We propose to relax geometries throughout chemical compound space (CCS) using alchemical perturbation density functional theory (APDFT). APDFT refers to perturbation theory involving changes in nuclear charges within approximate solutions…

We introduce an orbital free electron density functional approximation based on alchemical perturbation theory. Given convergent perturbations of a suitable reference system, the accuracy of popular self-consistent Kohn-Sham density…

Based on thermodynamic integration we introduce atoms in molecules (AIM) using the orbital-free framework of alchemical perturbation density functional theory (APDFT). Within APDFT, atomic energies and electron densities in molecules are…

DFT calculations have become widespread in both chemistry and materials, because they usually provide useful accuracy at much lower computational cost than wavefunction-based methods. All practical DFT calculations require an approximation…

Doping compounds can be considered a perturbation to the nuclear charges in a molecular Hamiltonian. Expansions of this perturbation in a Taylor series, i.e. quantum alchemy, has been used in literature to assess millions of derivative…

Alchemical perturbation density functional theory has been shown to be an efficient and computationally inexpensive way to explore chemical compound space. We investigate approximations made, in terms of atomic basis sets and perturbation…

We develop a second order correction to commonly used density functional approximations (DFA) to eliminate the systematic delocalization error. The method, based on the previously developed global scaling correction (GSC), is an exact…

Molecules can form myriad crystalline polymorphs, each with distinct properties affecting their performance across diverse applications, from pharmaceuticals to functional materials and more. Predicting the thermodynamically most stable…

We introduce new and robust decompositions of mean-field Hartree-Fock (HF) and Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) relying on the use of localized molecular orbitals and physically sound charge population protocols. The new…

A previously proposed non-canonical coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT)/Hartree-Fock (HF) treatment for spin-orbit coupling is here generalized to infinite periodic systems. The scalar-relativistic periodic…

Calculating perturbation response properties of materials from first principles provides a vital link between theory and experiment, but is bottlenecked by the high computational cost. Here a general framework is proposed to perform density…

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit exceptional catalytic performance due to their complex surface structures. However, the vast number of active binding sites in HEAs, as opposed to conventional alloys, presents a significant computational…

The present work proposes an approach to obtain a basis-set correction based on density-functional theory (DFT) for the computation of molecular properties in wave-function theory (WFT). This approach allows one to accelerate the basis-set…

Interatomic pairwise methods are currently among the most popular and accurate ways to include dispersion energy in density functional theory (DFT) calculations. However, when applied to more than two atoms, these methods are still…

Density Functional Theory (DFT) allows for predicting all the chemical and physical properties of molecular systems from first principles by finding an approximate solution to the many-body Schr\"odinger equation. However, the cost of these…

We have performed self-consistent calculations for first and second row atoms using a variant of density-functional theory, the optimized effective potential method, with an approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate and a…

The accuracy at which total energies of open-shell atoms and organic radicals may be calculated is assessed for selected coupled cluster perturbative triples expansions, all of which augment the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD)…

For the Hirshfeld-I atom-in-molecule model, associated single-atom energies and interaction energies at the Hartree-Fock level are determined efficiently in one-electron Hilbert space. In contrast to most other approaches, the energy terms…

Complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) computations can be realized at polynomial cost via the variational optimization of the active-space two-electron reduced-density matrix (2-RDM). Like conventional approaches to CASSCF,…
