Computational studies of electrochemical interfaces based on density-functional theory (DFT) play an increasingly important role in present research on electrochemical processes for energy conversion and storage. The homogeneous background…

We have integrated density functional theory (DFT) into quantitative convergent-beam electron diffraction (QCBED) to create a synergy between experiment and theory called QCBED-DFT. This synergy resides entirely in the electron density…

The fractional quantum Hall effect remains a captivating area in condensed matter physics, characterized by strongly correlated topological order, which manifests as fractionalized excitations and anyonic statistics. Numerical simulations,…

Under heating, $\alpha$-AlF$_3$ undergoes a structural phase transition from rhombohedral to cubic at temperature $T$ around 730 K. The density functional method is used to examine the $T$=0 energy surface in the structural parameter space,…

Density functional theory stems from the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham-Mermin (HKSM) theorem in the grand canonical ensemble (GCE). However, as recent work shows, although its extension to the canonical ensemble (CE) is not straightforward, work in…

We combine density-functional theory with density-matrix functional theory to get the best of both worlds. This is achieved by range separation of the electronic interaction which permits to rigorously combine a short-range density…

We derive an analytical density functional for the single-site entanglement of the one-dimensional homogeneous Hubbard model, by means of an approximation to the linear entropy. We show that this very simple density functional reproduces…

The flexoelectric effect refers to polarization induced in an insulator when a strain gradient is applied. We have developed a first-principles methodology based on density-functional perturbation theory to calculate the elements of the…

We generalize a previously established ab initio approach-originally developed for hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals-to accommodate solids with both internal and external degrees of freedom. This extension enables the thermodynamic and…

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…

We present for static density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory calculations an all-electron method which employs high-order hierarchical finite element bases. Our mesh generation scheme, in which structured…

The atomistic resolution recently achieved by ultrafast spectroscopies demands corresponding theoretical advances. Real-time time-dependent density-functional theory (RT-TDDFT) with Ehrenfest dynamics offers an optimal trade-off between…

We present a multi-scale approach to efficiently embed an ab initio correlated chemical fragment described by its energy-weighted density matrices, and entangled with a wider mean-field many-electron system. This approach, first presented…

We consider two-dimensional (2D) "artificial atoms" confined by an axially symmetric potential $V(\rho)$. Such configurations arise in circular quantum dots and other systems effectively restricted to a 2D layer. Using the semiclassical…

We derive the complete flexoelectric tensor, including electronic and lattice-mediated effects, of an arbitrary insulator in terms of the microscopic linear response of the crystal to atomic displacements. The basic ingredient, which can be…

A practical electronic structure method in which a two-body functional is the fundamental variable is constructed. The basic formalism of our method is equivalent to Hartree-Fock density matrix functional theory [M. Levy in {\it Density…

The advent of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem in 1964, its extension to finite-T, Kohn-Sham theory, and relativistic extensions provide the well-established formalism of density-functional theory (DFT). This theory enables the calculation of all…

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) shielding constants of transition metals in solvated complexes are computed at the relativistic density functional theory (DFT) level. The solvent effects evaluated with subsystem-DFT approaches are compared…

The widely used thermal Hartree-Fock (HF) theory is generalized to include the effect of electron correlation while maintaining its quasi-independent-particle framework. An electron-correlated internal energy (or grand potential) is…

Million-atom quantum simulations are in principle feasible with Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory (OF-DFT) because the algorithms only require simple functional minimizations with respect to the electron density function. In this…
