Linear-response calculation in the time-dependent density functional theory

Linear response calculations based on the time-dependent density-functional theory are presented. Especially, we report results of the finite amplitude method which we have recently proposed as an alternative and feasible approach to the (quasiparticle-)random-phase approximation. Calculated properties of the giant resonances and low-energy E1 modes are discussed. We found a universal linear correlation between the low-energy E1 strength and the neutron skin thickness.

Finite amplitude method for the quasiparticle random-phase approximation

We present the finite amplitude method (FAM), originally proposed in Ref. [17], for superfluid systems. A Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov code may be transformed into a code of the quasiparticle-random-phase approximation (QRPA) with simple modifications. This technique has advantages over the conventional QRPA calculations, such as coding feasibility and computational cost. We perform the fully self-consistent linear-response calculation for the spherical neutron-rich nucleus {sup 174}Sn, modifying the hfbrad code, to demonstrate the accuracy, feasibility, and usefulness of the FAM.
