Coordinate rotated TDHF excitation energies Li^{− 1}S → ¹P

Abstract

We present the first application of the coordinate rotation method, within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock framework, to calculation of positioas and widths of metastable excited states. The method is briefly outlined and results of its application to ' P excited states of Li-are given. Comparison of our results to those obtained using electron scattering methods by other workers is also made.

“…The method has been formulated to treat the many-electron problem within mean-field theories like Hartree−Fock as well as straightforward configuration-interaction expansions . Complex-scaled propagator methods have been developed, , suggesting that the theory of complex scaling could be used with complicated effective potentials. Complex scaling has also been used in combination with density functional theory to study the broadening of levels in the vicinity of metal surfaces − or even with TDDFT to study above-threshold ionization of small negative ions .…”
