A short-range correlation energy density functional with multi-determinantal reference
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a short-range correlation density functional defined with respect to a multi-determinantal reference which is meant to be used in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn–Sham scheme of density functional theory based on a long-range/short-range decomposition of the Coulomb electron–electron interaction. We construct the local density approximation for this functional and discuss its performance on the He atom.

Alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies in multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory.
The alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies proposed by Toulouse et al. [Theor. Chem. Acc. 114, 305 (2005)] is explored in the context of multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory. The new decomposition of the short-range exchange-correlation energy relies on the auxiliary long-range interacting wavefunction rather than the Kohn-Sham (KS) determinant. The...
متن کاملImplicit and Explicit Coverage of Multi-reference Effects by Density Functional Theory
Multi-reference effects can be covered by density functional theory (DFT) either implicitly via the exchange-correlation functional or explicitly via the form of the Kohn-Sham wave function. With the help of the exchange hole it is shown that the self-interaction error of the exchange functional will mimic long-range electron correlation effects if restricted Kohn-Sham theory is used. Functiona...
متن کاملA self - consistent first - principles calculation scheme for correlated electron systems ‡
A self-consistent calculation scheme for correlated electron systems is created based on the density-functional theory (DFT). Our scheme is a multi-reference DFT (MR-DFT) calculation in which the electron charge density is reproduced by an auxiliary interacting Fermion system. A short-range Hubbard-type interaction is introduced by a rigorous manner with a residual term for the exchange-correla...
متن کاملExchange and correlation energy in density functional theory: Comparison of accurate density functional theory quantities with traditional Hartree–Fock based ones and generalized gradient approximations for the molecules Li2, N2, F2
The density functional definition of exchange and correlation differs from the traditional one. In order to calculate the density functional theory ~DFT!, quantities accurately, molecular Kohn–Sham ~KS! solutions have been obtained from ab initio wave functions for the homonuclear diatomic molecules Li2, N2, F2. These afford the construction of the KS determinant Cs and the calculation of its t...
متن کاملShort-range exchange and correlation energy density functionals: beyond the local-density approximation.
We propose approximations which go beyond the local-density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multideterminantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists of defining locally the range of the interaction in the correlation functional. Another approximation, more conventional, is based on a gradient expansion of ...
