Adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation density-functional theory based on range separation

Materials Science 2009-03-03 v3

Abstract

An adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem approach based on a range separation of electron-electron interactions is proposed. It involves a rigorous combination of short-range density functional and long-range random phase approximations. This method corrects several shortcomings of the standard random phase approximation and it is particularly well suited for describing weakly-bound van der Waals systems, as demonstrated on the challenging cases of the dimers Be2_2 and Ne2_2.
