The Poisson equation in density fitting for the Kohn-Sham Coulomb problem
نویسنده
چکیده
A new density fitting approach to the Coulomb problem in Kohn–Sham and Hartree–Fock theory is introduced. Almost all of the 2and 3-index repulsion integrals become simple overlap-like integrals, without approximation. The method is tested on numerous benchmark problems, which reveal that accuracy equal to or better than standard density fitting can be achieved with the evaluation of around a tenth of the number of Coulomb integrals. The scaling properties of the method are illustrated for polyalanine helices up to Ala16 . © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1414370#

Poisson equation in the Kohn-Sham Coulomb problem.
We apply the Poisson equation to the quantum mechanical Coulomb problem for many-particle systems. By introducing a suitable basis set, the two-electron Coulomb integrals become simple overlaps. This offers the possibility of very rapid linear-scaling treatment of the Coulomb contribution to Kohn-Sham theory.
متن کاملPoisson-transformed density fitting in relativistic four-component Dirac-Kohn-Sham theory.
We present recent developments in the implementation of the density fitting approach for the Coulomb interaction within the four-component formulation of relativistic density functional theory [Belpassi et al., J. Chem. Phys. 124, 124104 (2006)]. In particular, we make use of the Poisson equation to generate suitable auxiliary basis sets and simplify the electron repulsion integrals [Manby and ...
متن کاملGenuine converging solution of self - consistent field equations for extended many - electron systems
Calculations of the ground state of inhomogeneous many-electron systems involve a solving of the Poisson equation for Coulomb potential and the Schrödinger equation for single-particle orbitals. Due to nonlinearity and complexity this set of equations, one believes in the iterative method for the solution that should consist in consecutive improvement of the potential and the electron density u...
متن کاملElectronic Structure: Density Functional Theory
Density functional theory (DFT) is a successful theory to calculate the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and solids. Its goal is the quantitative understanding of materials properties from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. Traditional electronic structure methods attempt to find approximate solutions to the Schrödinger equation of N interacting electrons moving in an external,...
متن کاملA short-range correlation energy density functional with multi-determinantal reference
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 discus...
