One-dimensional multi-component Fermi or Bose systems with strong zero-range interactions can be described in terms of local exchange coefficients and mapping the problem into a spin model is thus possible. For arbitrary external confining…
It is demonstrated that the commonly applied self interaction correction (SIC) used in density functional theory does not remove all self interaction. We present as an alternative a novel method which, by construction, is totally free from…
We examine whether the self interaction correction method by Harrison, which does not introduce the spherical single particle density approximation to energy functional, can be applied to Na clusters. We show that it does not work well,…
As a proof of principle, self-consistent Kohn--Sham calculations are performed with the exact exchange-correlation functional. Finding the exact functional for even one trial density requires solving the interacting Schr\"odinger equation…
