ExternalField::TDHF

ok

Uses TDHF to include core-polarisation (RPA) corrections to matrix elements of an external field operator.

Solves the TDHF equations for each core orbital \( \phi_a \),

\[ (h_{\rm HF} - \en_a \mp \omega)\varphi^a_\pm = -(t_\pm + \delta V_\pm - \delta\en^a_\pm)\phi_a, \]

self-consistently to determine \( \delta V_\pm \). See the ExternalField namespace documentation for full physics description.

Each core orbital acquires both a forward ( \( \varphi^a_+ \), stored as X) and backward ( \( \varphi^a_- \), stored as Y) correction. Both contribute to \( \delta V_\pm \):

\[ \delta V_\pm \phi_i = \sum_a^{\rm core} \left[ \matel{\phi_a}{Q}{\varphi^a_+}\phi_i - \matel{\phi_a}{Q}{\phi_i}\varphi^a_+ + \matel{\varphi^a_-}{Q}{\phi_a}\phi_i - \matel{\varphi^a_-}{Q}{\phi_i}\phi_a \right]. \]

It is via \( \delta V_\pm \) that the \( e^{\pm i\omega t} \) terms are mixed.

Construction
Requires a pointer to an operator (h) and a const HF::HartreeFock object.
Usage
solve_core (omega) solves the TDHF equations for a given frequency. dV (Fa, Fb) then returns the RPA correction to the reduced matrix element \( \redmatel{a}{\delta V}{b} \).
Warning
Does not currently work for frequency-dependent operators unless they depend only on the magnitude \( |\omega| \). The method assumes \( t_- = t_+^\dag \), whereas the correct relation is \( t_-(\omega) = t_+^\dag(-\omega) \). This will be fixed in a future update.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TDHF()

ExternalField::TDHF::TDHF ( const DiracOperator::TensorOperator *const  h,
const HF::HartreeFock *const  hf 
)

Constructs TDHF for operator h.

Parameters
hExternal field operator.
hfHF::HartreeFock object defining the core.

Member Function Documentation

◆ solve_core()

void ExternalField::TDHF::solve_core ( double  omega,
int  max_its = 100,
bool  print = true 
)
overridevirtual

Solves TDHF equations self-consistently for core electrons at frequency omega.

Iterates the TDHF equations until \( \delta V_\pm \) converges to within eps_target(), or max_its iterations have been performed. Can be re-run at a different frequency without restarting from scratch.

Parameters
omegaExternal-field frequency \( \omega \) in atomic units.
max_itsMaximum number of iterations. Set to 1 to get the first-order correction (no damping on first iteration).
printIf true, write convergence progress to screen.
Note
Frequency should be positive; negative is allowed but use with care. Unlike DiagramRPA, TDHF solves for both \( \varphi^a_+ \) and \( \varphi^a_- \) simultaneously (see class docs), so a single call covers both contributions to \( \delta V_\pm \).

Note
Does not update the frequency of the operator itself; for frequency-dependent operators, update the operator frequency externally before calling.
