Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory in Chemistry: Successes and Challenges
Abstract:
Ground-state density functional theory has had an enormous impact in chemistry, and the time-dependent theory holds similar promise. I will explain how time-dependent density functional theory works, and discuss calculations of electronic excitations in molecules, electron-molecule scattering, and molecular electronics. I will avoid mathematical formalism.
