We propose a new method of calculating electronically excited states that combines a density functional theory (DFT) based ground state calculation with a linear response treatment that employs approximations used in the time-dependent…

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…

The success of descriptor-based material design relies on eliminating bad candidates and keeping good candidates for further investigation. While DFT has been widely successfully for the former, often times good candidates are lost due to…

State-specific orbital optimized approaches are more accurate at predicting core-level spectra than traditional linear-response protocols, but their utility had been restricted on account of the risk of `variational collapse' down to the…

We report quasiparticle-energy calculations of the electronic bandstructure as measured by valence-band photoemission for selected II-VI compounds and group-III-nitrides. By applying GW as perturbation to the ground state of the fictitious,…

Static electric response properties of atoms and molecules are reported within the real-space Cartesian grid implementation of pseudopotential Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT). A detailed systematic investigation is made for a…

Hybrid functionals' non-local exchange-correlation potential contains a derivative discontinuity that improves on standard semi-local density functional theory (DFT) band gaps. Moreover, by careful parameterization, hybrid functionals can…

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…

Practical density functional theory (DFT) owes its success to the groundbreaking work of Kohn and Sham that introduced the exact calculation of the non-interacting kinetic energy of the electrons using an auxiliary mean-field system.…

In nuclear physics, Density Functional Theory (DFT) provides the basis for state-of-the art studies of ground-state properties of heavy nuclei. However, the direct relation of the density functional underlying these calculations and the…

We perform a critical assessment of the accuracy of DFT-based methods in predicting stable phases within the Co-Pt binary alloy. Statistical mechanical analysis applied to zero kelvin DFT predictions yields finite-temperature results that…

The $GW$ approximation is a well-established method for calculating ionization potentials and electron affinities in solids and molecules. For numerous years, obtaining self-consistent $GW$ total energies in solids has been a challenging…

The $\Delta$-Self-Consistent-Field ($\Delta$SCF) method permits calculations of core electron binding energies in materials and molecules at a modest computational cost. However, it has been reported that whilst this method works well for…

Electron-phonon interactions are of great importance to a variety of physical phenomena, and their accurate description is an important goal for first-principles calculations. Isolated examples of materials and molecular systems have…

We develop a new density functional theory (DFT) and formalism for correlated electron systems by taking as reference an interacting electron system that has a ground state wavefunction which obeys exactly the Gutzwiller approximation for…

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 combine the single site dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) with the non-local GW method. This is done fully self-consistently and we apply our formalism to a one-band Hubbard model. Eventually at self-consistency the full self-energy and…

This chapter provides a basic introduction to excited-state extensions of density functional theory (DFT), including time-dependent (TD-)DFT in both its linear-response and its explicitly time-dependent formulations. As applied to the…

We calculate single-particle excitation energies for a series of 33 molecules using fully selfconsistent GW, one-shot G$_0$W$_0$, Hartree-Fock (HF), and hybrid density functional theory (DFT). All calculations are performed within the…

A general set of methods is presented for calculating chemical potentials in solid and liquid mixtures using {\em ab initio} techniques based on density functional theory (DFT). The methods are designed to give an {\em ab initio} approach…
