Abstract:
We consider the calculations of photoionization spectra and core resonances of open-shell systems using range-separated time-dependent density-functional theory. Specifically, we use the time-dependent range-separated hybrid (TDRSH) scheme, combining a long-range Hartree-Fock exchange potential and kernel with a short-range potential and kernel from a local density-functional approximation, and the time-dependent locally range-separated hybrid (TDLRSH) scheme, which uses a local range-separation parameter. To efficiently perform the calculations, we formulate a spin-unrestricted linear-response Sternheimer approach in a non-orthogonal B-spline basis set using appropriate frequency-dependent boundary conditions. We illustrate this approach on the Li atom, which suggests that TDRSH and TDLRSH are adequate simple methods for estimating the single-electron photoionization spectra of open-shell systems.

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
