Linear-response time-dependent density functional theory approach to warm dense matter with adiabatic exchange--correlation kernels

Abstract

We present a new methodology for the linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) calculation of the dynamic density response function of warm dense matter in an adiabatic approximation that can be used with any available exchange-correlation (XC) functional across Jacob's Ladder and across temperature regimes. The main novelty of the presented approach is that it can go beyond the adiabatic local density approximation (ALDA) and generalized LDA (AGGA) while preserving the self-consistence between the Kohn-Sham (KS) response function and adiabatic XC kernel for extended systems. The key ingredient for the presented method is the combination of the adiabatic XC kernel from the direct perturbation approach with the macroscopic dynamic KS response from the standard LR-TDDFT method using KS orbitals. We demonstrate the application of the method for the example of warm dense hydrogen, for which we perform a detailed analysis of the KS density response function, the RPA result, the total density response function and of the adiabatic XC kernel. The analysis is performed using LDA, GGA, and meta-GGA level approximations for the XC effects. The presented method is directly applicable to disordered systems such as liquid metals, warm dense matter, and dense plasmas.
