Correcting overbinding in local-density-approximation calculations
We introduce a semiempirical method to correct the systematic equilibrium lattice parameters underestimation present in first principles calculations based on the local density approximation. The method consists in performing calculations under a negative pressure such that the calculated equilibrium volume matches the experimentally observed one. We find that elastic properties obtained under ...
متن کاملShort-range exchange and correlation energy density functionals: beyond the local-density approximation.
We propose approximations which go beyond the local-density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multideterminantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists of defining locally the range of the interaction in the correlation functional. Another approximation, more conventional, is based on a gradient expansion of ...
متن کاملRobust acceleration of self consistent field calculations for density functional theory.
We show that the type 2 Broyden secant method is a robust general purpose mixer for self consistent field problems in density functional theory. The Broyden method gives reliable convergence for a large class of problems and parameter choices. We directly mix the approximation of the electronic density to provide a basis independent mixing scheme. In particular, we show that a single set of par...
متن کاملSelf - consistent - field calculations using Chebyshev - filtered subspace iteration q
The power of density functional theory is often limited by the high computational demand in solving an eigenvalue problem at each self-consistent-field (SCF) iteration. The method presented in this paper replaces the explicit eigenvalue calculations by an approximation of the wanted invariant subspace, obtained with the help of well-selected Chebyshev polynomial filters. In this approach, only ...
متن کاملSelf-consistent-field calculations of core excited states.
The accuracy of core excitation energies and core electron binding energies computed within a Delta self-consistent-field framework is assessed. The variational collapse of the core excited state is prevented by maintaining a singly occupied core orbital using an overlap criterion called the maximum overlap method. When applied to a wide range of small organic molecules, the resulting core exci...
