The density dependence of the critical in-plane magnetic field Bc at the bifurcation of the resistivity of two-dimensional electron systems with low levels of disorder is determined using the spin-polarization dependence of the electron exchange-correlation hole. Recent numerical simulation results for ground-state energies also permit determination of the magnetic field Bpol(n) needed to satur...

Vignale and Kohn have recently formulated a local density approximation to the time-dependent linear response of an inhomogeneous electron system in terms of a vector potential for exchange and correlation. The vector potential depends on the induced current density through spectral kernels to be evaluated on the homogeneous electron gas. After a brief review of their theory, the case of inhomo...

The ionization potentials and electron affinities of thymine, cytosine, adenine, guanine, and uracil were determined at density functional level using different exchange-correlation functionals and basis sets. Results showed that the computed ionization potentials are very close to the experimental counterparts. The sign of adiabatic electron affinities of adenine, thymine, and uracil is unaffe...

The effect of the exchange-correlation potential in ab initio electron transport calculations is investigated by constructing optimized effective potentials using different energy functionals or the electron density from second-order perturbation theory. The authors calculate electron transmission through two atomic chain systems, one with charge transfer and one without. Dramatic effects are c...

The spectrum of a photoexcited electron pair carries detailed information on the electron-electron interaction in metals. This is deduced from the results of a theoretical model presented here for the treatment of the double-photoelectron emission from surfaces. Main features in the two-particle spectra are assigned to (a) the exchange-correlation interaction, (b) the electronic band structure,...

We have investigated the ground and excited state properties of two electron atoms using our Fixed-Phase method, including an analysis of exchange and correlation. We present results of our calculations with a trial phase which corresponds to the atomic Hartree-Fock one.

The possibility of formulating a time-dependent current-functional theory which describes the linear responses of systems of inhomogeneous, interacting electron gas to an arbitrary form of time-dependent electromagnetic field is studied. A Kohn-Sham-type theory for the dynamical electronic conductivity tensor is derived and a local-density type of approximation for the resulting exchange-correl...

The equation of motion the Green's function a many-electron system is shown to be governed by multiplicative exchange-correlation potential, in contrast self-energy. Crucially, this potential simply Coulomb an hole and fulfills sum rule. formulation offers simple physical interpretation for propagation added electron or may provide route density-functional-like approximations calculating functi...
