The linear and nonlinear response of Si 4 and Na 4 to an external perturbation is investigated in the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory. The time-dependent Kohn–Sham equations, which are the central equations in this approach, are solved in real space and real time. A parallelized implementation to solve these nonlinear, one-particle Schrödinger equations is presented. In contrast to Na 4, Si 4 shows high-harmonic generation far beyond the cut-off predicted by the quasiclassical model and predictions for extended systems.

We describe the principle of the time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), as well as that of the density functional theory for a localized density and for a deformed density profile. The real-time real-space TDDFT is utilized to calculate photoabsorption cross sections for even-even nuclei. Results for prolate and oblate nuclei, 24 Mg and 28 Si , reproduce basic features of experimental data.

<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>
