Next-generation Codes for Excited States and Response FunctionsReal-space and Real-time J. J. Rehr Department of Physics, University of Washington Seattle, WA, USA *Supported by the DOE and the DOE CMSN
Code Development Goals • Predict excited state and response properties over the full spectrum of energies,length, & time scales: X-ray spectra, optical response, vibrations, time-dependent phenomena, transport, … • Key issues: Physics beyond independent particle approximation in real-space, real-time, finite-temperature … Excitation spectra: inelastic losses, satellite, multiplets, …
Strategy • Develop user-friendly theoretical tools linking Excited stateproperties to existing ground state codes DFT + GW- BSE, RT-TDDFT, DFT/MD, … • Applications • X-ray Spectroscopies (XAS, EXAFS, XES, RIXS, XMCD, …) • Optical response • Relativistic Electron Energy Loss Spectra (EELS) • Real-time linear and non-linear response No single code has these capabilities!
Linked-codes • FEFF9+ ABINIT , GAUSSIAN , VASP , ORCA → Real-space Green’s function code – full spectrum response → X-ray Spectra: XAS, EELS, NRIXS, XMCD, →Optical constants, scattering factors ... → Real-time: DFT/MD, ab initio Debye-Waller factors • AI2NBSE / OCEAN (NBSE + ABINIT + MPSE) → User-friendly GW/BSE code for optical / core response • TD-SIESTA ( Crank-Nicolson + SIESTA ) Real-time TDDFT → linear & non-linear response
