Accurate and efficient calculation of atomic forces in solids with non-self-consistent hybrid functionals

Damian Contant, Maria Hellgren

Hybrid functionals are routinely employed self-consistently within the generalized Kohn-Sham framework. The evaluation of the nonlocal Fock exchange operator makes hybrid functiona…

Atomic forces from correlation energy functionals based on the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem

Damian Contant, Maria Hellgren

We extend the capabilities of correlation energy functionals based on the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem by implementing the analytical atomic forces within t…

Self-consistent random phase approximation and optimized hybrid functionals for solids

Thomas Pitts, Damian Contant, Maria Hellgren

The random phase approximation (RPA) and the approximation share the same total energy functional but RPA is defined on a restricted domain of Green's functions determined by…

Assessing many-body methods on the potential energy surface of the (H) hydrogen dimer

Damian Contant, Michele Casula, Maria Hellgren

The anisotropic potential energy surface of the (H) dimer represents a challenging problem for many-body methods. Here, we determine the potential energy curves of five dif…

Optimized effective potential forces with the plane-wave and pseudopotential method

Damian Contant, Maria Hellgren

The optimized effective potential (OEP) approach has so far mainly been used in benchmark studies and for the evaluation of band gaps. In this work, we extend the application of th…

Strengths and limitations of the adiabatic exact-exchange kernel for total energy calculations

Maria Hellgren, Lucas Baguet

We investigate the adiabatic approximation to the exact-exchange kernel for calculating correlation energies within the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation framework of ti…
