چکیده

This paper explores the possibility of combining projected Hartree-Fock and density functional theories for treating static and dynamic correlations in molecular systems with mean-field computational cost. The combination of spin-projected unrestricted Hartree-Fock (SUHF) with the TPSS correlation functional (SUHF+TPSS) yields excellent results for non-metallic molecular dissociations and singlet-triplet splittings. However, SUHF+TPSS fails to provide the qualitatively correct dissociation curve for the notoriously difficult case of the chromium dimer. By tuning the TPSS correlation parameters and adding complex conjugation symmetry breaking and restoration to SUHF, the right curve shape for Cr2 can be obtained; unfortunately, such a combination is found to lead to overcorrelation in the general case.

Some 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...

Brueckner-Hartree-Fock study of circular quantum dots

We calculate ground state energies in the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory for N electrons with N 20 confined to a circular quantum dot and in presence of a static magnetic field. Comparison with the predictions of Hartree-Fock, local-spin-density and exact configuration-interaction theories is made. We find that the correlations taken into account in Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations give an im...
