Accurate real-time evolution of electron densities and ground-state properties from generalized Kohn-Sham theory
Physical Review A 101, (3),pp 032502/1-7 (2020)
The exact static and time-dependent Kohn-Sham (KS) exchange-correlation potential is extremely challenging to approximate as it is a local multiplicative potential that depends on the electron density everywhere in the system. The KS approach can be generalized by allowing part of the potential to be spatially nonlocal. We take this nonlocal part to be that of unrestricted Hartree-Fock theory. The additional local correlation potential in principle ensures that the single-particle density exactly equals the many-body density. In our case, the local correlation potential is predominantly nearsighted in its dependence on the density and hence an (adiabatic) local-density approximation to this potential yields accurate ground-state properties and real-time densities for one-dimensional test systems.
