We find the analytical solution to the time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) problem for the quasi-low-dimensional (2D and 1D) electron gas (QLDEG) with only one band filled in the direction perpendicular to the system extent. The theory is developed at the level of TD exact exchange and yields the exchange potential as an explicit nonlocal operator of the spin-density. The dressed interband (image states) excitation spectra of the Q2DEG are calculated, while the comparison with the Kohn-Sham (KS) transitions provides the insight into the qualitative and quantitative role of the many-body interactions. Important cancellations between the Hartree $f_H$ and the exchange $f_x$ kernels are found in the low-density limit, shedding light on the interrelations between the KS and many-body excitations.

Donors in silicon can now be positioned with an accuracy of about one lattice constant, making it possible in principle to form donor arrays for quantum computation or quantum simulation applications. However the multi-valley character of the silicon conduction band combines with central cell corrections to the donor state Hamiltonian to translate atomic scale imperfections in donor placement into strongly disordered inter-donor hybridization. We present a simple model that is able to account accurately for central-cell corrections, and use it to assess the impact of donor-placement disorder on donor array properties in both itinerant and localized limits.
Due to the strongly nonlocal nature of $f_{xc}({bf r},{bf r},omega)$ the {em 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 g as (EG) for ions tends to give a too large value of Q for heavy ions in the medium- and low-density EG, if we adopt the local-density approximation (LDA) to $f_{xc}({bf r},{bf r},omega)$, even though the formula itself is formally exact. We have rectified this unfavorable feature by reformulating the formula for Q in terms of the {em tensorial} xc 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 a 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.
Based on the time-dependent density-functional theory, we have derived a rigorous formula for the stopping power of an {it interacting} electron gas for ions in the limit of low projectile velocities. If dynamical correlation between electrons is not taken into account, this formula recovers the corresponding stopping power of {it noninteracting} electrons in an effective Kohn-Sham potential. The correlation effect, specifically the excitonic one in electron-hole pair excitations, however, is found to considerably enhance the stopping power for intermediately charged ions, bringing our theory into good agreement with experiment.
Almost all time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) calculations of excited states make use of the adiabatic approximation, which implies a frequency-independent exchange-correlation kernel that limits applications to one-hole/one-particle st ates. To remedy this problem, Maitra et al.[J.Chem.Phys. 120, 5932 (2004)] proposed dressed TDDFT (D-TDDFT), which includes explicit two-hole/two-particle states by adding a frequency-dependent term to adiabatic TDDFT. This paper offers the first extensive test of D-TDDFT, and its ability to represent excitation energies in a general fashion. We present D-TDDFT excited states for 28 chromophores and compare them with the benchmark results of Schreiber et al.[J.Chem.Phys. 128, 134110 (2008).] We find the choice of functional used for the A-TDDFT step to be critical for positioning the 1h1p states with respect to the 2h2p states. We observe that D-TDDFT without HF exchange increases the error in excitations already underestimated by A-TDDFT. This problem is largely remedied by implementation of D- TDDFT including Hartree-Fock exchange.
Linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) can describe excitonic features in the optical spectra of insulators and semiconductors, using exchange-correlation (xc) kernels behaving as $-1/k^{2}$ to leading order. We show how exc itons can be modeled in real-time TDDFT, using an xc vector potential constructed from approximate, long-range corrected xc kernels. We demonstrate for various materials that this real-time approach is consistent with frequency-dependent linear response, gives access to femtosecond exciton dynamics following short-pulse excitations, and can be extended with some caution into the nonlinear regime.
