Exchange-Correlation Potentials and Energy Densities through Orbital Averaging and Aufbau Integration
Vaibhav Khanna, Bikash Kanungo, Jeffrey Hatch +2
Exchange-correlation potentials vxc and energy densities exc are derived for integer and fractional electron counts using an orbital-averaged Kohn-Sham inversion procedure. The ref…

Learning local and semi-local density functionals from exact exchange-correlation potentials and energies
Bikash Kanungo, Jeffrey Hatch, Paul M. Zimmerman +1
Finding accurate exchange-correlation (XC) functionals remains the defining challenge in density functional theory (DFT). Despite 40 years of active development, the desired chemic…

Accelerating inverse Kohn-Sham calculations using reduced density matrices
Bikash Kanungo, Soumi Tribedi, Paul M. Zimmerman +1
The Ryabinkin-Kohut-Staroverov (RKS) and Kanungo-Zimmerman-Gavini (KZG) methods offer two approaches to find exchange-correlation (XC) potentials from ground state densities. The R…
