Transverse spin-gradient functional for noncollinear spin-density-functional theory.
We present a novel functional for spin-density-functional theory aiming at the description of noncollinear magnetic structures. The construction of the functional employs the spin-spiral-wave state of the uniform electron gas as reference system. We show that the functional depends on transverse gradients of the spin magnetization; i.e., in contrast with the widely used local spin density appro...
متن کاملAccounting for spin fluctuations beyond local spin density approximation in the density functional theory
We present a method to correct the magnetic properties of itinerant systems in the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA), and we apply it to the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition under pressure in a typical itinerant system Ni3Al. We obtain a scaling of the critical fluctuations as a function of pressure equivalent to the one obtained within Moryia’s theory. Moreover, we show that in this...
متن کاملPerformance of Gradient-Corrected and Hybrid Density Functional Theory: Role of the Underlying Local Density Approximation and the Gradient Correction.
We have analyzed the performance of several widely used density functional theory procedures, namely B-P86, B-PW91, B-LYP, B3-P86, B3-PW91, and B3-LYP, for the E3 set of thermochemical properties. Each of these procedures employs a local density approximation (LDA) functional and a gradient correction for the correlation energy. We find that the VWN3 LDA functional in B-P86, B-PW91, B3-P86, and...
متن کاملDensity functional theory of inhomogeneous liquids. IV. Squared-gradient approximation and classical nucleation theory.
The squared-gradient approximation to the modified-core Van der Waals density functional theory model is developed. A simple, explicit expression for the SGA coefficient involving only the bulk equation of state and the interaction potential is given. The model is solved for planar interfaces and spherical clusters and is shown to be quantitatively accurate in comparison to computer simulations...
