Excited States from Quasiparticle Hamiltonian Based on Density Functional Theory

Yang Shen, Yichen Fan, Weitao Yang

Recent advances in occupancy extrapolation (OE) show that potential of orbital-occupation based energy functions can describe electronic excitations. Here, the OE method in the par…

Occupancy Extrapolation: Reaching Many Excited Electronic States from Ground State Calculations

Yichen Fan, Weitao Yang

The SCF DFT approach defines the system energy as a function of orbital occupancy. Inspired by Landau Fermi liquid theory, we develop an occupancy extrapolation (OE) method that…

olLOSC: Unified and efficient density functional approximation to correct delocalization error in molecules and periodic materials

Yichen Fan, Jacob Z. Williams, Weitao Yang

Density functional theory (DFT) is the most promising method for calculating quantum properties of molecules and materials at moderate and large scales. However, commonly used dens…

Velocity Gauge for Oscillator Strength in SCF theory

Yang Shen, Yichen Fan, Weitao Yang

Delta self-consistent-field (SCF) theory is widely used for electronic excitation energy calculations. However, calculating the corresponding oscillator strengths is challenging…

Orbital Energies Are Chemical Potentials in Ground-State Density Functional Theory and Excited-State SCF Theory

Weitao Yang, Yichen Fan

We prove the general chemical potential theorem: the noninteracting one-electron orbital energies in DFT ground states and SCF excited states are corresponding chemical potentia…

Fractional Charges, Linear Conditions and Chemical Potentials for Excited States in Theory

Weitao Yang, Yichen Fan

To describe excited states, the electron density alone being insufficient, we use the noninteracting reference density matrix based on the recently establ…
