equations for the exchange-correlation vector potentials and integral kernels f...
