Capturing thermal effects beyond the zero-temperature approximation using the uniform electron gas
Brianna Aguilar-Solis, Brittany P. Harding, Aurora Pribram-Jones
Density functional theory at finite temperatures often relies on the zero-temperature approximation, which uses a ground-state exchange-correlation functional with thermalized dens…

Two-legged approximation for building non-empirical hybrids and analyzing correlation at finite temperature
Brittany P. Harding, Francisca Sagredo, Vincent Martinetto +1
Warm dense matter is a highly energetic phase characterized by strong correlations, thermal effects, and quantum effects of electrons. Thermal density functional theory is commonly…
