2 Charge Gap GROUND-STATE ENERGY vs PARTICLE NUMBER IONIZATION ENERGY I(N) = E(N!1)! E(N) AFFINITY ENERGY A(N) = E(N)! E(N +1) = I(N +1) FUNDAMENTAL CHARGE GAP E g = I(N)! A(N) = E(N!1)! 2E(N)+ E(N +1) A discretized second derivative or stiffness

3 Difficulties in calculating charge gap by KOHN-SHAM EQUATION density functional theory #! " 2 r 2 +V(r)+V (r;n)+v (r;n) & % H xc (! " (r) = # " (N)! " (r) $ ' " =1,!, N ε 5 ε 4 ε 3 ε 2 ε 1 KOOPMAN S THEOREM I(N) =!! N (N) I(N +1) =!! N+1 (N +1) However, in practice, one uses EXACT E g =! N+1 (N +1)!! N (N) Derivative discontinuity correction E g,ks =! N+1 (N)!! N (N) = E g! " xc Error resides in the affinity energy

4 Nonuniqueness and derivative discontinuities The basic Euler equation of DFT is!e[n]!n(r) = µ!f[n]!n(r) = µ!v(r)!t s [n]!n(r) = µ!v s (r) where E[n] = F[n]! +! dr n(r)v(r) F[n] = Universal energy functional T s [n]! + E! [n] + E H! [n] xc Noninteracting kinetic energy Hartree energy Exchange-correlation energy The particle number N cannot uniquely determine the chemical potential µ. Therefore, the chemical potential must have discontinuous jumps as a function of particle number ant the functional derivative of F (T s ) is discontinuous.

5 Nonuniqueness and derivative discontinuity II Evolution of the spectrum of H ˆ µ = H ˆ! µ N ˆ Behavior of N vs µ!a(n) = µ + (N)!I(N) = µ! (N) E g = I! A = µ +! µ! =!E[n]!n(r) N+!N!!E[n]!n(r) N!!N

6 The effect of temperature e! E gap / kt A unique relation between N and µ is restored at finite temperature. However, because the finite-t curve approaches the T=0 curve exponentially fast, the transition from µ + (N-1) to µ + (N) takes place in an interval ΔN~ exp(-e gap /kt). Therefore the energy functional remains effectively discontinuous for kt<<e g.

7 Connection with Kohn-Sham theory E g,ks =!T s [n]!n(r) N+!N!!T s [n]!n(r) N!!N E g = E g,ks +! xc Difference between true gap and Kohn-Sham gap is connected to a discontinuity in the derivative of the exchange-correlation energy functional! xc =!E xc [n]!n(r) N+!N "!E xc [n]!n(r) N"!N Note: this connection is not required to define the xc correction in finite electronic systems however it appears naturally in periodic solids, where the total number of particles is infinite, and was first discovered in those systems (the so-called band-gap problem of DFT).

8 The band gap problem

9 Spin Gaps In analogy with ionization and affinity energies we define the spin-down flip and the spin-up flip energies E! = E(N, S!1)! E(N, S) E + = E(N, S +1)! E(N, S) analogous to ionization analogous to negative affinity Note: in contrast to charge gaps, in which both N and S were changed, here only S is changed. SPIN-STIFFNESS GAP E s = E! + E + = E(N, S +1)! 2E(N, S)+ E(N, S!1) Discretized spin stiffness

10 Kohn-Sham spin gaps SPIN-FLIP GAPS E! KS =! L"!! H#! Lowest unoccupied orbital Highest occupied orbital SPIN-CONSERVING GAPS E sc! g,ks =! L! "! H! E sc! g,ks =! L! "! H! E + KS =! L! "! H# SPIN-STIFFNESS GAP E S,KS = (! L! "! H# ) + (! L# "! H! ) CORRECTION TO KOHN-SHAM SPIN GAPS E ± = E ± ± KS +! xc = E ± KS +!E w=0 xc [n!, n " ]!n! (r) n " =n " (0) #!E xc w [n!, n " ]!n " (r) n " =n " (w)

11 Kohn-Sham spin gaps - continued E sc! g,ks + E sc" g,ks = E # + KS + E KS SPIN-POLARIZED INSULATOR FERROMAGNETIC SEMIMETAL E! KS =! L"!! H# E sc! g,ks =! L! "! H! E sc! g,ks =! L! "! H! E + KS =! L! "! H#

12 Example: The Li atom 2p 2s 1s! L! = 2p!! H! = 2s!L! = 2s!!! H! =1s! E! KS =! 2s"!! 2s# E + KS =! 2 p! "! 1s#

13 The Li atom - continued Simple LSDA calculations give rise to serious qualitative errors. Even precise KS eigenvalues do not predict the exact spin flip energies and stiffness. Exchange-only calculations overestimate the size of the gap corrections. The xc correction to the up-flip energy and the spin stiffness turns out to be negative.

14 Time-dependent approach Consider the response of a stationary system to a small spin-dependent periodic potential V ± (r,ω)e -iωt, which can flip the spin up (+) or down (-) by coupling to the spin-flip density operators ˆn! ( r) = " + # (r)" $ (r) ˆn + ( r) =! + " (r)! # (r) The induced spin-flip density is!n ± ( r," ) =! # ± (r, r',")v ± ( r'," ) dr' = # KS eff! ± (r,r',")v ± ( r'," ) dr' where χ KS (r,r,ω) is the Kohn-Sham response function and V ± eff (r) = V ± (r)+! f xc,±± (r, r',!)"n ± (r',!)dr' Where f xc, ±± is the exchange-correlation kernel.

15 A simple approximation for Δ xc Following the method of Petersilka et al. (single-pole approximation), we find + = # dr # dr'! L" (r)! H$ (r) f xc ++ (r,r', E + KS )! L" (r)! H$ (r')! xc " = $ dr $ dr'! L# (r)! H% (r) f xc "" (r,r', E " KS )! L# (r)! H% (r')! xc In adiabatic local density approximation (LSDA) f ++ xc (r,r',!) =!(r! r') = f!! xc (r,r',!) In exact exchange approximation (XX) f ++ xc (r, r',!) = = f!! xc (r,r',!)

16 Numerical results The TDDFT excitation energies are not much improved compared to the KS orbital energy differences. The xc correction to the spin stiffness is reasonably close to the exact value, and has the correct sign.
