Single-pole approximation

In all these transitions, LSD numbers are substantially in error compared to the HF theory results. On the other hand, results obtained by employing the MLSDSIC functional are highly accnrate. This shows the correctness of the MLSDSIC functional for excited states. We also compare these numbers with those obtained by applying TD-DFT within a single-pole approximation. The A-SCF numbers are better than the TD-DFT nnmbers. 

We again see that the MLSDSIC functional gives transition energies that are very close to the corresponding HF values. On the other hand, single-pole approximation TD-DFT in this case does not improve the LSD numbers by any significant amount. 

Note The last column presents energies obtained using TD-DFT within a single-pole approximation. Numbers are given in atomic units. 

A review of the approximations in any time-depedendent density functional calculation of excitation energies is given. The single-pole approximation for the susceptibility is used to understand errors in popular approximations for the exchange-correlation kernel. A new hybrid of exact exchange and adiabatic local density approximation is proposed and tested on the He and Be atoms.

By neglecting the higher-order terms, a simple manipulation of (4.101) yields the so-called single-pole approximation (SPA) to the excitation energies... 

Table 4.3. Comparison of the excitation energies of neutral helimn, calculated from the exact xc potential [49] by using approximate xc kernels. SPA stands for single pole approximations , while fuU means the solution of (4.107) neglecting continuum states. The exact values are from a non-relativistic variational calculation [53]. The mean absolute deviation and mean percentage errors also include the transitions from the Is until the 9s and 9p states. All energies are in hartrees. Table adapted from [17]...

Several simple methods have evolved for understanding TDDFT results qualitatively. The most basic of these methods is the single-pole approximation (SPA), which includes only one pole of the response function. The easiest way to see the SPA is to truncate Eq. [47] to a 1 x 1 matrix, yielding an (often excellent) approximation to the change in transition frequency away from its KS value ... 

Note that at the frequency where the single-pole lies, the phase shift (measured from the origin) is always 45° — that is, half the overall shift — whether we are using the asymptotic approximation or not. 

An electrical signal is generated by an RF tone-burst source. In the beginning, a Colpitts oscillator, or the like, was used as the RF tone-burst source. Nowadays, however, burst waves are gated out from continuous waves by a single pole double throw switch for frequency stability. The output (i.e., voltage) of the source is approximately 10 V... 

For diatomics with ten valence electrons, pole strengths lie between 0.86 and 0.89. DOs are dominated by a single occupied orbital in all cases. In the normalized DO for the state of AlO, there are other contributions with coefficients near 0.02. For the states of BO and AlO, certain operators have U elements that are approximately 0.1. Recent experimental work has produced a revised figure, 2.508 0.008 eV, for the electron affinity of BO [42] and the entry in Table III is in excellent agreement. Similar agreement occurs for the electron affinities of CN, AlO and AIS. 

The dominant pole of this temperature control system is determined by the thermal time constant of the microhotplate, which is approximately 20 ms. The open-loop gain of the single-ended analog architecture (Aol seaa) i given by Eq. (6.1) ... 

We shall first briefly describe the phase-integral approximation referred to in item (i). Then we collect connection formulas pertaining to a single transition point [first-order zero or first-order pole of Q2(z) and to a real potential barrier, which can be derived by... 

Figures 12.9 (a) and (b) are the XPF spectra from a (11 l)-oriented diamond film grown for 30h on single crystal Pt(lll) (see Figure 12.7 (a)) and a Pt(lll) substrate, respectively [383, 394]. The FWHM of diamond 111 diffraction poles was approximately 4°. This value was similar to the FWHM of highly (100)-oriented diamond films on silicon, i.e. 5°. However, since the FWHM value includes diffraction signals from misoriented diamond particles near the Pt interface, the 4° FWHM should be the upper limit of the misorientation distribution. Note that...

Standard CC methods, which have been termed plain old CC (POCC) in the literature [231], are those in which the orbital optimization and correlation steps of the calculation are performed separately. POCC calculations therefore suffer from instability poles in addition to the appropriately located EOM poles, but the width of the former are quite small because of the approximate orbital invariance of CC methods that include single excitations [243]. These methods offer some advantages in treating PJT effects relative to CC approaches in which orbitals and cluster amplitudes are determined simultaneously, as discussed briefly in the next section. 

The deformation texture of brass sheet (Fig. 9-19) is fairly sharp, and it is then of interest to know whether or not it can be approximated by an ideal orientation. To find this orientation we successively lay several standard projections over the pole figure, looking for a match between (111) poles and high-density regions. The solid triangles in Fig. 9-19 show such a match they represent the (111) poles of a single crystal oriented so that its (110) plane is parallel to the sheet and the [Tl2] direction parallel to the rolling direction. Reflection of these poles in the...
