To explore the potential of molecular gas treatment of freshly cut lithium foils in non-electrolyte based passivation of high energy-density Li anodes, density functional theory (DFT) has been used to study the decomposition of molecular…

Due to efficient scaling with electron number N, density functional theory (DFT) is widely used for studies of large molecules and solids. Restriction of an exact mean-field theory to local potential functions has recently been questioned.…

Accurate de novo molecular and materials design requires structure-property models that generalize beyond known regimes. Although pretrained atomistic models achieve strong in-distribution accuracy after fine-tuning, their reliability under…

By partitioning the electron density into subsystem contributions, the Frozen Density Embedding (FDE) formulation of subsystem DFT has recently emerged as a powerful tool for reducing the computational scaling of Kohn--Sham DFT. To date,…

Predicting the compositional phase stability of strongly correlated electron materials is an outstanding challenge in condensed matter physics, requiring precise computations of total energies. In this work, we employ the density functional…

We formulate the on-site occupation dependent exchange correlation energy and effective potential of hybrid functionals for localized states and connect them to the on-site correction term of the DFT+U method. Our derivation provides a…

One of the most important open challenges in modern Kohn-Sham (KS) density-functional theory (DFT) is the correct treatment of fractional electron charges and spins. Approximate exchange-correlation (XC) functionals struggle to do this in a…

The systematic underestimation of band gaps is one of the most fundamental challenges in semilocal density functional theory (DFT). In addition to hindering the application of DFT to predicting electronic properties, the band gap problem is…

We present a simplified density functional theory (DFT) method to com- pute vertical electron and hole attachment energies to frontier orbitals of molecules absorbed on insulating films supported by a metal substrate. The adsorbate and the…

Knowledge of the atomic geometry of a surface is a prerequisite for any detailed understanding of the surface's electronic structure and chemical properties. Previous studies have convincingly demonstrated that density functional theory…

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…

The stochastic density functional theory (DFT) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 106402 (2013)] is a valuable linear scaling approach to Kohn-Sham DFT that does not rely on the sparsity of the density matrix. Linear (and often sub-linear) scaling is…

Various methods going beyond density-functional theory (DFT), such as DFT+U, hybrid functionals, meta-GGAs, GW, and DFT-embedded dynamical mean field theory (eDMFT), have been developed to describe the electronic structure of correlated…

We present a formulation and implementation of the DFT+\textit{U} method within the framework of linear combination of numerical atomic orbitals (NAO). Our implementation not only enables single-point total energy and electronic-structure…

Localized molecular orbitals are often used for the analysis of chemical bonds, but they can also serve to efficiently and comprehensibly compute linear response properties. While conventional canonical molecular orbitals provide an…

We introduce natural atomic orbitals as the local projector to define the correlated subspace for DFT + DMFT (density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory) calculation. The natural atomic orbitals are found to be stably…

Several methods have been developed to improve the predictions of density functional theory (DFT) in the case of strongly correlated electron systems. Out of these approaches, DFT+$U$, which corresponds to a static treatment of the local…

For the theoretical understanding of the reactivity of complex chemical systems accurate relative energies between intermediates and transition states are required. Despite its popularity, density functional theory (DFT) often fails to…

Density functional theory (DFT), the most widely adopted method in modern computational chemistry, fails to describe accurately the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. Here we show that DFT can be formally and practically…

The present contribution does not aim at replacing the huge and often excellent literature on DFT for atomic nuclei, but tries to provide an updated introduction to this topic. The goal would be, ideally, to help a fresh M.Sc. or Ph.D.…
