Double-hybrid density-functional theory with meta-generalized-gradient approximations.
We extend the previously proposed one-parameter double-hybrid density-functional theory [K. Sharkas, J. Toulouse, and A. Savin, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] to meta-generalized-gradient-approximation (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation density functionals. We construct several variants of one-parameter double-hybrid approximations using the Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) meta-GGA funct...
متن کاملThermally-assisted-occupation density functional theory with generalized-gradient approximations.
We extend the recently proposed thermally-assisted-occupation density functional theory (TAO-DFT) [J.-D. Chai, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 154104 (2012)] to generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) exchange-correlation density functionals. Relative to our previous TAO-LDA (i.e., the local density approximation to TAO-DFT), the resulting TAO-GGAs are significantly superior for a wide range of applicatio...
متن کاملGeneralized-gradient-approximation noninteracting free-energy functionals for orbital-free density functional calculations
We develop a framework for orbital-free generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) for the noninteracting free energy density and its components (kinetic energy, entropy) based upon analysis of the corresponding gradient expansion. From that we obtain a new finite-temperature GGA (ftGGA) pair. We discuss implementation of the finite-temperature Thomas-Fermi, second-order gradient expansion, and...
متن کاملAccurate Density Functional with Correct Formal Properties: A Step Beyond the Generalized Gradient Approximation
We approximate the exchange-correlation energy of density functional theory as a controlled extrapolation from the slowly varying limit. While generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) require only the local density and its first gradient as input, our meta-GGA also requires the orbital kinetic energy density. Its exchange energy component recovers the fourth-order gradient expansion, while i...
متن کاملOrbital-corrected orbital-free density functional theory.
A new implementation of density functional theory (DFT), namely orbital-corrected orbital-free (OO) DFT, has been developed. With at most two non-self-consistent iterations, OO-DFT accomplishes the accuracy comparable to fully self-consistent Kohn-Sham DFT as demonstrated by its application on the cubic-diamond Si and the face-centered-cubic Ag systems. Our work provides a new impetus to furthe...
