A new parameter-free approximation for the exchange-correlation kernel $f_{\rm xc}$ of time-dependent density functional theory is proposed. This kernel is expressed as an algorithm in which the exact Dyson equation for the response as well…
Excitons are electron-hole pairs appearing below the band gap in insulators and semiconductors. They are vital to photovoltaics, but are hard to obtain with time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), since most standard…
For two prototype systems, we calculate the exact exchange-correlation kernels $f_{\mathrm{xc}}(x,x',\omega)$ of time-dependent density functional theory. $f_{\mathrm{xc}}$, the key quantity for optical absorption spectra of electronic…
A major obstacle for computing optical spectra of solids is the lack of reliable approximations for capturing excitonic effects within time-dependent density-functional theory. We show that the trustful prediction of strongly bound…
Starting from the many-body Bethe-Salpeter equation we derive an exchange-correlation kernel $f_{xc}$ that reproduces excitonic effects in bulk materials within time-dependent density functional theory. The resulting $f_{xc}$ accounts for…
The electronic exchange-correlation (XC) kernel constitutes a fundamental input for the estimation of a gamut of material properties such as the dielectric characteristics, the thermal and electrical conductivity, or the response to an…
Applying the novel exact-exchange (EXX) Kohn-Sham method within time-dependent density-functional theory, we obtained the optical absorption spectrum of bulk silicon in good agreement with experiments including excitonic features. Analysis…
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…
Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) has been currently established as a computationally cheaper, yet effective, alternative to the Many-Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) for calculating the optical properties of solids. Within…
In the description of the interaction between electrons beyond the classical Hartree picture, bare exchange often yields a leading contribution. Here we discuss its effect on optical spectra of solids, comparing three different frameworks:…
The exact exchange-correlation (xc) kernel $f_\mathrm{xc}(x,x',\omega)$ of linear response time-dependent density functional theory is computed over a wide range of frequencies, for three canonical one-dimensional finite systems. Methods…
Core-electron x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying the electronic structure and chemical composition of molecules, solids and surfaces. However, the interpretation of measured spectra and the assignment of…
We propose a spatially and temporally nonlocal exchange-correlation (xc) kernel for the spin-unpolarized fluid phase of ground-state jellium, for use in time-dependent density functional and linear response calculations. The kernel is…
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…
Within the framework of ab initio time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT), we propose a static approximation to the exchange-correlation kernel based on the jellium-with-gap model. This kernel accounts for electron-hole…
Linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) can describe excitonic features in the optical spectra of insulators and semiconductors, using exchange-correlation (xc) kernels behaving as $-1/k^{2}$ to leading order. We…
We present an exact expression for the frequency-dependent Kohn-Sham exact-exchange (EXX) kernel for periodic insulators, which can be employed for the calculation of electronic response properties within time-dependent (TD)…
We show that the analytic structure of the dynamical xc kernels of semiconductors and insulators can be sensed in terms of its poles which mark physically relevant frequencies of the system where the counter-phase motion of discrete…
The dynamical exchange-correlation kernel $f_{xc}$ of a non-uniform electron gas is an essential input for the time-dependent density functional theory of electronic systems. The long-wavelength behavior of this kernel is known to be of the…
The most accurate theoretical method to describe excitons is the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the GW approximation (GW-BSE). However, because of its computation cost, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is…
