Advances in time-dependent spin density<br />
functional theory<br />
G. Vignale<br />
Univ. Missouri, USA<br />
Time-dependent density functional generally suffers from an ultra-nonlocality problem, namely<br />
the local density approximation for the exchange-correlation potential always fails, no matter how<br />
slowly varying is the density. I show that this problem is particularly severe in time-dependent<br />
spin density functional theory, but can be cured by switching to a formulation in which the spin<br />
currents are the basic variables. I discuss the physical significance of the new terms that appear<br />
in the spin-current dependent functional, and review the progress that has been made in providing<br />
explicit expressions for the latter.<br />
