Kohn-Sham equation, density functional theory

The calculations were based on the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (60). This equation has become a popular method for calculating the molecular properties of organic molecules. The Kohn-Sham equation is the Schrodinger equation of a system of non-interacting particles, typically electrons (61). [Pg.74]

The application of density functional theory to isolated, organic molecules is still in relative infancy compared with the use of Hartree-Fock methods. There continues to be a steady stream of publications designed to assess the performance of the various approaches to DFT. As we have discussed there is a plethora of ways in which density functional theory can be implemented with different functional forms for the basis set (Gaussians, Slater type orbitals, or numerical), different expressions for the exchange and correlation contributions within the local density approximation, different expressions for the gradient corrections and different ways to solve the Kohn-Sham equations to achieve self-consistency. This contrasts with the situation for Hartree-Fock calculations, wlrich mostly use one of a series of tried and tested Gaussian basis sets and where there is a substantial body of literature to help choose the most appropriate method for incorporating post-Hartree-Fock methods, should that be desired. [Pg.157]

Kohn-Sham equations of the density functional theory then take on the following... [Pg.174]

Since the Fock operator is a effective one-electron operator, equation (1-29) describes a system of N electrons which do not interact among themselves but experience an effective potential VHF. In other words, the Slater determinant is the exact wave function of N noninteracting particles moving in the field of the effective potential VHF.5 It will not take long before we will meet again the idea of non-interacting systems in the discussion of the Kohn-Sham approach to density functional theory. [Pg.30]

Applying the variational principle to the energy given by Eq. 1, Kohn and Sham reformulated the density functional theory by deriving a set of one-electron Hartree-like equations leading to the Kohn-Sham orbitals v().(r) involved in the calculation of p(r)15. The Kohn-Sham (KS) equations are written as follows ... [Pg.87]

The inherent problems associated with the computation of the properties of solids have been reduced by a computational technique called Density Functional Theory. This approach to the calculation of the properties of solids again stems from solid-state physics. In Hartree-Fock equations the N electrons need to be specified by 3/V variables, indicating the position of each electron in space. The density functional theory replaces these with just the electron density at a point, specified by just three variables. In the commonest formalism of the theory, due to Kohn and Sham, called the local density approximation (LDA), noninteracting electrons move in an effective potential that is described in terms of a uniform electron gas. Density functional theory is now widely used for many chemical calculations, including the stabilities and bulk properties of solids, as well as defect formation energies and configurations in materials such as silicon, GaN, and Agl. At present, the excited states of solids are not well treated in this way. [Pg.77]

Most practical electronic structure calculations using density functional theory [1] involve solving the Kohn-Sham equations [2], The only unknown quantity in a Kohn-Sham spin-density functional calculation is the exchange-correlation energy (and its functional derivative) [2]... [Pg.3]

Nonetheless, Eq. (95) is perhaps the most natural generalization of the Kohn-Sham formulation to g-density functional theory. Indeed, Ziesche s first papers on 2-density functional theory feature an algorithm based on Eq. (95), although he did not write his equations in the potential functional formulation [1, 4]. The early work of Gonis and co-workers [68, 69] is also of this form. [Pg.475]

In the Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) [16], the correlated many-electron problem is mapped into a set of coupled Schrodinger equations for each single electronic wavefunctions (o7 (r, t),j= 1, ), which yields the so-called Kohn-Sham equations (in atomic units)... [Pg.91]
