The quantum defect: the true measure of time-dependent density-functional results for atoms

Materials Science 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

Quantum defect theory is applied to (time-dependent) density-functional calculations of Rydberg series for closed shell atoms: He, Be, and Ne. The performance and behavior of such calculations is much better quantified and understood in terms of the quantum defect, rather than transition energies.
