We investigate various approximations to the correlation energy of a H$_2$ molecule in the dissociation limit, where the ground state is poorly described by a single Slater determinant. The correlation energies are derived from the density…

Ground and excited states of a confined negative Hydrogen ion has been pursued under Kohn-Sham density functional approach by invoking a physically motivated work-function-based exchange potential. The exchange-only results are of near…

The exact static and time-dependent Kohn-Sham (KS) exchange-correlation (xc) potential is extremely challenging to approximate as it is a local multiplicative potential that depends on the electron density everywhere in the system. The KS…

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…

For systems of $N$ charged fermions (e.g. electrons) interacting with longitudinal optical quantized lattice vibrations of a polar crystal we derive upper and lower bounds on the minimal energy within the model of H. Fr\"ohlich. The only…

Methods for estimating the correlation energy of molecules and other electronic systems are discussed based on the assumption that the correlation energy can be partitioned between atomic regions. In one method, the electron density is…

We study the breakup of $\text{H}_2^+$ exposed to super-intense, femtosecond laser pulses with frequencies greater than that corresponding to the ionization potential. By solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation in an extensive…

Fromager and Lasorne [Electron. Struct. 6 025002 (2024)] have recently derived an in-principle exact Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) of electrons and nuclei, where the nuclear density and the (so-called conditional) electronic…

Ground-state Kohn-Sham density functional theory provides, in principle, the exact ground-state energy and electronic spin-densities of real interacting electrons in a static external potential. In practice, the exact density functional for…

A new mechanism is described, analyzed and visualized, for the dissipation of suprathermal rotation energy of molecules in magnetic fields, a necessary condition for their alignment. It relies upon the Lorentz force perturbing the motion of…

Two forms of relativistic density functional are derived from Dirac equation. Based on their structure analysis model of split electron is proposed. In this model electric charge and mass of electron behave like two point-like particles. It…

The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem -- the bedrock of density functional theory (DFT) -- establishes a universal map from the external potential to the energy. It also relates the electron density and atomic forces to the variation of the…

A fundamental weakness of density functional theory (DFT) is the difficulty in making systematic improvements to approximations for the exchange and correlation functionals. In this paper, we follow a wave-function-based approach [N.I.…

The Hohenberg-Kohn density functional was long ago shown to reduce to the Thomas-Fermi approximation in the non-relativistic semiclassical (or large-$Z$) limit for all matter, i.e, the kinetic energy becomes local. Exchange also becomes…

We present the first of two articles on the small volume fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. Here we focus attention on the sharp-interface version of the…

Anions and radicals are important for many applications including environmental chemistry, semiconductors, and charge transfer, but are poorly described by the available approximate energy density functionals. Here we test an approximate…

We present new ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of various atoms and molecules in strong magnetic fields ranging from B=10^12 G to 2x10^15 G, appropriate for radio pulsars and magnetars. For these field strengths, the…

A complete solution to the inverse problem of Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory is proposed. Our method consists of two steps. First, the effective KS potential is determined from the ground state density of a given system. Then, the…

We report on a methodology for the treatment of the Coulomb energy and potential in Kohn-Sham density functional theory that is free from self-interaction effects. Specifically, we determine the Coulomb potential given as the functional…

We show that the Kohn-Sham positive-definite kinetic energy (KE) density significantly differs from the von Weizs\"acker (VW) one at the nuclear cusp as well as in the asymptotic region. At the nuclear cusp, the VW functional is shown to be…
