Kohn-Sham potentials definition

Instead of supposing there to be a single Kohn-Sham potential, one can think of it as a vector in Fock space. For each sheet ft = N of the latter, there is a component vKS(r,N) and a corresponding set of Kohn-Sham equations. Density functional theory and Kohn-Sham theory hold separately on each sheet. Ensemble-average properties are then composed of weighted contributions from each sheet, computable sheet by sheet via the techniques of DFT and the KS equations. Nevertheless, though completely valid, this procedure would yield for the reactivity indices f(r), s(r), and S the results already obtained directly from Eqs. (28). We are left without proper definitions of chemical-reactivity indices for systems with discrete spectra at T = 0 [43]. 

Let us assume for a moment that Vg, the total Kohn-Sham potential, is known [16,17,62]. This allows the definition of a noninteracting A -particle... 

If we now insert the definition of the Kohn-Sham potential, (see 4.31), and note that /d2rn(r,t)VuHartree( ) = 0, we obtain the condition... 

This latter quantity can be calculated explicitly from the definition of the Kohn-Sham potential... 

The reader should note that no restrictions were placed on the form of the density expansion Eq. (3.26) in particular there is no limit on the number of terms. As already noted, therefore Eqs. (3.29) are not conventional Kohn-Sham equations. Rather they are an exact one-particle form of the Hohenberg-Kohn variation procedure and use Hohenberg-Kohn potentials in the definition of the...

In the next section we shall recall the definitions of the chemical concepts relevant to this paper in the framework of DFT. In Section 3 we briefly review Strutinsky s averaging procedure and its formulation in the extended Kohn-Sham (EKS) scheme. The following section is devoted to the presentation and discussion of our results for the residual, shell-structure part of the ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, and chemical hardness for the series of atoms from B to Ca. The last section will present some conclusions. 

The method of electronegativity equalization is used to fix the charges, with Mulliken definition of electronegativity. This is related by Parr [175] to the chemical potential of an electron gas, using Kohn-Sham approximation in the framework of density functional theory. Hence, electronegativity equalization corresponds to equating chemical potentials.

By exchange, we mean the density functional definition of exchange, in which the wavefunction is a Slater determinant whose density is the exact density of the interacting system, and which minimizes the energy of the non-interacting system in the Kohn-Sham external potential, iv,a=o- Another useful concept is the pair distribution function, defined as[14]... 

Solving Eq. (21) and using the definition (16) it is thus possible to compute the density pg " from a given potential Vs- As stated by the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem it is also possible to construct a potential from a given density p many of these inverse Kohn-Sham schemes are avail-able.5 ... 

Excitation energies can also be calculated from excited-state densities. A mapping between excited-state densities and the external potential, and a Kohn-Sham-like scheme for calculating the density and energy of a specific excited state of interest have been constructed, but the definition of a proper Kohn-Sham procedure is not trivial. ...
