چکیده
The implementation of screened hybrid functionals into the WIEN2K code, which is based on the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) basis set, is reported. The Hartree-Fock exchange energy and potential are screened by means of the Yukawa potential as proposed by Bylander and Kleinman [D. M. Bylander and L. Kleinman, Phys. Rev. B 41, 7868 (1990)] for the calculation of the electronic structure of solids with the screened-exchange local density approximation. Details of the formalism, which is based on the method of Massidda, Posternak, and Baldereschi [S. Massidda, M. Posternak, and A. Baldereschi, Phys. Rev. B 48, 5058 (1993)] for the unscreened Hartree-Fock exchange are given. The results for the transition-energy and structural properties of several test cases are presented. The results of calculations of the Cu electric-field gradient in Cu2O are also presented, and it is shown that the hybrid functionals are much more accurate than the standard local-density or generalized gradient approximations.

The understanding of the intermolecular pair potential is important for determining the physical andchemical properties of the matter. The new data for noble gasses was calculated with Soft-CoreDouble Yukawa Potential (SCDY). We studied the effect of the Soft- Core potential on the phasebehavior with Hartree-Fock-Dispersion (HFD) Potential. This model had a steep repulsionexponential term and d...
متن کاملScreened hybrid density functionals applied to solids.
Hybrid Fock exchange/density functional theory functionals have shown to be very successful in describing a wide range of molecular properties. For periodic systems, however, the long-range nature of the Fock exchange interaction and the resultant large computational requirements present a major drawback. This is especially true for metallic systems, which require a dense Brillouin zone samplin...
