Exchange and Correlation Kernels at the Resonance Frequency -- Implications for Excitation Energies in Density-Functional Theory

Materials Science 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

Specific matrix elements of exchange and correlation kernels in time-dependent density-functional theory are computed. The knowledge of these matrix elements not only constraints approximate time-dependent functionals, but also allows to link different practical approaches to excited states, either based on density-functional theory, or on many-body perturbation theory, despite the approximations that have been performed to derive them.
