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.…

Using a set of oscillator strengths and excited-state dipole moments of near full configuration interaction (FCI) quality determined for small compounds, we benchmark the performances of several single-reference wave function methods (CC2,…

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…

Imaginary-time time-dependent Density functional theory (it-TDDFT) has been proposed as an alternative method for obtaining the ground state within density functional theory (DFT) which avoids some of the difficulties with convergence…

Accurate first-principles calculations for the energies, charge distributions, and spin symmetries of many-electron systems are essential to understand and predict the electronic and structural properties of molecules and materials.…

We propose a way to improve energy density functionals (EDFs) in the density functional theory based on the combination of the inverse Kohn--Sham method and the density functional perturbation theory. Difference between the known EDF and…

We present an accurate, efficient and massively parallel finite-element code, DFT-FE, for large-scale ab-initio calculations (reaching $\sim 100,000$ electrons) using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). DFT-FE is based on a local…

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…

Range-separated hybrid functionals (RSH) with ``ionization energy'' and/or ``optimal tuning'' of the screening parameter have proven to be among the most practical and accurate approaches for describing excited-state properties across a…

This paper presents the first implementation of a coupling between advanced wave function theories and molecular density functional theory (MDFT). This method enables the modeling of solvent effect into quantum mechanical (QM) calculations…

Noncollinear (NC) magnetism and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are indispensable for predictive ab initio materials simulations with pronounced relativistic effects and magnetic frustration, yet they significantly increase the cost of…

Ensemble density functional theory (eDFT) is an exact time-independent alternative to time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) for the calculation of excitation energies. Despite its formal simplicity and advantages in contrast to TD-DFT (multiple…

The computational investigation of photochemical processes often entails the calculation of excited state geometries, energies, and energy gradients. The nuclear-electronic orbital (NEO) approach treats specified nuclei, typically protons,…

We investigate the source of error in the Thomas-Fermi-von Weizs\"acker (TFW) density functional relative to Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). In particular, through numerical studies on a range of materials, for a variety of…

Two-component linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) provides a unified framework that encompasses noncollinear excitations in noncollinear reference states, as well as both spin-conserving and spin-flip…

We present a Density Functional Theory (DFT) study of the structural and electronic properties of bare rutile VO$_{2}$(110) surfaces and its oxygen-rich terminations. We discuss the performance of various DFT functionals, including PBE,…

Perdew et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett 49, 1691 (1982)] discovered and proved two different properties of exact Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT): (i) The exact total energy versus particle number is a series of linear segments between…

The excitation energies and ionization potentials of the atoms in the first transition series are notoriously difficult to compute accurately. Errors in calculated excitation energies can range from 1--4 eV at the Hartree-Fock level, and…

Modern density functional theory (DFT) calculations employ the Kohn-Sham (KS) system of non-interacting electrons as a reference, with all complications buried in the exchange-correlation energy (Exc). The adiabatic connection formula gives…
