Thermal density functional theory: Time-dependent linear response and approximate functionals from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem

arXiv:1509.03071 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.233001

Abstract

The van Leeuwen proof of linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is generalized to thermal ensembles. This allows generalization to finite temperatures of the Gross-Kohn relation, the exchange-correlation kernel of TDDFT, and fluctuation dissipation theorem for DFT. This produces a natural method for generating new thermal exchange-correlation (XC) approximations.
