It is shown here that Kohn-Sham equations cannot be derived from Hohenberg-Kohn theory without an additional postulate. Assuming that a functional derivative with respect to total electron density exists leads in general to a theory…
The State--Specific Kohn--Sham Density Functional Theory [arXiv:physics/0506037] is used to derive the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential $\vxc$ and exchange-correlation energy $\Eco$ as explicit functionals of $v_s$ and $\phi_1$,…
The complex nature of electron-electron correlations is made manifest in the very simple but non-trivial problem of two electrons confined within a sphere. The description of highly non-local correlation and self-interaction effects by…
The dissociation of molecules, even the most simple hydrogen molecule, cannot be described accurately within density functional theory because none of the currently available functionals accounts for strong on-site correlation. This problem…
Based on the Schrodinger equation, exact expressions for the non-relativistic particle energy in the local external field and the external field potential are derived as inhomogeneous density functionals. On this basis, it is shown that,…
We present a general approach for the construction of the exact local-energy-density functionals for a uniform N-dimensional electronic system in a magnetic field. For arbitrary dimension, we obtain explicit expressions for the matter,…
In a recent paper [Phys.~Rev.~A {\bf 89}, 022503 (2014)], the average density approximation (ADA) was implemented to develop a parameter-free, nonlocal kinetic energy functional to be used in the orbital-free density-functional theory of an…
In approximate Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, self-interaction manifests itself as the dependence of the energy of an orbital on its fractional occupation. This unphysical behavior translates into qualitative and quantitative errors…
The exact form of the kinetic energy functional has remained elusive in orbital-free models of density functional theory (DFT). This has been the main stumbling block for the development of a general-purpose framework on this basis. Here,…
Given the time-evolution of an electron charge density, the local potential in Kohn-Sham time-dependent density functional theory (KS-TDDFT) can be modeled as a sum of instantaneous and dynamic contributions by assuming a certain form of…
The average-density approximation is used to construct a nonlocal kinetic energy functional for an inhomogeneous two-dimensional Fermi gas. This functional is then used to formulate a Thomas-Fermi von Weizs\"acker-like theory for the…
The first order gradient correction to the Thomas-Fermi functional, proposed by Haq, Chattaraj and Deb (Chem. Phys. Lett. vol. 81, 8031, 1984) has been studied by evaluating both the total kinetic energy and the local kinetic energy…
An accurate expression of the kinetic energy density of an electronic distribution in terms of the single particle reduced density matrix for atomic and molecular systems is a long-standing problem in electron structure theory. Existing…
For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) owing to its low computational cost. However, the exact KS potential can be challenging to approximate, for…
We calculate the exact Kohn-Sham potential that describes, within time-dependent density-functional theory, the propagation of an electron quasiparticle wavepacket of non-zero crystal momentum added to a ground-state model semiconductor.…
The relation between the derivative of the energy with respect to occupation number and the orbital energy, $\partial E/\partial n_i = \epsilon_i$, was first introduced by Slater for approximate total energy expressions such as Hartree-Fock…
We introduce a new functional for simulating ground-state and time-dependent electronic systems within density-functional theory. The functional combines an expression for the exact Kohn-Sham (KS) potential in the limit of complete electron…
This article generalizes the notion of the local density of a many-body system to introduce collective coordinates as explicit degrees of freedom. It is shown that the energy of the system can be expressed as a functional of this object.…
One-electron self-interaction and an incorrect asymptotic behavior of the Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation potential are among the most prominent limitations of many present-day density functionals. However, a one-electron…
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…
