Exact Conditions for Ensemble Density Functional Theory

Thais R. Scott, John Kozlowski, Steven Crisostomo +2

Ensemble density functional theory (EDFT) is a promising alternative to time-dependent density functional theory for computing electronic excitation energies. Using coordinate scal…

Møller-Plesset and density-fixed adiabatic connections for a model diatomic system at different correlation regimes

Sara Giarrusso, Aurora Pribram-Jones

In recent years, Adiabatic Connection Interpolations developed within Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been found to provide satisfactory performances in the calculation of int…

Comparing correlation components and approximations in Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham theories via an analytical test case study

Sara Giarrusso, Aurora Pribram-Jones

The asymmetric Hubbard dimer is a model that allows for explicit expressions of the Hartree-Fock (HF) and Kohn-Sham (KS) states as analytical functions of the external potential, $…

Direct extraction of excitation energies from ensemble density-functional theory

Zeng-hui Yang, Aurora Pribram-Jones, Kieron Burke +1

A very specific ensemble of ground and excited states is shown to yield an exact formula for any excitation energy as a simple correction to the energy difference between orbitals…

Exact conditions on the temperature dependence of density functionals

Kieron Burke, Justin C. Smith, Paul E. Grabowski +1

Universal exact conditions guided the construction of most ground-state density functional approximations in use today. We derive the relation between the entropy and Mermin free e…

Exact thermal density functional theory for a model system: Correlation components and accuracy of the zero-temperature exchange-correlation approximation

Justin C Smith, Aurora Pribram-Jones, Kieron Burke

Thermal density functional theory calculations often use the Mermin-Kohn-Sham scheme, but employ ground-state approximations to the exchange-correlation (XC) free energy. In the si…

Thermal density functional theory: Time-dependent linear response and approximate functionals from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem

Aurora Pribram-Jones, Paul E. Grabowski, Kieron Burke

The van Leeuwen proof of linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is generalized to thermal ensembles. This allows generalization to finite temperatures of…

Connection formulas for thermal density functional theory

Aurora Pribram-Jones, Kieron Burke

The adiabatic connection formula of ground-state density functional theory relates the correlation energy to a coupling-constant integral over a purely potential contribution, and…

DFT: A Theory Full of Holes?

Aurora Pribram-Jones, David A. Gross, Kieron Burke

This article is a rough, quirky overview of both the history and present state of the art of density functional theory. The field is so huge that no attempt to be comprehensive is…
