12 History of Electronic Structure Methods Thomas,Fermi 1927: first DFT (self consistent field!) Hartree 1928: Hartree equation Fock 1930: Hartree-Fock Roothaan,Hall 1951: LCAO in HF Hohenberg-Kohn 1964: famous theorem(s) Kohn-Sham 1965: variational (practical) approach

14 Hohenberg-Kohn Theorem The external potential V ext (r) is (to within a constant) a unique functional of ρ(r); since, in turn V ˆ ext (r) fixes H elec we see that the many particle ground state is a unique functional of ρ(r) Vext ( r ) = external potential from nuclei = nuclei i Zi r - r i ρ( r ) V ( r) ext V ( r ) ρ( r ) ext

15 ext ext Proof Existence Theorem reduction ad absurdum: proof by contradiction V ( r ) V ( r ) that give rise to the same ρ(r) associated with H ˆ H ˆ V H ˆ E F V r r F V r [ ( )] = ρ ( ) = [ ( ) ] = 0 + ext; Ψ = Ψ 0 ext ext H ˆ = H ˆ + V ; H ˆ Ψ = E Ψ E = Ψ Hˆ Ψ < Ψ Hˆ Ψ = Ψ Hˆ Ψ + Ψ Hˆ Hˆ Ψ ext Ψ E < E + Ψ V V Ψ ext ext ρ( )( ext ext ) ρ ( ) E < E + dr r V V E < E + dr ( r ) V ext Vext E E E E + < + Vext ( r ) ρ( r ) E [ ρ( r) ]

16 Variational Theorem The ground state energy can be obtained variationally: the density that minimizes the total energy is the exact ground state density 2 ˆ ˆ e Helec = T + + Vext + C k< l rˆ rˆ k l [ ρ] = [ ρ] + [ ρ] + [ ρ] E T V V int ext [ ] ˆ E ρ ( r) = Ψ Helec Ψ [ ρ( )] < [ ρ ( )] E r E r
