Construction of energy density functional for arbitrary spin polarization using functional renormalization group

Abstract

We show an application of the functional-renormalization-group aided density functional theory to the homogeneous electron gas with arbitrary spin polarization, which gives the energy density functional in the local spin density approximation. The correlation energy per particle is calculated at arbitrary Wigner-Seitz radius $r_{\mathrm{s}}$ and spin polarization $\zeta$. In the high-density region, our result shows good agreement with Monte Carlo (MC) data. The agreement with MC data is better in the case of small spin polarization, while the discrepancy increases as the spin polarization increases. The magnetic properties given by our numerical results are also discussed.
