Adsorbed transition metal atoms can have partially filled $d$- or $f$-shells due to strong on-site Coulomb interaction. Capturing all effects originating from electron correlation in such strongly correlated systems is a challenge for…
We present calculations of the correlation energies of crystalline solids and isolated systems within the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation formulation of density-functional theory. We perform a quantitative comparison of a set…
In this paper, an alternative method to range-separated linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory and perturbation theory is proposed to improve the estimation of the energies of a physical system from the energies of a…
The performance of functionals based on the idea of interpolating between the weak and the strong-interaction limits the global adiabatic-connection integrand is carefully studied for the challenging case of noble-metal clusters. Different…
The adiabatic connection formula of ground-state density functional theory relates the correlation energy to a coupling-constant integral over a purely potential contribution, and is widely used to understand and improve approximations. The…
Improving the accuracy and thus broadening the applicability of electronic density functional theory (DFT) is crucial to many research areas, from material science, to theoretical chemistry, biophysics and biochemistry. In the last three…
Motivated by the considerable importance of material properties in modern condensed matter physics research, and using techniques of the $N_{e}$ -electron systems in terms of the electron density $n_{\sigma e}\left( r\right) $ needed to…
We illustrate the scope of Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) for strongly correlated (lattice) models out of equilibrium. Using the exact many body time evolution, we reverse engineer the exact exchange correlation (xc)…
Using an accurate semi-analytic wavefunction for two electron atoms, we construct the external potential for varying strength of electron-electron (e-e) interaction. Using this potential we explicitly calculate the energy of their positive…
Many recent applications of time-dependent density functional theory begin in an initially excited state, and propagate it using an adiabatic approximation for the exchange-correlation potential. This however inserts the excited-state…
We formulate a rigorous method for calculating a nonadiabatic (frequency-dependent) exchange-correlation (XC) kernel required for correct description of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of strongly correlated systems within…
Using the formalism of the conditional amplitude, we study the response part of the exchange-correlation potential in the strong-coupling limit of density functional theory, analysing its peculiar features and comparing it with the response…
Standard flavors of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations are known to fail in describing anions, due to large self-interaction errors. The problem may be circumvented by using localized basis sets of reduced size, leaving no…
While in principle exact, Kohn-Sham density functional theory -- the workhorse of computational chemistry -- must rely on approximations for the exchange-correlation functional. Despite staggering successes, present-day approximations still…
Excitation energies of light-emitting organic conjugated polymers have been investigated with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) within the adiabatic approximation for the dynamical exchange-correlation potential. Our…
We investigate whether the entropic regularisation of the strictly-correlated-electrons problem can be used to build approximations for the kinetic correlation energy functional at large coupling strengths and, more generally, to gain new…
Strong correlation can be essentially captured with multireference wavefunction methods such as complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) or density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). Still, an accurate description of the…
We use continuum mechanics [Tao \emph{et al}, PRL{\bf 103},086401] to approximate the dynamic density response of interacting many-electron systems. Thence we develop a numerically efficient exchange-correlation energy functional based on…
Density functional theory at finite temperatures often relies on the zero-temperature approximation, which uses a ground-state exchange-correlation functional with thermalized densities. This approach, however, neglects the explicit…
We investigate the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) exchange-correlation energy functional approximations of density functional theory in anisotropic systems with two-dimensional (2D) character. Using two simple models, quasi-2D electron…
