Kohn Sham density matrices

In this scenario, diabatic states can be generated with FDE by performing at least two simulations, one featuring a hole/electron on the donor while the acceptor is neutral and one calculation in which the charge hole/electron is on the acceptor. The result is two charge localized states, whose, densities and Kohn-Sham orbitals are used in a later step in order to build the diabatic Hamiltonian and overlap matrices, needed to compute the diabatic coupling matrix element. 

This step is similar to what we have done in equation (7-7) where we obtained the matrix representation of the Kohn-Sham operator. If we insert expression (7-14) for the charge density in terms of the LCAO functions and make use of the density matrix P defined in equation (7-15), we arrive at... 

The variational procedure in Eq. (100) is in the spirit of the Kohn-Sham ansatz. Since satisfies the (g, K) conditions, it is A-representable. In general, Pij ig corresponds to many different A-electron ensembles and one of them,, corresponds to the ground state of interest. However, for computational expediency in computing the energy, a Slater determinantal density matrix,... 

Z is the nuclear charge, R-r is the distance between the nucleus and the electron, P is the density matrix (equation 16) and (qv Zo) are two-electron integrals (equation 17). f is an exchange/correlation functional, which depends on the electron density and perhaps as well the gradient of the density. Minimizing E with respect to the unknown orbital coefficients yields a set of matrix equations, the Kohn-Sham equations , analogous to the Roothaan-Hall equations (equation 11).

The two-electron reduced density matrix is a considerably simpler quantity than the N-electron wavefunction and again, if the A -representability problem could be solved in a simple and systematic manner the two-matrix would offer possibilities for accurate treatment of very large systems. The natural expansion may be compared in form to the expansion of the electron density in terms of Kohn-Sham spin orbitals and it raises the question of the connection between the spin orbital space and the -electron space when working with reduced quantities, such as density matrices and the electron density. 

The first derivative of the density matrix with respect to the magnetic induction (dPfiv/dBi) is obtained by solving the coupled-perturbed Hartree-Fock (or Kohn-Sham) equations to which the first derivative of the effective Fock (or Kohn-Sham) operator with respect to the magnetic induction contributes. Due to the use of GIAOs, specific corrections arising from the effective operator Hcnv describing the environment effects will appear. We refer to Ref. [28] for the PCM model and to Ref. [29] for the DPM within either a HF or DFT description of the solute molecule. 

Since DFT has essentially the same mean-field formalism as the HF theory and share much the same computational algorithm, it is not surprising that it has the excited-state counterparts corresponding to TDHF and CIS. They—TDDFT [83-88] and Tamm-Dancoff TDDFT [89], respectively - can be derived analogously to Section 2.2.1 with the only differences being in the definitions of the operator (now called the Kohn-Sham or KS Hamiltonian) and its derivative with respect to the density matrix [see Eq. (2-7)]. The latter is... 

In this section we are going to develop a different approach to the calculation of excitation energies which is based on TDDFT [69, 84, 152]. Similar ideas were recently proposed by Casida [223] on the basis of the one-particle density matrix. To extract excitation energies from TDDFT we exploit the fact that the frequency-dependent linear density response of a finite system has discrete poles at the excitation energies of the unperturbed system. The idea is to use the formally exact representation (156) of the linear density response n j (r, cu), to calculate the shift of the Kohn-Sham orbital energy differences coj (which are the poles of the Kohn-Sham response function) towards the true excitation energies Sl in a systematic fashion. 

This suggests a method for introducing electron correlations based on the density matrix, which was taken up by Hohenberg and Kohn (1964) and Kohn and Sham (1965), but which had its roots in much earlier work (Thomas, 1927 Fermi, 1928 Slater, 1928, 1951 and several papers in between). The method is now called density functional theory.
