A survey is presented of the theoretical status of quadratic response theories for the understanding of nonlinear aspects in the interaction of charged particles with matter. In the frame of the many-body perturbation theory we study the…
A survey is presented of various aspects of the interaction of charged particles with solids. In the framework of many-body perturbation theory, we study the nonlinear interaction of charged particles with a free gas of interacting…
We report various many-body theoretical approaches to the nonlinear decay rate and energy loss of charged particles moving in an interacting free electron gas. These include perturbative formulations of the scattering matrix, the…
The electronic energy-loss straggling of protons and antiprotons moving at arbitrary nonrelativistic velocities in a homogeneous electron gas are evaluated within a quadratic response theory and the random-phase approximation (RPA). These…
The random phase approximation (RPA) has received a considerable interest in the field of modeling systems where noncovalent interactions are important. Its advantages over widely used density functional theory (DFT) approximations are the…
The interaction of a moving charged particle with its coherent electromagnetic field is analysed in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. It is shown that, when this interaction is taken into account, a spatially localized…
A nonlinear response theory is developed and applied to electrostatic interactions between spherical macroions, screened by surrounding microions, in charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. The theory describes leading-order nonlinear…
We present a general method based on nonlinear response theory to obtain effective interactions between ions in an electron gas which can also be applied to other systems where an adiabatic separation of time-scales is possible. Nonlinear…
The random-phase approximation (RPA) as an approach for computing the electronic correlation energy is reviewed. After a brief account of its basic concept and historical development, the paper is devoted to the theoretical formulations of…
The self-consistent random phase approximation (RPA) based on a correlated realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction is used to evaluate correlation energies in closed-shell nuclei beyond the Hartree-Fock level. The relevance of contributions…
The many-body theory of interacting electrons poses an intrinsically difficult problem that requires simplifying assumptions. For the determination of electronic screening properties of the Coulomb interaction, the Random Phase…
The random phase approximation (RPA) for the electron correlation energy, combined with the exact-exchange energy, represents the state-of-the-art exchange-correlation functional within density-functional theory (DFT). However, the standard…
Random Phase Approximation (RPA) is the theory most commonly used to describe the excitations of many-body systems. In this article, the secular equations of the theory are obtained by using three different approaches: the equation of…
The Random Phase Approximation (RPA) for total energies has previously been shown to provide a qualitatively correct description of static correlation in molecular systems, where density functional theory (DFT) with local functionals are…
We investigate the nonlinear interaction between a relativistically strong laser beam and a plasma in the quantum regime. The collective behavior of the electrons is modeled by a Klein-Gordon equation, which is nonlinearly coupled with the…
In recent work, generalized gradient approximations (GGA's) have been constructed from the energy density of the Airy gas for exchange but not for correlation. We report the random phase approximation (RPA) conventional correlation energy…
In this thesis we study the lateral electrostatic interaction between a pair of non-identical, moderately charged colloidal particles trapped at an electrolyte interface in the limit of short inter-particle separations. Using a simplified…
The random phase approximation (RPA) is attracting renewed interest as a universal and accurate method for first-principles total energy calculations. The RPA naturally accounts for long-range dispersive forces without compromising accuracy…
We report a variational approach to the nonlinearly screened interaction of charged particles with a many-electron system. This approach has been developed by introducing a modification of the Schwinger variational principle of scattering…
Self-consistent calculations of the energy-loss spectra of charged particles moving near a plane-bounded free electron gas are reported. Energy-loss probabilities are obtained, within linear-response theory, from the knowledge of the…
