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.…

We present DFT-FE 1.0, building on DFT-FE 0.6 [Comput. Phys. Commun. 246, 106853 (2020)], to conduct fast and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations (reaching ~ $100,000$ electrons) on both many-core CPU and…

Electrons in zero external magnetic field can be studied with density functional theory (DFT) or with spin-DFT (SDFT). The latter is normally used for open shell systems because its approximations appear to model better the exchange and…

It is believed that the density functional theory (DFT) describes most elements with s, p and d orbitals very well, except some materials that having strongly localized and correlated valence electrons. In this work, we find that the widely…

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…

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 013001 (2022)] a novel ground state method was proposed. It has been suggested that this $i$-DMFT would be a method within one-particle reduced density matrix functional theory (DMFT), capable of describing…

Over this past decade, we combined the idea of stochastic resolution of identity with a variety of electronic structure methods. In our stochastic Kohn-Sham DFT method, the density is an average over multiple stochastic samples, with…

We investigate configuration-interaction (CI) calculations on a basis of molecular orbitals generated by preliminary density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. We use this CI/DFT framework to improve the modeling of core-excited states…

Single ion solvation free energies are one of the most important properties of electrolyte solutions and yet there is ongoing debate about what these values are. Only the values for neutral ion pairs are known. Here, we use DFT interaction…

Recent studies of core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of silicene on ZrB$_2$(0001) were found to be inconsistent with the density of states (DOS) of a planar-like structure that has been proposed as the ground state by…

We review the role of self-consistency in density functional theory. We apply a recent analysis to both Kohn-Sham and orbital-free DFT, as well as to Partition-DFT, which generalizes all aspects of standard DFT. In each case, the analysis…

Inspired by recent experimental observations of anomalously large decay lengths in concentrated electrolytes, we revisit the Restricted Primitive Model (RPM) for an aqueous electrolyte. We investigate the asymptotic decay lengths of the…

The density functional theory (DFT) is used in a study of point defects on both UN (001) surface and sub-surface layers. We compare results for slabs of different thicknesses (both perfect and containing nitrogen or uranium vacancies) with…

Density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as one of the most versatile and lucrative approaches in electronic structure calculations of many-electron systems in past four decades. Here we give an account of the development of a…

Site density functional theory (SDFT) provides a rigorous framework for statistical mechanics analysis of inhomogeneous molecular liquids. The key defining feature of these systems is the presence of two very distinct interactions scales…

Linear scaling density functional theory approaches to electronic structure are often based on the tendency of electrons to localize even in large atomic and molecular systems. However, in many cases of actual interest, for example in…

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a pivotal method within quantum chemistry and materials science, with its core involving the construction and solution of the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian. Despite its importance, the application of DFT is…

A system of electrons in a local or nonlocal external potential can be studied with 1-matrix functional theory (1MFT), which is similar to density functional theory (DFT) but takes the one-particle reduced density matrix (1-matrix) instead…

We have computed the correlated electronic structure of FeSe and its dependence on the A1g mode versus compression. Using the self-consistent density functional theory - dynamical mean field theory (DFT-DMFT) with continuous time quantum…

The exact formulation of multi-configuration density-functional theory (DFT) is discussed in this work. As an alternative to range-separated methods, where electron correlation effects are split in the coordinate space, the combination of…
