Alternative separation of exchange and correlation in density-functional theory

Alternative separation of exchange and correlation in density-functional theory

Alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies in multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory.

The alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies proposed by Toulouse et al. [Theor. Chem. Acc. 114, 305 (2005)] is explored in the context of multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory. The new decomposition of the short-range exchange-correlation energy relies on the auxiliary long-range interacting wavefunction rather than the Kohn-Sham (KS) determinant. The...

Density-functional approximations for exchange and correlation

Density-functional theory (DFT) is based on two pivotal theorems due to Hohenberg and Kohn [1]. The first theorem states that the ground-state density ρ(r) of a system of electrons uniquely determines the Hamiltonian and hence all properties that can be derived from it. Using mathematical language we can say that the total electronic energy of the system is a functional of the electron density,

Sum rules and bounds on the exchange and correlation energy functional of current-density functional theory

The exact expression for the exchange-correlation energy functional Exc@r ,jp# of the current-density functional theory ~CDFT! is derived by means of the coupling-constant integration technique. It contains the coupling-constant-averaged pair correlation function, which is a functional of the electron density r(r) and paramagnetic current density jp(r). On the basis of this expression, the loca...
