	abstract = {The method developed recently for prediction of Is electron spectra is now extended to the 2p spectra of SiH4, PH3, H2S, HCl, and Ar. The method for X-ray absorption spectra involves the use of Delta E for the excitation and ionization energies, and application of time-dependent density functional theory using the exchange-correlation potential known as statistical average of orbital potentials for the intensities. Additional assumptions and approximations are also made. The best exchange-correlation functional E-xc for the earlier calculation of Delta E in Is spectra of C to Ne (namely Perdew-Wang 1986 exchange, combined with Perdew-Wang 1991 correlation) is no longer used in this work on 2p spectra of Si to Ar. Instead, recently tested Exc good for 2p core-electron binding energies (known as OPTX) for exchange and LYP for correlation, plus scalar zeroth-order regular approximation is adopted here for the Delta E calculations. Our calculated X-ray absorption spectra are generally in good agreement with experiment. Although the predictions for the higher excitations suffer from basis set difficulties, our procedure should be helpful in the interpretation of absorption spectra of 2p electrons of Si to Ar. In addition, we report calculated results for other kinds of electron spectra for SiH4, PH3, H2S, HCl, and Ar, including valence electron ionizations and excitations as well as X-ray emission.

	abstract = {On the basis of numerical, ab initio Delta DF and Delta HF computations of 1s-core, 2s-core, and 2p-core ionization energies of atoms, from Li through Xe, an allometric empirical formula that was proposed for evaluating relativistic corrections (including QED effects) to nonrelativistic values is assessed for homogeneous sets of elements in the periodic table. The two coefficients involved in this formula are precisely determined for 1s-core ionization in the sets of atoms Be-Ne, Mg-Ar, Zn-Kr, and Cd-Xe; 2s-core ionization in the sets of atoms Mg-Ar, Zn-Kr, and Cd-Xe; and 2p-core ionization in the set Mg-Ar. It is shown that the medium relative error on the results obtained using this formula, with respect to those directly computed, decreases from a few percent to a few hundredths of 1\% when the depth of the ionized level increases. This formula could be used to include relativistic (and QED) corrections to results yielded by simpler, nonrelativistic calculations on complex molecules involving heavy atoms.

	abstract = {Both Delta E-KS and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, with approximations for the singlet-triplet splitting and for the relativistic corrections, were tested for the calculation of K-shell spectra of Ne, HF, H2O, NH3, CH4, and CO. Results from several exchange-correlation functionals as well as diffuse basis sets were compared with available experimental data. Excellent core excitation and core-electron ionization energies for Ne, HF, H2O, NH3, CH4, and CO can be obtained from Delta E with Perdew-Wang 1986 exchange and Perdew-Wang 1991 correlation functionals; and reasonable intensities for singlet excitations, from TD-DFT with exchange-correlation potential known as statistical average of orbital potentials. The dependence of the quality of Delta E on basis set is as expected: excitations to higher Rydberg levels requiring more diffuse functions. However, the oscillator strength seems to be more sensitive to the quality of the basis set. Suggestions are made for extending the procedure to larger systems. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

HAM/3 reproduced numerical values more closely to those calculated by the nonempirical DFTs than to those obtained by HF method. Core-electron binding energies (CEBEs) of aniline, nitrobenzene and p-nitro aniline, were also calculated by HAM/3 and nonempirical DeltaFT using DE method. A nonempirical DFT model, designated as DeltaE(KS) (PW86-PW91)/TZP model, resulted accurate CEBEs ( average absolute deviation of 0.14 eV) with high efficiency. Although absolute magnitude of HAM/3 CEBEs has error as much as 3 eV, the error in the chemical shifts DeltaCEBE is much smaller at 0.55 eV. While the CEBE results do not lead to any definite answer to the question in the title, the trends in valence-electron VIPs indicate that HAM/3 does not approximate DFT with accurate exchange-correlation potentials, but seems to simulate approximate functionals such as B88-P86.},

	abstract = {Theoretical analysis and results of calculations are put forward to interpret the energies -epsilon(k) of the occupied Kohn-Sham (KS) orbitals as approximate but rather accurate relaxed vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) I-k. Exact relations between epsilon(k) and I-k are established with a set of linear equations for the epsilon(k), which are expressed through I-k and the matrix elements epsilon(k)(resp) of a component of the KS exchange-correlation (xc) potential v(xc), the response potential v(resp). Although -I-k will be a leading contribution to epsilon(k), other I-jnot equalk do enter through coupling terms which are determined by the overlaps between the densities of the KS orbitals as well as by overlaps between the KS and Dyson orbital densities. The orbital energies obtained with "exact" KS potentials are compared with the experimental VIPs of the molecules N-2, CO, HF, and H2O. Very good agreement between the accurate -epsilon(k) of the outer valence KS orbitals and the corresponding VIPs is established. The average difference, approaching 0.1 eV, is about an order of magnitude smaller than for HF orbital energies. The lower valence KS levels are a few eV higher than the corresponding -I-k, and the core levels some 20 eV, in agreement with the theoretically deduced upshift of the KS levels compared to -I-k by the response potential matrix elements. Calculations of 64 molecules are performed with the approximate v(xc) obtained with the statistical averaging of (model) orbitals potentials (SAOP) and the calculated epsilon(k) are compared with 406 experimental VIPs. Reasonable agreement between the SAOP -epsilon(k) and the outer valence VIPs is found with an average deviation of about 0.4 eV. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.},

In spite of their apparent conceptual simplicity, Core and Valence Electron Binding Energies (CEBEs and VEBEs) a few electron-volts (eV) or fractions of an eV apart are difficult to interpret. We present some results obtained with various recent theoretical. approaches. An emphasis is made on a procedure based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) that enables the calculation of CEBEs and VEBEs which are in remarkable agreement with experiment. The method has been tested on numerous small (3-6 atoms) to fairly large (15-25 atoms) molecules, and shows an average absolute deviation with experiment of only 0.20 eV for CEBEs and 0.30 eV for VEBEs, i.e. compatible with the resolution of the best XPS experiments carried out at the moment. Besides the quality of its predictions, the procedure takes advantage of the speed and CPU time scaling of DFT as a function of system size: it is computationally tractable, even for surprisingly large systems such as polymers, and may be an interesting accurate alternative to interpret and simulate XPS-probing on real systems, We illustrate the usefullness and pitfalls of this approach in fundamental as well as applied fields such as in the study of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyvinyldifluoride (PVdF) and gamma-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (gamma-APS, an adhesion promoter).
