1 Role of van der Waals Interactions in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology How can we describe vdw forces in materials accurately? Failure of DFT Approximations for (Long-Range) Van der Waals Interactions 1

3 Failure of DFT Approximations for (Long-Range) Van der Waals Interactions Failure of DFT Approximations for (Long-Range) Van der Waals Interactions EX+cRPA is O.K., though the C 6 coefficient is slightly too small. In general, using standard xc functionals : o Intermolecular equilibrium distances are overestimated by as much as an Angstrom or more o Many molecules and crystals are unbound o Proteins adopt wrong conformations o Large molecules do not adsorb on surfaces 3

5 Exact Exchange plus Correlation in RPA E xc = E x EX + E c RPA E x EX The orbitals for evaluating E x EX are different in Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham DFT. --The numerical technique to evaluate E x EX is the same. Adding correlation: on top of Hartree-Fock exchange: Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) on top of DFT exact exchange : random-phase approximation (RPA) crpa Formulated within DFT Framework E xc = E x EX + E c RPA χ 0 = dynamical-response function of the Kohn-Sham system The approach gives total energies but no information on how the Kohn-Sham energies,, i.e. spectroscopy, will change. This (corresponding) change is given by the GW self-energy. 5

6 RPA in practice: In practical calculations, RPA is done perturbatively on top of a LDA/GGA or PBE0 reference. The RPA total energy = E = (T s + E ext + E Hartree + E x EX + E c RPA Pros and Cons of EX + crpa The good aspects: Exchange is treated at the exact exchange level (so far with PBE or PBE0 orbitals). Essentially no self-interaction error. EX+cRPA is fully non-local, and vdw interactions are included automatically and seamlessly (highly accurate). Screening is taken into account. Thus, EX + crpa works for molecules, insulators, metals with various bonding natures -- in contrast to MP2. And more Problems? An A is still there. For example, there is self-correlation due to the KS response function. Bond strengths of molecules are too weak. Let s improve on this. 6
