Abstract

We consider the constrained-occupancy and (linear-response) self-consistent-field methods for screening of core-hole potentials that affect core excitation near-edge spectra. The methods are not exact, but each has distinct advantages and limitations. The excitation spectra to which we refer include x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), and non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS). The screening of interactions that arises is always accompanied by self-energy or lifetime-damping effects of electron and hole states, which we also discuss briefly.
