Point transformations applied to density-functional calculations

The AM05 density functional applied to solids.

We show that the AM05 functional [Armiento and Mattsson, Phys. Rev. B 72, 085108 (2005)] has the same excellent performance for solids as the hybrid density functionals tested in Paier et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 154709 (2006); 125, 249901 (2006)]. This confirms the original finding that AM05 performs exceptionally well for solids and surfaces. Hartree-Fock hybrid calculations are typically an ...

A standard grid for density functional calculations

An efficient and reasonably accurate grid, designated SG-1, is proposed for use in density functional calculations. Defined for all atoms from H to Ar, SC&I is recommended as a standard grid, analogous to the various standard basis sets which are used in contemporary quantum chemistry. In calculations on systems of moderate size, the differences between SCI and very large grids are of the order...

Density-Functional Calculations of Molecular Electron Affinities

Afinidades eletrônicas de doze moléculas pequenas foram calculadas pela teoria de funcional de densidade empregando dois funcionais diferentes(B88-P86 e B3LYP) combinados com três conjuntos de bases diferentes(6-31++G**, 6-311++G** e aug-cc-pVTZ). O método de função de Green para camada na valência exterior também foi empregado para os cálculos de afinidades eletrônicas das moléculas. Duas melh...

Wavelets in all-electron density-functional calculations

We have developed an all-electron density-functional ~AE-DF! program using the Mexican hat wavelet. The AE-DF program is applied to the ab initio all-electron calculations of small molecules as prototype systems, and the construction scheme of multiresolution support spheres is used to optimize the computational efficiency. Convergences are systematically demonstrated as a function of the numbe...
