Exchange–Correlation Functionals via Local Interpolation along the Adiabatic Connection
The construction of density-functional approximations is explored by modeling the adiabatic connection locally, using energy densities defined in terms of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. These local models are more amenable to the construction of size-consistent approximations than their global counterparts. In this work we use accurate input local ingredients to a...
متن کاملAssessment of exchange correlation functionals
We have examined the predictions of many of the generalised gradient approximation, and hybrid functionals, which are presently in the literature. Specifically we have looked at energetics and structures for two molecular sets, one with 93 systems and one with 147 systems. We find that recently developed functionals with more adjustable parameters give improved predictions when compared with le...
متن کاملCommunication: double-hybrid functionals from adiabatic-connection: the QIDH model.
A new approach stemming from the adiabatic-connection (AC) formalism is proposed to derive parameter-free double-hybrid (DH) exchange-correlation functionals. It is based on a quadratic form that models the integrand of the coupling parameter, whose components are chosen to satisfy several well-known limiting conditions. Its integration leads to DHs containing a single parameter controlling the...
متن کاملAccurate adiabatic connection curve beyond the physical interaction strength
In order to better approximate and understand the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory, the adiabatic connection curve is accurately calculated beyond the physical interaction strength using a simulated scaling method. This is done for Hooke’s atom, two interacting electrons in a harmonic well potential. Extrapolation of the accurate curve to the infinite-coupling limit ...
متن کاملStudy of adiabatic connection in density functional theory with an accurate wavefunction for 2-electron atoms
Using an accurate semi-analytic wavefunction for two electron atoms, we construct the external potential v ext(~r) for varying strength of αVee(0 ≤ α ≤ 1) where α is the strength parameter and Vee is electron-electron interaction. Using this potential we explicitly calculate the energy of their positive ion and show that the ionization-potential of these systems remains unchanged with respect t...
