8 Historical background From Physics Today, June (2005).
9 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz Starting ideas of Hohenberg & Kohn create an exact many-body theory around the electronic ground-state density n(r) start from the system of N interacting particles (B-O approx.): H elec = N i=1 1 2 i N M i=1 A=1 Z A r ia + N i=1 N 1 j>i r ij A question What do you think, why did they want n(r) as the main variable?
10 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz Reduction of the number of variables Example: system of 100 particles positions (r 1,..., r 100), r k = (x k, y k, z k ) Schrödinger theory: ψ = ψ (r 1,..., r 100) Questions 1 ψ (r 1,..., r 100) depends on how many variables? 2 if you want to calculate the energy from the variational principle, and guess the initial w.f. with p = 3 parameters, on how many variables will the minimization of energy depend?
11 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz Reduction of the number of variables Example: system of 100 particles positions (r 1,..., r 100), r k = (x k, y k, z k ) Schrödinger theory: ψ = ψ (r 1,..., r 100) Questions 1 ψ (r 1,..., r 100) depends on how many variables? if you want to calculate the energy from the variational principle, and guess the initial w.f. with p = 3 parameters, on how many variables will the minimization of energy depend? ! Exponential wall!
12 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz Reduction of the number of variables Example: system of 100 particles positions (r 1,..., r 100), r k = (x k, y k, z k ) Schrödinger theory: ψ = ψ (r 1,..., r 100) DFT: ψ = ψ [n (r)], n = n (n x, n y, n z) Questions 1 ψ [n (r)] depends on how many variables? 2 on how many variables now does the minimization of energy E 0 = min n(r) E [n (r)] depend?
13 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz
14 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz 1st HK theorem The ground-state density n(r) of a bound system of interacting electrons in some external potential V ext(r) determines this potential uniquely.
15 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz 2nd HK theorem A universal functional E[n] can be defined for any external potential V ext(r). The exact ground state energy of the system is the global minimum of this functional, and the density n(r) that minimizes the functional is the exact ground state density n 0(r). E 0 = E[n 0(r)] = min E [n (r)] n(r) E [n (r)] = V ext(r)n (r) d 3 r + F [n] F [n] = T [n] + E int [n] A question What about F [n]? Do we know it?
16 Hohenberg-Kohn ansatz HK DFT pros an exact theory for ineracting particle systems provides a fundamental understanding of physical quantities like electron density and response functions adds a practical contribution via lowering the number of variables HK DFT cons we don t know F [n]
17 Kohn-Sham ansatz Motivation Hartree s single particle self consistent equations
18 Kohn-Sham ansatz Motivation Hartree s single particle self consistent equations = ignore interaction: V int = 0 = E [n (r)] = V ext(r)n (r) d 3 r + T s[n] T s[n] = kinetic energy of the ground state of noninteracting electrons with density n (r)
19 Kohn-Sham ansatz From this assumption, they got: ( 1 ) 2 + Vext(r) ɛ j ϕ j (r) = 0, E = n (r) = N ɛ j, j=1 N ϕ j (r) 2 j=1
20 Kohn-Sham ansatz To obtain the connection between HK and KS ansatz, rewrite: E HK = V ext(r)n (r) d 3 r + T [n] + E int [n] }{{} E KS = V ext(r)n (r) d 3 r + T s[n] + E Hartree [n] + E xc[n] }{{} Definition of exchange-correlation energy E xc[n] = T [n] + E int [n] (T s[n] + E Hartree [n])
21 Kohn-Sham ansatz Rewriting E KS as E KS = V eff (r)d 3 r + T s[n(r)] gives the equations ( 12 ) + V eff (r) ɛ j ϕ j (r) = 0, n (r) = N ϕ j (r) 2, j=1 V eff = V ext(r) + V Hartree (r) + V xc(r)
22 Kohn-Sham ansatz Noninteracting system ( 1 ) 2 + Vext(r) ɛ j ϕ j (r) = 0 Interacting system ( 12 ) + V eff (r) ɛ j ϕ j (r) = 0 single particle equations for the system of interacting particles = noninteracting particles in an effective potential A question What about V eff? (hint: it depends on V xc)
23 Kohn-Sham ansatz KS DFT pros one N-particle problem N one-particle problems if E xc was known = exact E 0 and n 0 KS DFT cons an exact form of E xc is unknown A question What do you think is the meaning of: a) ϕ j (use an analogy with Schrödinger theory)? b) ɛ j?
24 Kohn-Sham ansatz KS DFT pros one N-particle problem N one-particle problems if E xc was known = exact E 0 and n 0 KS DFT cons an exact form of E xc is unknown A question What do you think is the meaning of: a) ϕ j? n (r) = N j=1 ϕ j(r) 2 b) ɛ j? ɛ highest j = E ionization. Starting approx. for more precise calculations.
25 Kohn-Sham ansatz
26 Approximation to E xc - LDA LDA = Local Density Approximation Exc LDA = n(r) ɛ hom xc [n(r)] }{{} d3 r A question xc density at each point same as that in a homogenous electron gas with that density Where do you think LDA performs well and where not?
27 Approximation to E xc - LDA LDA precision Quantity Deviation from exp. atomic & molecular ground state energies < 0.5% molecular equilibrium distances < 5% band structures of metals few % band gap < 100% lattice constants < 2% E x O(10%) E c 2 Eionization atom & E dissoc & E coh 10 20%
28 Approximation to E xc - GGA GGA = General Gradient Approximation E xc (0) = ɛ hom xc [n(r)]n(r)d 3 r (LDA) E xc (1) = f (1) [n(r), n(r) ]n(r)d 3 r (GGA) E xc (2) = f (2) [n(r), n(r) ] 2 n(r)d 3 r A question What do you think why GGA opened DFT to chemists?
29 Approximation to E xc - GGA GGA precision Quantity B valence bandwidth lattice constants TO(Γ) ν phon E binding E atom ionization & E tot Deviation wrt LDA underestimate narrows corrects or overcorrects underestimate corrects the overestimation corrects

31 Plane waves A question What would be the most appropriate basis for representing the wave functions in solids?
32 Plane waves A question What would be the most appropriate basis for representing the wave functions in solids? Possibilities: 1 plane waves e ikr 2 localized orbitals (gaussians,...) 3 augmented functions (LAPW, PAW,...)

38 Pseudopotentials Basic assumption ψ core are the same in atomic or bounding conditions = n(r) = n core(r) + n val (r) A question What do you think, is this core/valence partitioning obvious for all elements?
39 Pseudopotentials Basic assumption ψ core are the same in atomic or bounding conditions = n(r) = n core(r) + n val (r) Examples F atom: (1s) 2 + (2s) 2 (2p) 5 IP 1 kev ev E exp ion 18 ev Ti atom: (1s) 2 (2s) 2 (2p) 6 + (3s) 2 (3p) 6 (4s) 2 (3d) 2 small core IP 99.2 ev E exp ion 7 ev (1s) 2 (2s) 2 (2p) 6 (3s) 2 (3p) 6 + (4s) 2 (3d) 2 large core IP 43.3 ev
