Constrained spin-density functional theory for excited magnetic configurations in an adiabatic approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic energy and the magnitudes of the magnetic moments are calculated for excited magnetic configurations with strong moment cantings. The calculations are performed by use of an exact constraining scheme for the moments via constraining fields, and by use of an approximate constraining scheme via the prescription of the local spin quantization axes in the spin atomic sphere approximation. It is shown that the latter constraining scheme becomes totally inadequate for systems with strong moment cantings. When increasing the degree of moment canting, the magnitudes of the moments remain rather stable for Fe but become completely unstable for Ni while for Co the situation is in between the two cases.

Charge transfer, double and bond-breaking excitations with time-dependent density matrix functional theory.
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in its current adiabatic implementations exhibits three remarkable failures: (a) completely wrong behavior of the excited state surface along a bond-breaking coordinate; (b) lack of doubly excited configurations; (c) much too low charge transfer excitation energies. These TDDFT failure cases are all strikingly exhibited by prototype two-electron ...

The massively parallelized full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave bulk and film program FLEUR for first-principles calculations in the context of density functional theory was adapted to allow calculations of materials with complex magnetic structures—i.e., with noncollinear spin arrangements and incommensurate spin spirals. The method developed makes no shape approximation to the charg...

The electronic spectra of UO2 2+ and UO2Cl4 2− are calculated with a recently proposed relativistic time-dependent density functional theory method based on the two-component zeroth-order regular approximation for the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling and a noncollinear exchange-correlation functional. All excitations out of the bonding u + orbital into the nonbonding u or u orbitals for UO2 2+ ...
