The random phase approximation (RPA) systematically overestimates the magnitude of the correlation energy and generally underestimates cohesive energies. This originates in part from the complete lack of exchange terms, which would…

In bilayer systems electron-hole (e-h) pairs with spatially separated components (i.e., with electrons in one layer and holes in the other) can be condensed to a superfluid state when the temperature is lowered. This article deals with the…
Random phase approximation ground state contains electronic configurations where two (and more) identical electrons can occupy the same molecular spin-orbital violating the Pauli exclusion principle. This overcounting of electronic…
