To investigate inelastic electron scattering, which is ubiquitous in various fields of study, we carry out ab initio study of the real-time dynamics of a one-dimensional electron wave packet scattered by a hydrogen atom using different methods: the exact solution, the solution provided by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), and the solutions given by alternative approaches. This research not only sheds light on inelastic scattering processes but also verifies the capability of TDDFT in describing inelastic electron scattering. We revisit the adiabatic local-density approximation (ALDA) in describing the excitation of the target during the scattering process along with a self-interaction correction and spin-polarized calculations. Our results reveal that the ALDA severely underestimates the energy transferred in the regime of low incident energy particularly for a spin-singlet system. After demonstrating alternative approaches, we propose a hybrid ab initio method to deal with the kinetic correlation alongside TDDFT. This hybrid method would facilitate first-principles studies of systems in which the correlation of a few electrons among many others is of interest.
Reliable quantum chemical methods for the description of molecules with dense-lying frontier orbitals are needed in the context of many chemical compounds and reactions. Here, we review developments that led to our newcomputational toolbo x which imp
We present a time-dependent density-functional method able to describe the photoelectron spectrum of atoms and molecules when excited by laser pulses. This computationally feasible scheme is based on a geometrical partitioning that efficiently gives
