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 access to photoelectron spectroscopy in time-dependent density-functional calculations. By using a geometrical approach, we provide a simple description of momentum-resolved photoe- mission including multi-photon effects. The approach is validated by comparison with results in the literature and exact calculations. Furthermore, we present numerical photoelectron angular distributions for randomly oriented nitrogen molecules in a short near infrared intense laser pulse and helium-(I) angular spectra for aligned carbon monoxide and benzene.

In this work the complete valence-band structure of the molybdenum dichalcogenides MoS_2, MoSe_2, and alpha-MoTe_2 is presented and discussed in comparison. The valence bands have been studied using both angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARP
ES) with synchrotron radiation, as well as, ab-initio band-structure calculations. The ARPES measurements have been carried out in the constant-final-state (CFS) mode. The results of the calculations show in general very good agreement with the experimentally determined valence-band structures allowing for a clear identification of the observed features. The dispersion of the valence bands as a function of the perpendicular component k_perp of the wave vector reveals a decreasing three-dimensional character from MoS_2 to alpha-MoTe_2 which is attributed to an increasing interlayer distance in the three compounds. The effect of this k_perp dispersion on the determination of the exact dispersion of the individual states as a function of k_parallel is discussed. By performing ARPES in the CFS mode the k_parallel-component for off-normal emission spectra can be determined. The corresponding k_perp-value is obtained from the symmetry of the spectra along the GammaA, KH, and ML line, respectively.
The acetylene-vinylidene system serves as a benchmark for investigations of ultrafast dynamical processes where the coupling of the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom provides a fertile playground to explore the femto- and sub-femto-second phy
sics with coherent extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon sources both on the table-top as well as free-electron lasers. We focus on detailed investigations of this molecular system in the photon energy range $19...40$ eV where EUV pulses can probe the dynamics effectively. We employ photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spectroscopy to uncover hitherto unrevealed aspects of this system. In this work, the role of excited states of the $C_{2}H_{2}^{+}$ cation, the primary photoion, is specifically addressed. From photoelectron energy spectra and angular distributions, the nature of the dissociation and isomerization channels is discerned. Exploiting the $4pi$-collection geometry of velocity map imaging spectrometer, we not only probe pathways where the efficiency of photoionization is inherently high but also perform PEPICO spectroscopy on relatively weak channels.
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 e
xact 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.
Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) is a computationally efficient first-principles approach for calculating optical spectra in insulators and semiconductors, including excitonic effects. We show how exciton wave functions can be obtaine
d from TDDFT via the Kohn-Sham transition density matrix, both in the frequency-dependent linear-response regime and in real-time propagation. The method is illustrated using one-dimensional model solids. In particular, we show that our approach provides insight into the formation and dissociation of excitons in real time. This opens the door to time-resolved studies of exciton dynamics in materials by means of real-time TDDFT.
The effect of nanocrystal orientation on the energy loss spectra of monoclinic hafnia (m-HfO$_2$) is measured by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and valence energy loss spectroscopy (VEELS) on high quality samples. For the sa
me momentum-transfer directions, the dielectric properties are also calculated ab initio by time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). Experiments and simulations evidence anisotropy in the dielectric properties of m-HfO$_2$, most notably with the direction-dependent oscillator strength of the main bulk plasmon. The anisotropic nature of m-HfO$_2$ may contribute to the differences among VEELS spectra reported in literature. The good agreement between the complex dielectric permittivity extracted from VEELS with nanometer spatial resolution, TDDFT modeling, and past literature demonstrates that the present HRTEM-VEELS device-oriented methodology is a possible solution to the difficult nanocharacterization challenges given in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.
