Beyond the Coulson-Fischer point: Characterizing single excitation CI and TDDFT for excited states in single bond dissociations
Diptarka Hait, Adam Rettig, Martin Head-Gordon
Linear response time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), which builds upon configuration interaction singles (CIS) and TD-Hartree-Fock (TDHF), is the most widely used clas…
Even Faster Exact Exchange for Solids via Tensor Hypercontraction
Adam Rettig, Joonho Lee, Martin Head-Gordon
Hybrid density functional theory (DFT) remains intractable for large periodic systems due to the demanding computational cost of exact exchange. We apply the tensor hypercontractio…
Gaussian-Based Periodic Grand Canonical Density Functional Theory with Implicit Solvation for Computational Electrochemistry
Anton Z. Ni, Adam Rettig, Joonho Lee
We present a numerical method for grand canonical density functional theory (DFT) tailored to solid-state systems, employing Gaussian-type orbitals as the primary basis. Our approa…
Well-behaved versus ill-behaved density functionals for single bond dissociation: Separating success from disaster functional by functional for stretched H
Diptarka Hait, Adam Rettig, Martin Head-Gordon
Unrestricted DFT methods are typically expected to describe the homolytic dissociation of nonpolar single bonds in neutral species with qualitative accuracy, due to the lack of sig…
Faster Exact Exchange for Solids via occ-RI-K: Application to Combinatorially Optimized Range-Separated Hybrid Functionals for Simple Solids with Pseudopotentials Near the Basis Set Limit
Joonho Lee, Adam Rettig, Xintian Feng +2
In this work, we developed and showcased the occ-RI-K algorithm to compute the exact exchange contribution in density functional calculations of solids near the basis set limit. Wi…
Ab Initio Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo in the Thermodynamic Limit
Jinghong Zhang, Meng-Fu Chen, Adam Rettig +5
Ab initio auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) is a systematically improvable many-body method, but its application to extended solids has been severely limited by unfavorab…
Regularized Perturbation Theory for Ab initio Solids
Meng-Fu Chen, Jinghong Zhang, Hieu Q. Dinh +2
Second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) for ab initio simulations of solids is often limited by divergence or over-correlation issues, particularly in metallic, narro…
Efficient All-Electron Periodic Fourier-Transformed Coulomb Method
Hieu Q. Dinh, Adam Rettig, Xintian Feng +1
We present an efficient algorithm for the all-electron periodic Coulomb matrix based on the Ewald summation combined with the Fourier-transformed Coulomb method. The short-range co…
Third order Møller-Plesset theory made more useful? The role of density functional theory orbitals
Adam Rettig, Diptarka Hait, Luke W. Bertels +1
The practical utility of Møller-Plesset (MP) perturbation theory is severely constrained by the use of Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals. It has recently been shown that use of regulariz…
Chemical Origins of Non-Bonded Interactions Within and Between Solids
Paul J. Robinson, Adam Rettig, Hieu Q. Dinh +2
Non-bonded interactions govern structure, stability, and function across a wide range of solid-state materials, yet their chemical origins are often difficult to resolve from total…
Condensed-Phase Quantum Chemistry
Paul J. Robinson, Adam Rettig, Hieu Q. Dinh +2
Molecular quantum chemistry has seen enormous progress in the last few decades thanks to the more advanced and sophisticated numerical techniques and computing power. Following the…
A New View on Density Corrected DFT: Can One Get a Better Answer for a Good Reason?
Devin J. Hernandez, Adam Rettig, Martin Head-Gordon
Despite its widespread use, density functional theory (DFT) has several notable areas of failure; perhaps the most well-studied of these failures is self-interaction error (SIE). D…
