Free energy functionals for polarization fluctuations: Pekar factor revisited.
The separation of slow nuclear and fast electronic polarization in problems related to electron mobility in polarizable media was considered by Pekar 70 years ago. Within dielectric continuum models, this separation leads to the Pekar factor in the free energy of solvation by the nuclear degrees of freedom. The main qualitative prediction of Pekar's perspective is a significant, by about a fact...
متن کاملEnergy fluctuations shape free energy of nonspecific biomolecular interactions
Understanding design principles of biomolecular recognition is a key question of molecular biology. Yet the enormous complexity and diversity of biological molecules hamper the efforts to gain a predictive ability for the free energy of protein-protein, proteinDNA, and protein-RNA binding. Here, using a variant of the Derrida model, we predict that for a large class of biomolecular interactions...

متن کاملGeneralized-gradient-approximation noninteracting free-energy functionals for orbital-free density functional calculations
We develop a framework for orbital-free generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) for the noninteracting free energy density and its components (kinetic energy, entropy) based upon analysis of the corresponding gradient expansion. From that we obtain a new finite-temperature GGA (ftGGA) pair. We discuss implementation of the finite-temperature Thomas-Fermi, second-order gradient expansion, and...
متن کاملOrbital-free kinetic-energy functionals for the nearly free electron gas
We present an improvement over the Wang-Teter, Perrot, and Smargiassi-Madden kinetic-energy functionals without going beyond linear-response theory and without introducing a density-dependent kernel. The improved functionals were tested on bulk aluminum, and excellent results were obtained. Accurate densityfunctional calculations using the new functionals on systems larger than one can study by...
