Nonlocal Nature

Due to the strongly nonlocal nature of fxc(r,r',ω), the scalar exchange and correlation (xc) kernel of the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the formula for Q the friction coefficient of an interacting electron gas (EG) for ions tends to give too large a value of Q for heavy ions in the medium- and low-density EG, if we adopt the local-density approximation (LDA) to fxc(r, r', ω), even though the formula itself is formally exact. We have rectified this unfavorable feature by reformulating the formula for Q in terms of the tensorialxc kernel of the time-dependent current-density functional theory, to which the LDA can be applied without intrinsic difficulty. Our numerical results find themselves in considerably better agreement with the experimental stopping power of Al and Au for slow ions than those previously obtained within the LDA to the TDDFT.

Alkali Metal Clusters

In this paper we focus on the use of electron density and current-density as basic variables in describing a many-electron system. We start with a discussion of the seminal Thomas–Fermi theory and its extension by Bloch for time-dependent hamiltonians. We then present modern density-functional theory (for both time-independent and time-dependent hamiltonians) and approximations involved in implementing it. Also discussed is perturbation theory in terms of electron density and its use for calculating various response properties and related quantities. In particular, van der Waals coefficient C6 is calculated using density and current density in time-dependent perturbation theory. Throughout the paper, results for alkali-metal clusters are presented to demonstrate the strength of density-based theories.
