Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory

  • Chapter

Abstract

The static Kohn-Sham theory of many-particle systems is basically unsuitable for the description of time-dependent electronic phenomena. (The few exceptions rely on the approximate description of electronic excitation energies, a procedure fraught with difficulties as described in a previous chapter.) In this chapter we introduce the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), which fills this gap.
