Basis Functions for Time-Dependent Kohn-Sham Inversion

Paul M. Zimmerman, Joshua Kammeraad, Duy-Khoi Dang +1

Floquet theory provides insight into the inversion of time-dependent Kohn-Sham density functional theory. Specifically, mathematical derivations show that the fundamental frequenci…

XC100: A Wavefunction-Derived Exchange-Correlation Energy Dataset for Atomic and Molecular Species

Vaibhav Khanna, Paul M. Zimmerman

A workflow is introduced for constructing accurate, wavefunction-derived Kohn-Sham (KS) exchange-correlation (XC) energies across atomic and molecular species. Correlated total ene…

Exchange-Correlation Potentials and Energies from Inverse Generalized Kohn-Sham Calculations

Vishal Subramanian, Bikash Kanungo, Vaibhav Khanna +2

The Kohn-Sham (KS) formulation of density functional theory (DFT) is a map from the many-electron problem to an effective single-electron problem that is governed by a local multip…

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…

Examining the Impact of Local Condition Violations on Energy Computations in DFT

Vaibhav Khanna, Bikash Kanungo, Vikram Gavini +2

This work introduces Extent of Violation Indices (EVIs), a novel metric for quantifying how well exchange-correlation functionals adhere to local conditions. Applying EVIs to a div…
