A still open issue in many-body theory is the asymptotic behavior of the exchange-correlation energy and potential in the vacuum region of a metal surface. Here we report a numerical study of the position-dependent exchange-correlation…
Exact-exchange self-consistent calculations of the Kohn-Sham potential, surface energy, and work function of jellium slabs are reported in the framework of the Optimized Effective Potential (OEP) scheme of Density Functional Theory. In the…
The asymptotics of the Kohn-Sham (KS) exact exchange potential $V_x(z)$ of a jelliumlike semi-infinite metal is investigated, in the framework of the optimized-effective-potential formalism of density-functional theory. Our numerical…
We report extensive self-consistent calculations of jellium surface energies, by going beyond the local-density approximation. The density-response function of a bounded free-electron gas is evaluated within the random-phase approximation,…
Exact-exchange energy density and energy density of a semilocal density functional approximation are two key ingredients for modeling the static correlation, a strongly nonlocal functional of the density, through a local hybrid functional.…
The behavior of the surface barrier that forms at the metal-vacuum interface is important for several fields of surface science. Within the Density Functional Theory framework, this surface barrier has two non-trivial components: exchange…
A long-standing puzzle in density-functional theory is the issue of the long-range behavior of the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential at metal surfaces. As an important step towards its solution, it is proved here, through a rigurouos…
Several semilocal exchange potentials usually employed in the framework of density-functional theory (DFT) are tested and compared with their exact counterpart, the exchange Optimized Effective Potential (OEP), as applied to the…
Although free electron models have been established in order to capture the essential physics of interfacial and bulk properties in metals, some issues still remain regarding the application of free electron models to thin metal films. One…
Viscoelasticity and rate-dependent adhesion of soft matter lead to difficulties in modeling the 'relatively simple' problem of a rigid sphere in contact with a viscoelastic half-space. For this reason, approximations in describing surface…
A systematic approach for the construction of a density functional for van der Waals interactions that also accounts for saturation effects is described, i.e. one that is applicable at short distances. A very efficient method to calculate…
General expression for the thermodynamic potential of the model of semi-infinite jellium is obtained. By using this expression, the surface energy for infinite barrier model is calculated. The behavior of the surface energy and of chemical…
The exact-exchange (EXX) potential, which is obtained by solving the optimized-effective potential (OEP) equation, is compared to various approximate semilocal exchange potentials for a set of selected solids (C, Si, BN, MgO, Cu$_{2}$O, and…
In this work, we have applied the self-compressed stabilized jellium model to predict the equilibrium properties of isolated thin Al, Na, and Cs slabs. To make a direct correspondence to atomic slabs, we have considered only those $L$…
The effect of external strain on surface properties of simple metals is considered within the modified stabilized jellium model. The equations for the stabilization energy of the deformed Wigner-Seitz cells are derived as a function of the…
Density Functional Theory relies on universal functionals characteristic of a given system. Those functionals in general are different for the electron gas and for jellium (electron gas with uniform background). However, jellium is…
The surface energy, the one-particle distribution function of electrons, etc. of a semi-bounded metal within the framework of the semi-infinite jellium are calculated. The influence of the potential barrier height on these characteristics…
From a simplified version of the mathematical structure of the strong coupling limit of the exact exchange-correlation functional, we construct an approximation for the electronic repulsion energy at physical coupling strength, which is…
A simple exact-exchange density-functional method for a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas with variable density is presented. An analytical expression for the exact-exchange potential with only one occupied subband is provided, without…
