Coupled Maxwell and time-dependent orbital-free density functional calculations

Coupled Maxwell and time-dependent orbital-free calculations are implemented and tested to describe the interaction of electromagnetic waves and matter. The currents and induced fields predicted by the orbital-free calculations are compared to time-dependent density functional calculations and very good agreement is found for various systems including jellium sheets, jellium spheres, atomistic sheets, and icosahedron clusters.

Automated summary

Coupled Maxwell and time-dependent orbital-free calculations are used to study the interaction of electromagnetic waves and matter, showing good agreement with time-dependent density functional calculations for various systems.
