Our theory utilizes the adiabatic connection perturbation method [G\\\"{o}rling and Levy, Phys. Rev. A {\\bf 50}, 196 (1994), G\\\"{o}rling, ibid. {\\bf 55}, 2630 (1997)], from which the expansion of the density matrix in powers of the interaction constant $\\lambda$ naturally arises. By this, we obtain the one-density-matrix $\\rho_\\lambda(\\rv,\\rv',t)$, which, by construction, has the $\\lambda$-independent diagonal elements $\\rho_\\lambda(\\rv,\\rv,t)=n(\\rv,t)$, where $n(\\rv,t)$ is the particle density. The off-diagonal elements of $\\rho_\\lambda(\\rv,\\rv',t)$ importantly contribute to the processes beyond the reach of TDDFT, of which we consider the momentum-resolved photoemission, doing this to the first order in $\\lambda$ (exact exchange). In an illustrative calculation of photoemission from the quasi-2D electron gas with {\\it one filled subband} we find strong deviations from the independent-particle Fermi golden rule formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-11T17:47:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "density matrix", "many-body quantum dynamics", "tddft-based theory", "independent-particle fermi golden rule formula", "adiabatic connection perturbation method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
