Beyond the Local Density Approximation

It was a major breakthrough when it was realized, in the early 1980s, that instead of power-series-hke systematic gradient expansions one could experiment with more general functions of p r) and Vp r), which need not proceed order by order. Such functionals, of the general form [Pg.241]

The semiempirical functionals are fitted to selected data from experiment or from the ab-initio calculations. The higher the rung of the functional the larger is the number of parameters (functionals with as many as 21 fit parameters are popular in chemistry). Is DFT ab-initio or semiempirical As was suggested in [357] it can fall in between as a nonempirical theory when the functionals are constructed without empirical fitting. [Pg.241]

The best nonempirical functional for a given rung is constructed to satisfy as many exact theoretical constraints as possible while providing satisfactory numerical predictions for real systems [357]. Once a rung has been selected, there remains little choice about which constraints to satisfy (but greater freedom in how to satisfy them), [357]. Accuracy is expected to increase up the ladder of rungs as additional local ingredients enable the satisfaction of additional constraints. A short summary of [Pg.241]

According to many authors (e.g. Handy, 1993), the local density approximation (LDA) is not adequate for useful predictions in computational chemistry. [Pg.225]

A very difficult challenge is the increase in accuracy. The melting of silicon discussed above shows rather dramatically the enormous demands on a theory to predict the temperatures of phase transitions. It is not clear at the moment how such a high accuracy could be achieved. Improvements beyond the local density approximations such as gradient corrections have been a step forward. However, the lack of a systematic approach towards the exact limit is discouraging. Possibly quantum Monte Carlo holds the promise for such a systematic approach. [Pg.1578]
