We discuss a general approach to a realistic theory of the electronic structure in materials containing correlated d- or f- electrons. The main feature of this approach is the taking into account the energy dependence of the electron…

Local reconstruction analysis (LRA) is a powerful and flexible technique to study images reconstructed from discrete generalized Radon transform (GRT) data, $g=\mathcal R f$. The main idea of LRA is to obtain a simple formula to accurately…

We investigate the electronic structure of gap and band tail states in amorphous silicon. Starting with two 216-atom models of amorphous silicon with defect concentration close to the experiments, we systematically study the dependence of…

Local density approximation for the exchange energy is made for treatment of excited-states in density-functional theory. It is shown that taking care of the state-dependence of the LDA exchange energy functional leads to accurate…

We investigate from a practitioner's point of view the computation of the ionization potential (IP) within density functional theory (DFT). DFT with (semi-)local energy-density functionals is plagued by a self-interaction error which…

We construct and apply an exchange-correlation functional for the one-dimensional Hubbard model. This functional has built into it the Luttinger-liquid and Mott-insulator correlations, present in the Hubbard model, in the same way in which…

Density functional approximations are known to significantly overestimate the polarizabilities of long chain-like molecules. We study the static electric dipole polarizabilities and the vertical ionization potentials of polyacenes from…

We propose a self-consistent method for electronic structure calculations of correlated systems, which combines the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) and the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The LSDA part is based on the exact…

The Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed (SCAN) functional is a non-empirical meta-generalized-gradient approximation (meta-GGA) functional that satisfies all the known constraints that a meta-GGA functional can, but it also…

We discuss an extension of time-dependent density-functional theory by a self-interaction correction (SIC). A strictly variational formulation is given taking care of the necessary constraints. A manageable and transparent propagation…

We review our recently developed electronic structure calculation methods used for the dynamics of large-scale solids or liquids with an efficient algorithm for large scale simultaneous linear equations. The electronic structure calculation…

An oversight of several previous local density approximation (LDA) results appears to have led to an incomplete picture of the actual capability of density functional theory (DFT), with emphasis on LDA, to describe and to predict the band…

In the framework of density-functional theory, several popular density functionals for exchange and correlation have been constructed to satisfy a local form of the Lieb-Oxford bound. In its original global expression, the bound represents…

We discuss various ways to handle self-interaction corrections (SIC) to Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. To that end, we use a simple model of few particles in a finite number of states together with a simple zero-range…

To explore the applicability of orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) in nuclear physics, we perform a systematic benchmark of 36 one-point kinetic energy density functionals, which are originally developed for electron systems in…

We present an accurate, first-principles study of the electronic structure and absorption spectrum of bulk copper within Density Functional Theory in the Local Density Approximation (DFT-LDA), including the study of intraband transitions.…

We present a method for calculating the electronic structure of correlated materials based on a truly first-principles LDA+U scheme. Recently we suggested how to calculate U from first-principles, using a method which we named constrained…

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and cathodoluminescence (CL) are widely used experimental techniques for characterization of nanoparticles. The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) is a numerically exact method for simulating…

In the full quantum theory, the energy of a many-body quantum system with a given one-body density is described by the Levy-Lieb functional. It is exact, but very complicated to compute. For practical computations, it is useful to introduce…

An improved algorithm to evaluate the nonrelativistic three-electron Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction (Hy-CI) kinetic energy integrals over Slater orbitals and the Hamiltonian in Hylleraas coordinates is shown. The resulting analytical…
