In time-dependent density-functional theory, exchange and correlation (xc) beyond the adiabatic local density approximation can be described in terms of viscoelastic stresses in the electron liquid. In the time domain, this leads to a…
Most present applications of time-dependent density functional theory use adiabatic functionals, i.e. the effective potential at time t is determined solely by the density at the same time. This paper discusses a method that aims to go…
