A short-range correlation energy density functional with multi-determinantal reference

Chemical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

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.
