Potential-energy surfaces for excited states in extended systems
Journal article, 2004

The first-principles calculations of potential-energy surfaces were performed for excited states in a number of illustrative systems, including dimers (H 2 and NaCl) and gas-surface systems by using simple and physically intuitive method. The principle was based on density-functional theory and was a generalization of the δ self-consistent field (δSCF) method, where electron-hole pairs were introduced in order to model excited states. The excitation were identified by analysis of calculated electron orbitals, local densities of states and charge densities. The chemiluminescence of halogen molecules impinging on a alkali-metal surface was calculated.
