Accurate Rydberg excitations from the local density approximation.

چکیده
Despite the incorrect asymptotic behavior of its potential, the time-dependent local density approximation can yield accurate optical spectra. The oscillator strengths of Rydberg excitations appear in the calculated spectrum as continuum contributions with excellent optical intensity. We explain why, illustrate this for the neon and helium atoms, and also discuss when such calculations of the optical response will be inaccurate.

Rydberg transition frequencies from the local density approximation.
A method is given that extracts accurate Rydberg excitations from density functional calculations in the local density approximation, despite the short-ranged potential. For the case of He and Ne, the asymptotic quantum defects predicted by the calculations are in less than 5% error, yielding transition frequency errors of less than 0.1 eV.
متن کاملDouble, Rydberg and charge transfer excitations from pairing matrix fluctuation and particle-particle random phase approximation.
Double, Rydberg, and charge transfer (CT) excitations have been great challenges for time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Starting from an (N ± 2)-electron single-determinant reference, we investigate excitations for the N-electron system through the pairing matrix fluctuation, which contains information on two-electron addition/removal processes. We adopt the particle-particle ran...
متن کاملElectronic excitations from a linear-response range-separated hybrid scheme
We study linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory (DFT) based on the singledeterminant range-separated hybrid (RSH) scheme, i.e. combining a long-range Hartree-Fock exchange kernel with a short-range DFT exchange-correlation kernel, for calculating electronic excitation energies of molecular systems. It is an alternative to the more common long-range correction (LC) scheme which...
متن کاملDensity functional study of multiplicity-changing valence and Rydberg excitations of p-block elements: delta self-consistent field, collinear spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory (DFT), and conventional time-dependent DFT.
A database containing 17 multiplicity-changing valence and Rydberg excitation energies of p-block elements is used to test the performance of density functional theory (DFT) with approximate density functionals for calculating relative energies of spin states. We consider only systems where both the low-spin and high-spin state are well described by a single Slater determinant, thereby avoiding...
متن کاملRydberg excitation of Bose-Einstein condensates.
Rydberg atoms provide a wide range of possibilities to tailor interactions in a quantum gas. Here, we report on Rydberg excitation of Bose-Einstein condensed 87Rb atoms. The Rydberg fraction was investigated for various excitation times and temperatures above and below the condensation temperature. The excitation is locally blocked by the van der Waals interaction between Rydberg atoms to a den...
