Energies of Organic Molecules and Atoms in Density Functional Theory
In the assessment of density functional approximations for the exchangecorrelation energy, great weight is usually given to the accuracy of molecular atomization energies, or the enthalpies of formation constructed from calculated atomization energies. Here we show that a recent non-empirical functional, the meta-generalized gradient approximation of Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria, achie...
متن کاملExcitation energies from density functional perturbation theory
We consider two perturbative schemes to calculate excitation energies, each employing the Kohn– Sham Hamiltonian as the unperturbed system. Using accurate exchange-correlation potentials generated from essentially exact densities and their exchange components determined by a recently proposed method, we evaluate energy differences between the ground state and excited states in first-order pertu...
متن کاملDensity functional theory and Bader's atoms-in-molecules theory: towards a vivid dialogue.
Density functional theory and Bader's atoms-in-molecules theory share the same primary ingredient: the electron density, which is the fundamental physical observable in quantum chemistry. In this paper, we elaborate on the decomposition of the Kohn-Sham molecular energy in terms of Bader's partition, discussing how Pendás' Interacting Quantum Atoms framework could be adapted to a DFT context. B...
متن کاملMagnetic exchange couplings from noncollinear spin density functional perturbation theory.
We propose a method for the evaluation of magnetic exchange couplings based on noncollinear spin density functional calculations. The method employs the second derivative of the total Kohn-Sham energy of a single reference state, in contrast to approximations based on Kohn-Sham total energy differences. The advantage of our approach is twofold: It provides a physically motivated picture of the ...
متن کاملRevisiting N-continuous Density-Functional Theory: Chemical Reactivity and “Atoms” in “Molecules”
We construct an internally-consistent density-functional theory valid for noninteger electron numbers N by precise definition of a density functional that is continuous in N. In this theory, charge transfer between the atoms of a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, which have been separated adiabatically to infinity, is avoided because the hardness for fractional occupation of a single HOMO spin-o...
