Entropic Density Functional Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
A formulation of density functional theory (DFT) is constructed as an application of the method of maximum entropy for an inhomogeneous fluid in thermal equilibrium. The use of entropy as a systematic method to generate optimal approximations is extended

From Density Functional Theory to Conceptual Density Functional Theory and Biosystems

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2022
The position of conceptual density functional theory (CDFT) in the history of density functional theory (DFT) is sketched followed by a chronological report on the introduction of the various DFT descriptors such as the electronegativity, hardness ...

Spin in Density-Functional Theory [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 2012
The accurate description of open-shell molecules, in particular of transition metal complexes and clusters, is still an important challenge for quantum chemistry.

Noncollinear density functional theory

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
An approach to generalize any kind of collinear functional in density functional theory to noncollinear functionals is proposed. This approach satisfies the correct collinear limit for any kind of functional, guaranteeing that the exact collinear ...

Implicit Density Functional Theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review A, 2006
A fermion ground state energy functional is set up in terms of particle density, relative pair density, and kinetic energy tensor density. It satisfies a minimum principle if constrained by a complete set of compatibility conditions. A partial set, which

Machine learning for improved density functional theory thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The predictive accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) for alloy formation enthalpies is often limited by intrinsic energy resolution errors, particularly in ternary phase stability calculations.

Multilevel Density Functional Theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2021
We introduce a novel density-based multilevel approach in density functional theory. In this multilevel density functional theory (MLDFT), the system is partitioned in an active and an inactive fragment, and all interactions are retained between the two parts.

Density functional theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhotosynthesis Research, 2009
Density functional theory (DFT) finds increasing use in applications related to biological systems. Advancements in methodology and implementations have reached a point where predicted properties of reasonable to high quality can be obtained. Thus, DFT studies can complement experimental investigations, or even venture with some confidence into ...

Density-functional theory on graphs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021
The principles of density-functional theory are studied for finite lattice systems represented by graphs. Surprisingly, the fundamental Hohenberg–Kohn theorem is found void, in general, while many insights into the topological structure of the density-potential mapping can be won.

Local Potential Functional Embedding Theory: A Self-Consistent Flavor of Density Functional Theory for Lattices without Density Functionals

open access: yesComputation, 2022
Quantum embedding is a divide and conquer strategy that aims at solving the electronic Schrödinger equation of sizeable molecules or extended systems.
