Isoscalar dipole mode in relativistic random phase approximation

The isoscalar giant dipole resonance structure in Pb is calculated in the framework of a fully consistent relativistic random phase approximation, based on effective mean-field Lagrangians with nonlinear meson self-interaction terms. The results are compared with recent experimental data and with calculations performed in the HartreeFock plus RPA framework. Two basic isoscalar dipole modes are ...

Pygmy dipole resonances in relativistic random phase approximation

The isovector dipole response in Pb is described in the framework of a fully self-consistent relativistic random phase approximation. The NL3 parameter set for the effective mean-field Lagrangian with nonlinear meson self-interaction terms, used in the present calculations, reproduces ground state properties as well as the excitation energies of giant resonances in nuclei. In addition to the is...

Electric dipole polarizabilities and C6 dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients for sodium clusters and C60.

The frequency-dependent polarizabilities of closed-shell sodium clusters containing up to 20 atoms have been calculated using the linear complex polarization propagator approach in conjunction with Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theories. In combination with polarizabilities for C(60) from a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124312 (2005)], the C(6) dipole-dipole dispersion coef...

1 Electric multipole plasmons in deformed sodium clusters

The random-phase-approximation (RPA) method with separable residual forces (SRPA) is proposed for the description of multipole electric oscillations of valence electrons in deformed alkali metal clusters. Both the deformed mean field and residual interaction are derived self-consistently from the Kohn-Sham functional. SRPA drastically simplifies the computational effort which is urgent if not d...
