Quadratic-response theory is shown to provide a conceptually simple but accurate approximation for the self-consistent one-electron potential of semiconductor nanostructures. Numerical examples are presented for GaAs/AlAs and InGaAs/InP…
A new type of effective atomic pseudopotential for passivation of semiconductor surfaces is presented. It is shown that the spherical approximation used in the effective and empirical pseudopotential methods is not suitable for describing…
The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) provides a unified description of the structure and reaction. The linear approximation leads to the random-phase approximation (RPA) which is capable of describing a variety of collective…
Experiments on atoms in intense laser pulses and the corresponding exact ab initio solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation (TDSE) yield photoelectron spectra with low-energy features that are not reproduced by the otherwise…
New results for electric dipole strength in the chain of even-even Calcium isotopes with the mass numbers A = 40 - 54 are presented. Starting from the covariant Lagrangian of Quantum Hadrodynamics, spectra of collective vibrations (phonons)…
A recent modification of the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction-correction (SIC) to the density-functional formalism (Pederson, Ruzsinszky, Perdew) has provided a framework for explicitly restoring unitary invariance to the expression for the…
We describe the behavior of the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction-corrected local density approximation (SIC-LDA) functional when implemented in a plane-wave pseudopotential formalism with Wannier functions. Prototypical semiconductors and…
Quantum effects of plasmonic phenomena have been explored through ab-initio studies, but only for exceedingly small metallic nanostructures, leaving most experimentally relevant structures too large to handle. We propose instead an…
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…
Using time-dependent current-density functional theory, we derive analytically the dynamical exchange-correlation correction to the DC conductance of nanoscale junctions. The correction pertains to the conductance calculated in the…
We point out that the local density approximation (LDA) of Oliva is an adaptation of the Thomas-Fermi method, and is a good approximation when $\varepsilon = \hbar\omega/kT <<1$. For the case of scattering length $a > 0$, the LDA leads to a…
We apply the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA) to calculate dipole excitations in small carbon clusters. A strong low-frequency mode is found which agrees well with observation for clusters C_n with n in the range 7-15. The…
A real-space representation of the current response of many-electron systems with possible applications to x-ray nonlinear spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibilities is developed. Closed expressions for the linear, quadratic and third-order…
The formalism of density functional theory (DFT) can be easily extended to the time dependent case (TDDFT). However, while in the static case the theory is well established and is expected to be, at least in principle, an exact approach for…
We formulate a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in terms of the density matrix to study ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor structures. A system of equations for the density matrix components, which is equivalent to the…
We investigate the applicability of the two existing versions of a time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation (TDGA) beyond the frequently used limit of infinite spatial dimensions. To this end, we study the two-particle response functions of…
To calculate static response properties of a many body system, local density approximation (LDA) can be safely applied. But applicability of LDA is limited for the case of dynamical response functions since dynamics of the system needs to…
By combining the Self-Interaction Correction (SIC) with pseudopotential perturbation theory, the role of self-interaction errors inherent to the Local Density Approximation (LDA) to Density Functional Theory is estimated in the…
The Semiempirical Pseudopotential Method (SEPM) has emerged as a valuable tool for accurately determining band structures, especially in the realm of low-dimensional materials. SEPM operates by utilizing atomic pseudopotentials, which are…
The increasing need to simulate the dynamics of photoexcited molecular and nanosystems in the sub-picosecond regime demands new efficient tools able to describe the quantum nature of matter at a low computational cost. By combining the…
