Dear Jiayu Dai,<br>Prof. R. Godby is one of the most famous scientist who worked on many-body theory. i think this lecture should be help full for you.<br>{Many-Body Theory and DFT / TDDFT<br>Rex Godby&quot;<br><a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&amp;q=cache:gBMHk9QaO3cJ:www.tddft.org/TDDFT2006/2006tddft/docs/school/Godby.pdf+TDDFT+and+GW&amp;hl=en&amp;pid=bl&amp;srcid=ADGEESiq9Au0dGZsFvyPUtLL9nEaPg44xzN8NzkJiiguvyAdyTFUpucP8XOKWMyrKammwPLMDfQZncmtgoh8NA-PFsRKaUxsRnrdbFId7a7dW2mkkOHqrr4TFgpalZC775KF1njtbF4p&amp;sig=AHIEtbTLv5XgSx5m0wfXO3sMV7vzJlgOtg&amp;pli=1">http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&amp;q=cache:gBMHk9QaO3cJ:www.tddft.org/TDDFT2006/2006tddft/docs/school/Godby.pdf+TDDFT+and+GW&amp;hl=en&amp;pid=bl&amp;srcid=ADGEESiq9Au0dGZsFvyPUtLL9nEaPg44xzN8NzkJiiguvyAdyTFUpucP8XOKWMyrKammwPLMDfQZncmtgoh8NA-PFsRKaUxsRnrdbFId7a7dW2mkkOHqrr4TFgpalZC775KF1njtbF4p&amp;sig=AHIEtbTLv5XgSx5m0wfXO3sMV7vzJlgOtg&amp;pli=1</a><br>

                        Dear users,<br>
                        <br>
                        It is well known that GW method can give much more accurate band gap since it considers many body interaction, and thus it can give more accurate optical properties. What i am thinking is that what&#39;s the difference between the optical properties from TDDFPT and GW. I mean, TDDFPT has the same accuracy as the GW method? or what&#39;s the advantage of TDDFPT over the GW except the computationl cost?<br>

                        <br>
                        Thanks a lot.<br>
                        <br>
