Bootstrap approximation for the exchange-correlation kernel of time-dependent density-functional theory.
A new parameter-free approximation for the exchange-correlation kernel f(xc) of time-dependent density-functional theory is proposed. This kernel is expressed as an algorithm in which the exact Dyson equation for the response, as well as an approximate expression for f(xc) in terms of the dielectric function, are solved together self-consistently, leading to a simple parameter-free kernel. We a...
متن کاملDeorbitalization strategies for meta-generalized-gradient-approximation exchange-correlation functionals
We explore the simplification of widely used meta-generalized-gradient approximation (mGGA) exchangecorrelation functionals to the Laplacian level of refinement by use of approximate kinetic-energy density functionals (KEDFs). Such deorbitalization is motivated by the prospect of reducing computational cost while recovering a strictly Kohn-Sham local potential framework (rather than the usual g...
متن کاملOptical properties of microcrystalline materials
We use optical, photocurrent and photothermal deflection spectroscopies to study defects in microcrystalline silicon Ž . mc-Si thin films and diamond layers. Enhanced light absorption in mc-Si films and solar cells is due to several contributions: light scattering, change in the optical transition probability for strained and surface atoms and residual Ž y1 amorphous fraction. Low defect densit...
متن کاملInfrared Optical Properties of Materials
Certain commercial entities, equipment, or materials may be identified in this document in order to describe an experimental procedure or concept adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor is it intended to imply that the entities, materials, or equipment are necessarily the best available for...
متن کاملDiscontinuities of the exchange-correlation kernel and charge-transfer excitations in time-dependent density-functional theory
We identify the key property that the exchange-correlation (XC) kernel of time-dependent density-functional theory must have in order to describe long-range charge-transfer excitations. We show that the discontinuity of the XC potential as a function of particle number induces a spaceand frequency-dependent discontinuity of the XC kernel that diverges as r → ∞. In a combined donor-acceptor syst...
