Bond breaking and bond formation: how electron correlation is captured in many-body perturbation theory and density-functional theory.
For the paradigmatic case of H(2) dissociation, we compare state-of-the-art many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation and density-functional theory in the exact-exchange plus random-phase approximation (RPA) for the correlation energy. For an unbiased comparison and to prevent spurious starting point effects, both approaches are iterated to full self-consistency (i.e., sc-RPA and sc...
متن کاملBeyond the random-phase approximation for the electron correlation energy: the importance of single excitations.
The random-phase approximation (RPA) for the electron correlation energy, combined with the exact-exchange (EX) energy, represents the state-of-the-art exchange-correlation functional within density-functional theory. However, the standard RPA practice--evaluating both the EX and the RPA correlation energies using Kohn-Sham (KS) orbitals from local or semilocal exchange-correlation functionals-...
متن کاملStatic correlation beyond the random phase approximation: dissociating H2 with the Bethe-Salpeter equation and time-dependent GW.
We investigate various approximations to the correlation energy of a H2 molecule in the dissociation limit, where the ground state is poorly described by a single Slater determinant. The correlation energies are derived from the density response function and it is shown that response functions derived from Hedin's equations (Random Phase Approximation (RPA), Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF), ...
متن کاملLevels of self-consistency in the GW approximation.
We perform GW calculations on atoms and diatomic molecules at different levels of self-consistency and investigate the effects of self-consistency on total energies, ionization potentials, and particle number conservation. We further propose a partially self-consistent GW scheme in which we keep the correlation part of the self-energy fixed within the self-consistency cycle. This approximation ...
متن کاملCoulomb-hole summations and energies for GW calculations with limited number of empty orbitals: a modified static remainder approach
Abstract Ab initio GW calculations are a standard method for computing the spectroscopic properties of many materials. The most computationally expensive part in conventional implementations of the method is the generation and summation over the large number of empty orbitals required to converge the electron self energy. We propose a scheme to reduce the summation over empty states by the use ...
