From Densities to Potentials: Benchmarking Local Exchange-Correlation Approximations

Visagan Ravindran, Clio Johnson, Neil D. Drummond +2

Using the Kohn-Sham (KS) inversion method of Hollins et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29, 04LT01 (2017)], we invert densities from variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (Q…

Local Exchange-Correlation Potentials by Density Inversion in Solids

Visagan Ravindran, Nikitas I. Gidopoulos, Stewart J. Clark

Following Hollins et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29, 04LT01 (2017)], we invert the electronic ground state densities for various semiconducting and insulating solids calculated…

Effective local potentials for density and density-matrix functional approximations with non-negative screening density

Thomas C. Pitts, Sofia Bousiadi, Nikitas I. Gidopoulos +1

A way to improve the accuracy of the spectral properties in density functional theory (DFT) is to impose constraints on the effective, Kohn-Sham (KS), local potential [J. Chem. Phy…

First-principles calculations of magnetic states in pyrochlores using a source-corrected exchange and correlation functional

Z. Hawkhead, N. Gidopoulos, S. J. Blundell +2

We present a first-principles investigation of the spin-ice state in DyTiO using a magnetic source-free exchange and correlation functional, implemented in the Castep e…

Generalised Kohn-Sham equations with accurate total energy and single-particle eigenvalue spectrum

Thomas C. Pitts, Nektarios N. Lathiotakis, Nikitas I. Gidopoulos

We propose a new generalised Kohn-Sham or constrained hybrid method, where the exchange potential is the (equally weighted) average of the nonlocal Fock exchange term and the self-…

Enhanced electron-phonon coupling near an electronic quantum phase transition

Nikitas I. Gidopoulos

I construct a simple model to demonstrate that when the many-electron quantum state of a material is near a quantum phase transition and the vibrational motion of a phonon explores…
