Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory

Abstract

Density functional theory for stationary states or ensembles is a formulation of many-body theory in terms of the particle density, rho(r). It is now a mature subject which has had many successful applications. Time-dependent density functional theory as a complete formalism is of more recent origin. A detailed description of time-dependent density-functional formalism is presented with emphasis on evolving applications. Keywords: Time-dependent density functional theory, Frequency-dependent linear response, Local field correction, Frequency-dependent local density approximation, Photoabsorption of atoms and molecules, Response of metallic surfaces.
