A functional $E_{xc}[\rho(\r,\epsilon)]$ is presented, in which the exchange and correlation energy of an electron gas depends on the local density of occupied states. A simple local parametrization scheme is proposed, entirely from first…
The numerical implementation of an exchange-correlation functional is not always an accurate reproduction of its theoretical specification. For example, density functionals for exchange and correlation can be defined by an exchange or…
Coulomb interactions that occur in electronic structure calculations are correlated by allowing basis function components of the interacting densities to polarize, thereby reducing the magnitude of the interaction. Exchange integrals of…
We present a detailed study of the coupling-constant-averaged exchange-correlation hole density at a jellium surface, which we obtain in the random-phase approximation (RPA) of many-body theory. We report contour plots of the exchange-only…
Most density functionals have been developed by imposing the known exact constraints on the exchange-correlation energy, or by a fit to a set of properties of selected systems, or by both. However, accurate modeling of the conventional…
We use variational quantum Monte Carlo to calculate the density-functional exchange-correlation hole n_{xc}, the exchange-correlation energy density e_{xc}, and the total exchange-correlation energy E_{xc}, of several electron gas systems…
We consider density functionals for exchange and correlation energies in two-dimensional systems. The functionals are constructed by making use of exact constraints for the angular averages of the corresponding exchange and correlation…
It is shown that the equation of motion of the one-particle Green function of an interacting many-electron system is governed by a multiplicative time-dependent exchange-correlation potential, which is the Coulomb potential of a…
The construction of density-functional approximations is explored by modeling the adiabatic connection em locally, using energy densities defined in terms of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. These local models…
We present a simple and direct proof that the exchange-correlation hole, and therefore the exchange-correlation energy, in a polarized insulator is not determined by the bulk density alone. It is uniquely characterized by the density and…
The correlation holes for densities of equal and opposite spin around a test electron are determined from the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with proper boundary conditions. The traditional "exchange" term follows from the boundary condition…
We point out that a typical two-electron distribution function in atoms and molecules often called the intracule depends sensitively on the electron-electron repulsion which leads to the so-called Coulomb correlation. The difference between…
The region surrounding the excitonic insulator phase is a three-component plasma composed of electrons, holes, and excitons. Due to the extended nature of the excitons, their presence influences the surrounding electrons and holes. We…
Microscopic models of electronic subsystems with orbital degeneracy of energy states and non-diagonal matrix elements of electron interactions (correlated hopping) are considered within the configuration-operator approach. Equations for…
The exchange-correlation hole and potential of the homogeneous electron gas have been investigated within the random-phase approximation, employing the plasmon-pole approximation for the linear density response function. The angular…
We present a review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density functional theory which are currently used in electronic structure calculations of strongly-correlated materials where the one-electron description breaks down.…
We propose a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the angle- and system-averaged exchange-correlation hole of a many-electron system. This hole, which satisfies known exact constraints, recovers the PBEsol (Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof…
We discuss the exchange-correlation energy of a multicomponent (multi-valley) two-dimensional electron gas and show that an extension of the recent parametrisation of the exchange-correlation energy by Attacalite et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 88,…
We present here a model of the exchange-correlation hole for strongly correlated systems using a simple nonlocal generalization of the Wigner--Seitz radius. The model behaves similarly to the strictly correlated electron approach, which…
