1 6 M ar 2 00 1 Exchange - correlation kernels for excited states in solids
نویسنده
چکیده
The performance of several common approximations for the exchange-correlation kernel within time-dependent density-functional theory is tested for elementary excitations in the homogeneous electron gas. Although the adiabatic local-density approximation gives a reasonably good account of the plasmon dispersion, systematic errors are pointed out and traced to the neglect of the wavevector dependence. Kernels optimized for atoms are found to perform poorly in extended systems due to an incorrect behavior in the long-wavelength limit, leading to quantitative deviations that significantly exceed the experimental error bars for the plasmon dispersion in the alkali metals.

New ab initio potential energy surfaces for the Π ground electronic state of the Ar–SH complex are presented, calculated at the RCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV5Z level. Weakly bound rotation-vibration levels are calculated using coupled-channel methods that properly account for the coupling between the two electronic states. The resulting wavefunctions are analysed and a new adiabatic approximation includin...

The ground and excited vibrational states for the three hydrogen isotopes on the Pd(111) surface have been calculated. Notable features of these states are the high degree of anharmonicity, which is most prominently seen in the weak isotopic dependence of the parallel vibrational transition, and the narrow bandwidths of these states, which imply that atomic hydrogen is localized on a particular...
متن کاملAdiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation DFT for the structural properties of solids-The renormalized ALDA and electron gas kernels.
We present calculations of the correlation energies of crystalline solids and isolated systems within the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation formulation of density-functional theory. We perform a quantitative comparison of a set of model exchange-correlation kernels originally derived for the homogeneous electron gas (HEG), including the recently introduced renormalized adiabatic loca...
متن کاملExchange and Correlation Kernels at the Resonance Frequency: Implications for Excitation Energies in Density-Functional Theory
Specific matrix elements of exchange and correlation kernels in time-dependent density-functional theory are computed. The knowledge of these matrix elements not only constrains approximate timedependent functionals. It also allows one to link different practical approaches to excited states, based either on density-functional theory or on many-body perturbation theory, despite the approximatio...

We search for three-neutron resonances which were predicted from pion double charge exchange experiments on 3 He. All partial waves up to J = 5 2 are nonresonant except the J π = 3 2 + one, where we find a state at E = 14 MeV energy with 13 MeV width. The parameters of the mirror state in the three-proton system are E = 15 MeV and Γ = 14 MeV. The possible existence of an excited state in the tr...
