Charge-constrained auxiliary-density-matrix methods for the Hartree-Fock exchange contribution.

چکیده
Three new variants of the auxiliary-density-matrix method (ADMM) of Guidon, Hutter, and VandeVondele [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 6, 2348 (2010)] are presented with the common feature that they have a simplified constraint compared with the full orthonormality requirement of the earlier ADMM1 method. All ADMM variants are tested for accuracy and performance in all-electron B3LYP calculations with several commonly used basis sets. The effect of the choice of the exchange functional for the ADMM exchange-correction term is also investigated.

Fukutome Symmetry Classification of the Kohn]Sham Auxiliary One-Matrix and Its Associated State or Ensemble
Ž . ABSTRACT: The Kohn]Sham KS procedure for variational minimization of the Hohenberg]Kohn density functional utilizes a one-particle reduced density matrix of assumed diagonal form, hence depends implicitly on a set of auxiliary states. Originally, the auxiliary state was assumed to be a single determinant with doubly occupied spin orbitals, i.e., of the same form as in ‘‘restricted’’ Hartree...
متن کاملHartree-Fock exchange in time dependent density functional theory: application to charge transfer excitations in solvated molecular systems
The performance of time dependent density functional theory methods for the computation of electronic absorption spectra of molecular solutions is investigated using aqueous acetone as model system. Solute and solvent are treated at the same level of theory. Whereas transition energy and intensity for the intra-molecular (1)A(2)n-->pi{*} transition are described to good accuracy by a convention...
متن کاملNuclear charge densities with the Skyrme Hartree-Fock method
Charge-density distributions and the associated nuclear radii are calculated with the Hartree-Fock method for comparison with available data from electron scattering. Two forms of Skyrme interactions are used for the calculations. As a further refinement the single-particle occupancies are constrained to values obtained from shell-model calculations. A significant improvement in the agreement i...
متن کاملShifted-contour auxiliary field Monte Carlo for ab initio electronic structure: Straddling the sign problem
The auxiliary field Monte Carlo ~AFMC! technique has advantages over other ab initio quantum Monte Carlo methods for fermions, as it does not seem to require approximations for alleviating the sign problem and is directly applicable to excited states. Yet, the method is severely limited by a numerical instability, a numerical sign problem, prohibiting application to realistic electronic structu...

A definitive negative answer to the question posed in the title of this paper is given within the framework of the Hartree-Fock theory, showing in the process that earlier work on the subject which incorrectly concluded that such a charge transfer instability exists at low electron density and small layer separation is a feature of the restricted Hartree-Fock approximation. It is also argued, b...
