Addressing Ill-conditioning in Density Functional Theory for Reliable Machine Learning

L. Arnstein, J. Wetherell, R. Lawrence +2

In principle, machine learning (ML) can be used to obtain any electronic property of a many-body system from its electron density within density functional theory. However, some ph…

Machine learning the derivative discontinuity of density-functional theory

Johannes Gedeon, Jonathan Schmidt, Matthew J. P. Hodgson +3

Machine learning is a powerful tool to design accurate, highly non-local, exchange-correlation functionals for density functional theory. So far, most of those machine learned func…

Exact expressions for the height of the interatomic step in the exchange-correlation potential from the derivative discontinuity of the energy

M. J. P. Hodgson

Popular approximations to the exchange-correlation (xc) energy of density functional theory do not yield the spatial `step' structures in the exact xc potential which are necessary…

Exact exchange-correlation potentials for calculating the fundamental gap with a fixed number of electrons

M. J. P. Hodgson, J. Wetherell, Emmanuel Fromager

Capturing the discontinuous shift by in the exact exchange-correlation (xc) potential is the standard proposal for calculating the fundamental gap, , from the Koh…

From Kohn-Sham to many-electron energies via step structures in the exchange-correlation potential

Eli Kraisler, M. J. P. Hodgson, E. K. U. Gross

Accurately describing excited states within Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT), particularly those which induce ionization and charge transfer, remains a great challeng…

Improving the exchange and correlation potential in density functional approximations through constraints

Timothy J. Callow, Benjamin J. Pearce, Tom Pitts +3

We review and expand on our work to impose constraints on the effective Kohn Sham (KS) potential of local and semi-local density functional approximations. In this work, we relax a…

Accurate real-time evolution of electron densities and ground-state properties from generalized Kohn-Sham theory

M. J. P. Hodgson, J. Wetherell

The exact static and time-dependent Kohn-Sham (KS) exchange-correlation (xc) potential is extremely challenging to approximate as it is a local multiplicative potential that depend…

Advantageous nearsightedness of many-body perturbation theory contrasted with Kohn-Sham density functional theory

Jack Wetherell, Matthew Hodgson, Leopold Talirz +1

For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) owing to its low computational cost. However, the e…

Accuracy of electron densities obtained via Koopmans-compliant hybrid functionals

A. R. Elmaslmane, Jack Wetherell, M. J. P. Hodgson +2

We evaluate the accuracy of electron densities and quasiparticle energy gaps given by hybrid functionals by directly comparing these to the exact quantities obtained from solving t…

self-screening error and its correction using a local density functional

Jack Wetherell, Matthew Hodgson, Rex Godby

The self-screening error in electronic structure theory is the part of the self-interaction error that would remain within the approximation if the exact dynamically screened…

How is the derivative discontinuity related to steps in the exact Kohn-Sham potential?

M. J. P. Hodgson, E. Kraisler, E. K. U. Gross

The reliability of density-functional calculations hinges on accurately approximating the unknown exchange-correlation (xc) potential. Common (semi-)local xc approximations lack th…

Origin of static and dynamic steps in exact Kohn-Sham potentials

M. J. P. Hodgson, J. D. Ramsden, R. W. Godby

Knowledge of exact properties of the exchange-correlation (xc) functional is important for improving the approximations made within density functional theory. Features such as step…

Electron localisation in static and time-dependent one-dimensional model systems

T. R. Durrant, M. J. P. Hodgson, J. D. Ramsden +1

Electron localization is the tendency of an electron in a many-body system to exclude other electrons from its vicinity. Using a new natural measure of localization based on the ex…

The role of electron localization in density functionals

M. J. P. Hodgson, J. D. Ramsden, T. R. Durrant +1

We introduce a new functional for simulating ground-state and time-dependent electronic systems within density-functional theory. The functional combines an expression for the exac…
