Lecture 7.1 delves into the intricacies of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and its application to linear response in various magnetic fields. It presents the mathematical foundations of dynamical susceptibilities and explores the optical properties of metals, including Fe, Ni, and Cr. Special emphasis is placed on the interaction with electromagnetic fields and the impacts on optical conductivity and reflectivity. Key concepts include response to electric fields, adiabatic local density approximations, and variations in linear response theory, with a focus on real-world applications in advanced materials.

Response to Electric Fields. Similar Discussion can be consdered: General Difficulty: non-periodic potential, when q->0 it produces infinite field. Static limit in insulators determines static dielectric constant e0.
Response to Electromagnetic Fields. Transverse response to Transverse dielectric function is determined as follows Dispersion relations for the photon in the media
