Density-functional approximations for exchange and correlation

چکیده
Density-functional theory (DFT) is based on two pivotal theorems due to Hohenberg and Kohn [1]. The first theorem states that the ground-state density ρ(r) of a system of electrons uniquely determines the Hamiltonian and hence all properties that can be derived from it. Using mathematical language we can say that the total electronic energy of the system is a functional of the electron density,

Ab-initio study of Electronic, Optical, Dynamic and Thermoelectric properties of CuSbX2 (X=S,Se) compounds
Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...
متن کاملAccuracy of Various Approximations to Exchange and Correlation for the Electron Density Distribution in Atoms and Small Molecules
The general usefulness of various local and non-local approximations to the exchange-correlation potential in density functional theory is studied by comparing resulting electron density distributions to essentially exact results for light atoms. The correlation contribution to the electron density in CO and Hz0 is compared with CI results. It is concluded that density functional theory provide...

The electronic and structural properties of CaS are calculated using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation energy. For both structures, NaCl structure (B1) and CsCl structure (B2), the obtained values for lattice parameters, Bulk modulus and its pres...
متن کاملSome Fundamental Issues in Ground-State Density Functional Theory: A Guide for the Perplexed.
Some fundamental issues in ground-state density functional theory are discussed without equations: (1) The standard Hohenberg-Kohn and Kohn-Sham theorems were proven for a Hamiltonian that is not quite exact for real atoms, molecules, and solids. (2) The density functional for the exchange-correlation energy, which must be approximated, arises from the tendency of electrons to avoid one another...
متن کاملExcitation Energies from Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Using Exact and Approximate Potentials
The role of the exchange-correlation potential and the exchange-correlation kernel in the calculation of excitation energies from time-dependent density functional theory is studied. Excitation energies of the helium and beryllium atoms are calculated, both from the exact Kohn-Sham ground-state potential, and from two orbital-dependent approximations. These are exact exchange and self-interacti...
متن کاملExact exchange-correlation treatment of dissociated H(2) in density functional theory.
Whereas the wave function of the dissociated H(2) molecule is easily obtained, an exact treatment of this system has not yet been given in density functional theory. We propose an orbital dependent exchange-correlation functional that yields this exact Kohn-Sham solution. This type of functional offers an alternative to local-density and generalized gradient approximations and the prospects are...
