Some problems in density functional theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Though calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are used remarkably widely in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biomolecular research though the modern form of DFT has been studied for almost 60 years, some mathematical problems remain. For context, we provide an outline basic structure DFT, then pose several questions regarding both its time-independent time-dependent forms. Progress any these would aid development better approximate functionals interpretation.

متن کاملSome reasons not to use spin projected density functional theory
Spin unrestricted calculations using density functional theory can yield wave functions with spin contamination. In conventional post Hartree–Fock calculations ~such as Mo”ller–Plesset perturbation theory!, spin projection can ameliorate some of the problems caused by spin contamination. However, spin projection can seriously degrade the quality of potential energy surfaces calculated by densit...

Clusters play important role for understanding and transferring microscopic to macroscopic properties.Geometric and electron properties of Small nickel clusters up to the tetramer has been investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT). Raising the number of nickel clusters atoms were indicated decreasing the average equilibrium (Ni-Ni) distance of atoms and also the binding energy of per atom...
متن کاملA Density Functional Theory Study of Boron Nitride Nano-Ribbons
The electronic and structural properties of pristine and carbon doped (C-doped) boron nitride nano-ribbons(BNNRs) have been studied employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Total energies, gapenergies, dipole moments, and quadrupole coupling constants (qcc) have been calculated in the optimizedstructures of the investigated BNNRs. The results indicated that the stability and gap ...
متن کاملFrom Density Functional Theory to Density Matrix Functional Theory
Coupled cluster methods are considered among the most accurate tools in electronic structure theory. Nonetheless relatively limited attempt seems to have been made to extend their applicability to the description of the core-excitation phenomena that are behind largely used spectroscopic techniques like x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray circular dichroism. As a first step to redeem for su...
