The dynamical, long-wavelength longitudinal and transverse exchange-correlation potentials for a homogeneous electron gas are evaluated in a microscopic model based on an approximate decoupling of the equation of motion for the…
The quantum hydrodynamic theory is a promising method for describing microscopic details of macroscopic systems. The hydrodynamic equation can be directly obtained from a single particle Kohn-Sham equation that includes the contribution of…
Recently, time-dependent current-density functional theory has been extended to include the dynamical interaction of quantum systems with external environments [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98}, 226403 (2007)]. Here we show that such a theory…
A spin-current density-functional theory (SCDFT) is introduced, which takes into account currents of the spin-density and thus currents of the magnetization in addition to the electron density, the non-collinear spin-density, and the…
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 have performed self-consistent calculations for first and second row atoms using a variant of density-functional theory, the optimized effective potential method, with an approximation due to Krieger, Li and Iafrate and a…
The subject of this study is the exchange-correlation-energy functional of reduced density matrix functional theory. Approximations of this functional are tested by applying them to the homogeneous electron gas. We find that two…
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…
State-of-the-art simulation tools for non-equilibrium quantum transport systems typically take the current-carrier occupations to be described in terms of equilibrium distribution functions characterised by two different electro-chemical…
We discuss energy densities in the strong-interaction limit of density functional theory, deriving an exact expression within the definition (gauge) of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. Exact results for small…
We present a density difference based analysis for a range of orbital--dependent Kohn--Sham functionals. Results for atoms, some members of the neon isoelectronic series and small molecules are reported and compared with ab initio…
A density-functional theory is developed based on the Maxwell--Schr\"odinger equation with an internal magnetic field in addition to the external electromagnetic potentials. The basic variables of this theory are the electron density and…
The alternative separation of exchange and correlation energies proposed by Toulouse et al. [Theor. Chem. Acc. 114, 305 (2005)] is explored in the context of multi-configuration range-separated density-functional theory. The new…
Within Current Density Functional Theory, we have studied a quantum dot made of 210 electrons confined in a disk geometry. The ground state of this large dot exhibits some features as a function of the magnetic field (B) that can be…
The independent atom ansatz of density functional theory yields an accurate analytical expression for dynamic correlation energy in the H$_{2}$ molecule: $E_{c} = 0.5(1 - \sqrt{2})(ab|ba)$ for the atom-additive self-consistent density $\rho…
Specific matrix elements of exchange and correlation kernels in time-dependent density-functional theory are computed. The knowledge of these matrix elements not only constraints approximate time-dependent functionals, but also allows to…
Electronegativity is shown to control charge transfer, energy level alignments, and electron currents in single molecule tunnel junctions, all of which are governed by correlations contained within the density matrix. This is demonstrated…
We present here novel insight into exchange-correlation functionals in density functional theory, based on the viewpoint of optimal transport. We show that in the case of two electrons and in the semiclassical limit, the exact…
We derive an equation for the cooling dynamics of the quantum motion of an atom trapped by an external potential inside an optical resonator. This equation has broad validity and allows us to identify novel regimes where the motion can be…
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.…
