Roadmap on Advancements of the FHI-aims Software Package

Joseph W. Abbott, Carlos Mera Acosta, Alaa Akkoush +203

Electronic-structure theory is the foundation of the description of materials including multiscale modeling of their properties and functions. Obviously, without sufficient accurac…

Coupled-cluster theory for the ground state and for excitations

Andreas Grüneis, Evgeny Moerman, Matthias Scheffler +2

In the molecular quantum chemistry community, coupled-cluster (CC) methods are well-recognized for their systematic convergence and reliability. The extension of the theory to exte…

Self-interaction corrected SCAN functional for molecules and solids in the numeric atom-center orbital framework

Sheng Bi, Christian Carbogno, Igor Ying Zhang +1

Semilocal density-functional approximations (DFAs), including the state-of-the-art SCAN functional, are plagued by the self-interaction error (SIE). While this error is explicitly…

Improving XYG3-type Doubly Hybrid Approximation using Self-Interaction Corrected SCAN Density and Orbitals via the PZ-SIC Framework: the xDH@SCAN(SIC) Approach

Sheng Bi, Shirong Wang, Igor Ying Zhang +1

XYG3-type doubly hybrid approximations (xDH) have gained a widespread recognition for their accuracy in describing a diverse range of chemical and physical interactions. However, a…

Developing correlation-consistent numeric atom-centered orbital basis sets for Krypton: Applications in RPA-based correlated calculations

Sixian Yang, Igor Ying Zhang, Xinguo Ren

Localized atomic orbitals are the preferred basis-set choice for large-scale explicit correlated calculations, and high-quality hierarchical correlation-consistent basis sets are a…

Introduction to the Fifth-rung Density Functional Approximations: Concept, Formulation, and Applications

Igor Ying Zhang, Xinguo Ren

The widespread use of (generalized) Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) lies in the fact that hierarchical sets of approximations of the exchange-correlation (XC) energy f…

Experimentally Quantifying Anion Polarizability at the Air/Water Interface

Yujin Tong, Igor Ying Zhang, R. Kramer Campen

The adsorption of anions from aqueous solution on the air/water interface controls important heterogeneous chemistry in the atmosphere and is thought to have similar physics to ani…

Towards efficient orbital-dependent density functionals for weak and strong correlation

Igor Ying Zhang, Patrick Rinke, John P. Perdew +1

We present a new paradigm for the design of exchange-correlation functionals in density-functional theory. Electron pairs are correlated explicitly by means of the recently develop…

Understanding Band Gaps of Solids in Generalized Kohn-Sham Theory

John P. Perdew, Weitao Yang, Kieron Burke +11

The fundamental energy gap of a periodic solid distinguishes insulators from metals and characterizes low-energy single-electron excitations. But the gap in the band-structure of t…

Wave-function inspired density functional applied to the H/H challenge

Igor Ying Zhang, Patrick Rinke, Matthias Scheffler

We start from the Bethe-Goldstone equation (BGE) to derive a simple orbital-dependent correlation functional -- BGE2 -- which terminates the BGE expansion at the second-order, but…
