Kohn-Sham Decomposition in Real-Time Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory An Efficient Tool for Analyzing Plasmonic Excitations
2017
The real-time-propagation formulation of time-dependent density-functional theory (RT-TDDFT) is an efficient method for modeling the optical response of molecules and nanoparticles. Compared to the widely adopted linear-response TDDFT approaches based on, e.g., the Casida equations, RT-TDDFT appears, however, lacking efficient analysis methods. This applies in particular to a decomposition of the response in the basis of the underlying single-electron states. In this work, we overcome this limitation by developing an analysis method for obtaining the Kohn-Sham electron-hole decomposition in RT-TDDFT. We demonstrate the equivalence between the developed method and the Casida approach by a be…
On the spectrum of semi-classical Witten-Laplacians and Schrödinger operators in large dimension
2005
We investigate the low-lying spectrum of Witten–Laplacians on forms of arbitrary degree in the semi-classical limit and uniformly in the space dimension. We show that under suitable assumptions implying that the phase function has a unique local minimum one obtains a number of clusters of discrete eigenvalues at the bottom of the spectrum. Moreover, we are able to count the number of eigenvalues in each cluster. We apply our results to certain sequences of Schrodinger operators having strictly convex potentials and show that some well-known results of semi-classical analysis hold also uniformly in the dimension.
On Stability of a Concentrated Fiber Suspension Flow
2014
Linear stability analysis of a fiber suspension flow in a channel domain is performed using a modified Folgar-Tucker equation. Two kinds of potential instability are identified: one is associated with overcritical Reynolds number and another is associated with certain perturbations in fiber orientation field and is present for any Reynolds numbers. The second type of instability leads to initially growing transient perturbations in the microstructure. It is shown that both types of instability lead to instability of the bulk velocity field. As for the perturbed Orr-Sommerfeld eigenvalues, the presence of fibers increases the stability region; the stability region increases with growing C i …
Distribution of Large Eigenvalues for Elliptic Operators
2019
In this chapter we consider elliptic differential operators on a compact manifold and rather than taking the semi-classical limit (h →), we let h = 1 and study the distribution of large eigenvalues. Bordeaux Montrieux (Loi de Weyl presque sure et resolvante pour des operateurs differentiels non-autoadjoints, these, CMLS, Ecole Polytechnique, 2008. https://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/pastel-00005367, Ann Henri Poincare 12:173–204, 2011) studied elliptic systems of differential operators on S1 with random perturbations of the coefficients, and under some additional assumptions, he showed that the large eigenvalues obey the Weyl law almost surely. His analysis was based on a reduction to the s…
Computing the Trace
2001
So far we have been interested in the general expression for the WKB-propagation function. Now we turn our attention to the trace of that propagator, since we want to exhibit the energy eigenvalues of a given potential. From earlier discussions we know that the energy levels of a given Hamiltonian are provided by the poles of the Green’s function:
