  • Computing the Optical Properties of Large Systems

    by Tim Joachim Zuehlsdorff ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work addresses the computation of excited-state properties of systems containing thousands of atoms. To achieve this, the author combines the linear response formulation of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with linear-scaling techniques known from ground-state density-functional theory. This extends the range of TDDFT, which on its own cannot tackle many of the large and ... Read more

  • Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory

    Concepts and Applications

    by Carsten A. Ullrich ...
    Series series Oxford Graduate Texts
    Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) describes the quantum dynamics of interacting electronic many-body systems formally exactly and in a practical and efficient manner. TDDFT has become the leading method for calculating excitation energies and optical properties of large molecules, with accuracies that rival traditional wave-function based methods, but at a fraction of the ...

  • Einstein's Physics

    Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised

    by Ta-Pei Cheng ...
    Many regard Albert Einstein as the greatest physicist since Newton. What exactly did he do that is so important in physics? We provide an introduction to his physics at a level accessible to an undergraduate physics student. All equations are worked out in detail from the beginning. Einstein's doctoral thesis and his Brownian motion paper were decisive contributions to our understanding of matter ... Read more

  • Dynamics Near Quantum Criticality in Two Space Dimensions

    by Snir Gazit ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work addresses dynamical aspects of quantum criticality in two space dimensions. It probes two energy scales: the amplitude (Higgs) mode, which describes fluctuations of the order parameter amplitude in the broken symmetry phase and the dual vortex superfluid stiffness. The results demonstrate that the amplitude mode can be probed arbitrarily close to criticality in the universal line shape ... Read more
