Proximity induced superconductivity with a clean interface has attracted much attention in recent years. We discuss how the commonly-employed electron tunneling approximation can be hybridized with first-principles calculation to achieve a…
Density functional theory is currently the most widely applied method in electronic structure theory. The Kohn-Sham method, based on a fictitious system of non-interacting particles, is the work horse of the theory. The particular form of…
The density functional theory (DFT) interaction energy of a dimer is rigorously derived from the monomer densities. To this end, the supermolecular energy bifunctional is formulated in terms of mutually orthogonal sets of orbitals of the…
Reporting extensions of a recently developed approach to density functional theory with correct long-range be-havior (Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 043002 (2005)). The central quantities are a splitting functional gamma[n] and a complementary…
We propose a way to improve energy density functionals (EDFs) in the density functional theory based on the combination of the inverse Kohn--Sham method and the density functional perturbation theory. Difference between the known EDF and…
A high-throughput benchmarking technique for testing the performance of different exchange-correlation functionals and pseudopotentials is proposed and applied to bulk SnS. It is shown that, contrary to the popular view that the local…
Two single-molecule magnets are coupled antiferromagnetically to form a supramolecule dimer. We study the coupling effect and tunneling process by means of the numerical exact diagonalization method, and apply them to the recently…
Spin is a fundamental property of any many-electron system. The ability of density functional theory to accurately predict the physical properties of a system, while varying its spin, is crucial for describing magnetic materials and…
Kohn-Sham density functional theory is the base of modern computational approaches to electronic structures. Their accuracy vitally relies on the exchange-correlation energy functional, which encapsulates electron-electron interaction…
Based on spin-density functional theory we calculate the electronic structure of a tunnel junction consisting of two magnetic Fe layers separated by an insulating vacuum barrier selfconsistently. For the conductance the Landauer formula is…
Solid state theory, density functional theory and its generalizations for correlated systems together with numerical simulations on supercomputers allow nowadays to model magnetic systems realistically and in detail and can be even used to…
The rational function approximation method, density functional theory, and NVT Monte Carlo simulation are used to obtain the density profiles of multicomponent hard-sphere mixtures near a planar hard wall. Binary mixtures with a size ratio…
We calculate ground-state energies and densities of a helium atom confined in an impenetrable spherical box within density functional theory. These calculations are performed by variationally solving Kohn-Sham equation with the ground-state…
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…
We propose approximations which go beyond the local density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists…
This work explores the use of joint density-functional theory, a new form of density-functional theory for the ab initio description of electronic systems in thermodynamic equilibrium with a liquid environment, to describe electrochemical…
We study the equilibrium properties of a ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor structure near a magnetic domain wall. We show how the domain wall size is affected by the superconductivity in such structures. Moreover, we calculate several…
The recently developed Deep Potential [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 143001, 2018] is a powerful method to represent general inter-atomic potentials using deep neural networks. The success of Deep Potential rests on the proper treatment of locality…
A single-term density functional model for nondynamic and strong correlation is presented, based on single-determinant Kohn-Sham density functional theory. It is derived from modeling the adiabatic connection and contains only two nonlinear…
A simple model is considered to study the effects of finite size and internal structure in the tunneling of bound two-body systems through a potential barrier. It is demonstrated that these effects are able to increase the tunneling…
