چکیده

We have studied the collective plasma excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas with an arbitrary lateral charge-density modulation. The dynamics is formulated using a previously developed hydrodynamic theory based on the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizsäcker approximation. In this approach, both the equilibrium and dynamical properties of the periodically modulated electron gas are treated in a consistent fashion. We pay particular attention to the evolution of the collective excitations as the system undergoes the transition from the ideal two-dimensional limit to the highly-localized one-dimensional limit. We also calculate the power absorption in the long-wavelength limit to illustrate the effect of the modulation on the modes probed by far-infrared (FIR) transmission spectroscopy.

Stability of Atoms and Molecules in an Ultrarelativistic Thomas–fermi–weizsäcker Model

In the non relativistic case, some emphasis has been placed on the question of an appropriate choice of the coefficient λ of the gradient term connected to the kinetic energy. The non relativistic gradient correction λ(∇ρ)2/ρ was initially derived by Weizsäcker [14] with a value λ = 1, whereas the systematic gradient expansion by Kirznits [7, 6] leads to λ = 1/9. In the derivation of Tomishima ...

Thomas-Fermi charge mixing for obtaining self-consistency in density functional calculations

We present a method for charge mixing in self-consistent density functional calculations which uses the Thomas-Fermi-von Weizsäcker equation to solve implicitly for the charge density response function to the potential. This approach has significant improvements over existing methods, particularly for inhomogeneous systems with large unit cells which commonly suffer from poor convergence due to...

Optimizing a parametrized Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsäcker density functional for atoms.

Because of issues with accuracy and transferability of existing orbital-free (OF) density functionals, OF functional development remains an active research area. However, due to numerical difficulties, all-electron self-consistent assessment of OF functionals is limited. Using an all-electron radial OFDFT code, we evaluate the performance of a parametrized OF functional for a wide range in para...
