TDDFT and Strongly Correlated Systems: Insight From Numerical Studies (0707.2317v2)
Published 14 Jul 2007 in cond-mat.mes-hall and cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: We illustrate the scope of Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) for strongly correlated (lattice) models out of equilibrium. Using the exact many body time evolution, we reverse engineer the exact exchange correlation (xc) potential $v_{xc}$ for small Hubbard chains exposed to time-dependent fields. We introduce an adiabatic local density approximation (ALDA) to $v_{xc}$ for the 1D Hubbard model and compare it to exact results, to gain insight about approximate xc potentials. Finally, we provide some remarks on the v-representability for the 1D Hubbard model.
