There has been considerable interest in properties of condensed matter at finite temperature, including non-equilibrium behavior and extreme conditions up to the warm dense matter regime. Such behavior is encountered, e.g., in experimental time resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the presence of intense laser fields. In an effort to simulate such behavior, we present an approach for calculations of finite-temperature x-ray absorption spectra in arbitrary materials, using a generalization of the real-space Greens function formalism. The method is incorporated as an option in the core-level x-ray spectroscopy code FEFF10. To illustrate the approach, we present calculations for several materials together with comparisons to experiment and with other methods.

We present an ab initio theory of core- and valence resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) based on a real-space multiple scattering Greens function formalism and a quasi-boson model Hamiltonian. Simplifying assumptions are made which lead to an approximation of the RIXS spectrum in terms of a convolution of an effective x-ray absorption signal with the x-ray emission signal. Additional many body corrections are incorporated in terms of an effective energy dependent spectral function. Example calculations of RIXS are found to give qualitative agreement with experimental data. Our approach also yields simulations of lifetime-broadening suppressed XAS, as observed in high energy resolutionfluorescence detection experiment (HERFD). Finally possible improvements to our approach are briefly discussed.
We revise critically existing approaches to evaluation of thermodynamic potentials within the Greens function calculations at finite electronic temperatures. We focus on the entropy and show that usual technical problems related to the multivalued na ture of the complex logarithm can be overcome. This results in a simple expression for the electronic entropy, which does not require any contour integration in the complex energy plane. Properties of the developed formalism are discussed and its illustrating applications to selected model systems and to bcc iron with disordered local magnetic moments are presented as well.
Greens function methods within many-body perturbation theory provide a general framework for treating electronic correlations in excited states. Here we investigate the cumulant form of the one-electron Greens function based on the coupled-cluster eq uation of motion approach in an extension of our previous study. The approach yields a non-perturbative expression for the cumulant in terms of the solution to a set of coupled first order, non-linear differential equations. The method thereby adds non-linear corrections to traditional cumulant methods linear in the self energy. The approach is applied to the core-hole Greens function and illustrated for a number of small molecular systems. For these systems we find that the non-linear contributions lead to significant improvements both for quasiparticle properties such as core-level binding energies, as well as the satellites corresponding to inelastic losses observed in photoemission spectra.

Inelastic losses in core level x-ray spectra arise from many-body excitations, leading to broadening and damping as well as satellite peaks in x-ray photoemission (XPS) and x-ray absorption (XAS) spectra. Here we present a practical approach for calc ulating these losses based on a cumulant representation of the particle-hole Greens function, a quasi-boson approximation, and a partition of the cumulant into extrinsic, intrinsic and interference terms. The intrinsic losses are calculated using real-time, time-dependent density functional theory while the extrinsic losses are obtained from the GW approximation of the photo-electron self-energy and the interference terms are approximated. These effects are included in the spectra using a convolution with an energy dependent particle-hole spectral function. The approach elucidates the nature of the spectral functions in XPS and XAS and explains the significant cancellation between extrinsic and intrinsic losses. Edge-singularity effects in metals are also accounted for. Illustrative results are presented for the XPS and XAS for both weakly and more correlated systems.

We present a finite-temperature extension of the retarded cumulant Greens function for calculations of exited-state and thermodynamic properties of electronic systems. The method incorporates a cumulant to leading order in the screened Coulomb intera ction $W$ and improves excited state properties compared to the $GW$ approximation of many-body perturbation theory. Results for the homogeneous electron gas are presented for a wide range of densities and temperatures, from cool to warm dense matter regime, which reveal several hitherto unexpected properties. For example, correlation effects remain strong at high $T$ while the exchange-correlation energy becomes small. In addition, the spectral function broadens and damping increases with temperature, blurring the usual quasi-particle picture. Similarly Compton scattering exhibits substantial many-body corrections that persist at normal densities and intermediate $T$. Results for exchange-correlation energies and potentials are in good agreement with existing theories and finite-temperature DFT functionals.
