The development of analytic-gradient methodology for excited states within conventional time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) would seem to offer a relatively inexpensive alternative better established quantum-chemical approaches the modeling photochemical reactions. However, even though TDDFT is formally exact, practical calculations involve use approximate functional, in particular adiabatic approximation, which applications must be further validated. Here, we investigate...
Under the usual assumption of noninteracting v-representability, density-functional theory (DFT) together with time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) provide a formally exact single-reference method suitable for theoretical description electronic excited-states large molecules, and hence excited-state potential energy surfaces important photochemistry. The quality this is limited in practice by need to use approximate exchange-correlation functionals. In particular it far from clear how well...

In combination with frequency-dependent exact-exchange kernel present approach describes long-range charge-transfer excitations qualitatively correct in contrast to standard TDDFT methods, as shown by formal analysis and applications molecular systems. Even obtained adiabatic...

Abstract A time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method using the nonadiabatic exact‐exchange kernel is discussed. Compared to previous TDDFT methods with orbital‐dependent kernels, presented exact exchange (TDEXX) approach avoids a numerical unstable inversion of Kohn–Sham response function. If complete frequency dependency taken into account, then proposed yields long‐range distance behavior charge‐transfer (CT) excitation energies qualitatively correctly. The relation between...

Time-dependent density-functional theory in the response regime is shown to yield qualitatively correct charge-transfer excitation energies system HeH(+) if exact Kohn-Sham exchange potential employed determine orbitals and eigenvalues entering time-dependent calculation. The exact-exchange kernel frequency-independent and, like conventional kernels local density approximation or generalized gradient approximations, does not contribute energy. This shows that it can be exchange-correlation...

In this work we treat inelastic scattering of fast electrons on metal clusters in the range transferred energies above ionization threshold. We demonstrate that energy many-electron collective excitations, namely, volume plasmons, provide dominating contribution to differential cross section resulting its resonance behavior. The volume-plasmon resonances excited cluster during collision decay via process. determine frequency and autoionization width plasmon excitations. order elucidate role...
