Exchange methods in Kohn-Sham theory.

چکیده
Differences between exchange methods in exchange-only Kohn-Sham theory are highlighted by calculations of diatomic molecule total energies, uncoupled isotropic NMR shieldings, and HOMO-LUMO eigenvalue differences. Optimised effective potential (OEP) and Wu-Yang (WY) results are very similar. Localised Hartree-Fock (LHF) and Krieger-Li-Iafrate (KLI) results are close to one another, but are different to OEP and WY. Becke 1988 exchange (B88X) is different again. Shieldings reduce from OEP/WY to LHF/KLI to B88X, which is consistent with an observed reduction in HOMO-LUMO gaps. LHF, KLI, and B88X shieldings and HOMO-LUMO gaps are closer to near-exact, correlated values, than are the OEP values. These variations arise entirely due to differences in the one-electron exchange potentials, which is clearly evident in potential difference plots, relative to OEP, for the N2 molecule. Density difference plots are also presented, which exhibit a spatial correlation with the potential differences. HOMO and LUMO probability density difference plots show a contraction of the LUMO relative to OEP, which is consistent with the NMR and HOMO-LUMO findings. Plots are also presented for near-exact, correlated Kohn-Sham calculations. The features are qualitatively similar to those observed in the LHF, KLI, and B88X plots, highlighting correlated character in these approximate exchange-only calculations.

Time-dependent density functional theory beyond Kohn-Sham Slater determinants.
When running time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations for real-time simulations of non-equilibrium dynamics, the user has a choice of initial Kohn-Sham state, and typically a Slater determinant is used. We explore the impact of this choice on the exchange-correlation potential when the physical system begins in a 50 : 50 superposition of the ground and first-excited state o...
متن کاملCarlo calculation of the exchange energy
In recent generalized Kohn-Sham (GKS) schemes for density functional theory (DFT) HartreeFock type exchange is important. In plane waves and grid approaches the high cost of exchange energy calculations makes these GKS considerably more expensive than Kohn-Sham DFT calculations. We develop a stochastic approach for speeding up the calculation of exchange for large systems. We show that stochast...
متن کاملThe Keldysh Formalism Applied to Time-dependent Current-density- Functional Theory
In this work we demonstrate how to derive the Kohn-Sham equations of time-dependent current-density functional theory from a generating action functional defined on a Keldysh time contour. These Kohn-Sham equations contain an exchange-correlation contribution to the vector potential. For this quantity we derive an integral equation. We further derive an integral equation for its functional deri...
متن کاملNonlocality of Kohn-Sham Exchange-Correlation Fields in Dielectrics
The theory of the macroscopic field appearing in the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential for dielectric materials, as introduced by Gonze, Ghosez, and Godby [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 294 (1997)], is reexamined. It is shown that this Kohn-Sham field cannot be determined from a knowledge of the local state of the material (local crystal potential, electric field, and polarization) alone. Instead...
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 کاملAccuracy of density functionals for molecular electronics: The Anderson junction
The exact ground-state exchange-correlation functional of Kohn-Sham density functional theory yields the exact transmission through an Anderson junction at zero bias and temperature. The exact impurity charge susceptibility is used to construct the exact exchange-correlation potential. We analyze the successes and limitations of various types of approximations, including smooth and discontinuou...
