Semi-local density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy of electrons are extensively used as it produce realistic and accurate results for finite and extended systems. The choice of techniques play crucial role in constructing…
We study both static and transport properties of model quantum dots, employing density functional theory as well as (numerically) exact methods. For the lattice model under consideration the accuracy of the local-density approximation…
It is known that the asymptotic decay of the electron density $n(\br)$ outside a molecule is informative about its first ionization potential $I_0$, $n(|\br|\to\infty) \sim \text{exp}(-2\sqrt{2I_0}\,r)$. This dictates the orbital energy of…
Density-functional theory for superfluid systems is developed in the framework of the functional renormalization group based on the effective action formalism. We introduce the effective action for the particle-number and nonlocal pairing…
Gould and Pittalis [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 016401 (2019)] recently revealed a density-driven (DD) correlation energy that is specific to many-electron ensembles and must be accounted for by approximations. We derive in this Letter a general…
The development of novel materials for vacuum electron sources in particle accelerators is an active field of research that can greatly benefit from the results of \textit{ab initio} calculations for the characterization of the electronic…
Coupled cluster theory with a Kohn-Sham reference (KS-CC) can dramatically outperform its Hartree-Fock counterpart for strongly correlated systems, but the origin of these improvements has remained unclear. Here we demonstrate that these…
Based on a microcanonical picture that maps the steady-state quantum transport process to a drain-to-source excitation, we develop a constrained-search density functional formalism for finite-bias quantum transport calculations. By…
The density functional approach in the Kohn-Sham approximation is widely used to study properties of many-electron systems. Due to the nonlinearity of the Kohn-Sham equations, the general self-consistence searching method involves…
The capability of density-functional theory to deal with the ground-state of strongly correlated low-dimensional systems, such as semiconductor quantum dots, depends on the accuracy of functionals developed for the exchange and correlation…
In the context of the density functional theory we consider the single particle excitation spectra of electron systems. As a result, we have related the single particle excitations with the eigenvalues of the corresponding Kohn-Sham…
The alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies proposed by Toulouse et al. [Theor. Chem. Acc. 114, 305 (2005)] is explored in the context of multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory. The new…
We introduce a short-range correlation density functional defined with respect to a multi-determinantal reference which is meant to be used in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme of density functional theory based on a…
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…
We develop a stochastic formulation of the optimally-tuned range-separated hybrid density functional theory which enables significant reduction of the computational effort and scaling of the non-local exchange operator at the price of…
Numerically "exact" methods addressing the dynamics of coupled electron--phonon systems have been intensively developed. Nevertheless, the corresponding results for the electron mobility $\mu_\mathrm{dc}$ are scarce, even for the…
Absolute binding energies of core electrons in molecules and bulk materials can be efficiently calculated by spin paired density-function theory employing a $\Delta$ Kohn-Sham ($\Delta$KS) scheme corrected by offsets that are highly…
A relativistic density-functional theory based on a Fock-space effective quantum-electrodynamics (QED) Hamiltonian using the Coulomb or Coulomb-Breit two-particle interaction is developed. This effective QED theory properly includes the…
In this paper, we investigate the energy minimization model of the ensemble Kohn-Sham density functional theory for metallic systems, in which a pseudo-eigenvalue matrix and a general smearing approach are involved. We study the invariance…
There are several approximations to the exchange-correlation functional in density-functional theory that accurately predict total energy-related properties of many-electron systems, such as binding energies, bond lengths, and crystal…
