1 The Schrödinger equation for many-electron systems Ĥ!( x,, x ) = E!( x,, x ) 1 N 1 1 Z 1 Ĥ = " $ # " $ + $ 2 r 2 A j j A, j RAj i, j < i a linear differential equation in 4N variables (atomic units) (3 spatial and 1 spin coordinate for every electron) Time independent Schrödinger equation Born-Oppenheimer approximation Relativistic effects are neglected Neglect of higher order effects (e.g. spin-orbit interaction) No excited states! Ground state (E 0, " 0, # 0 ) ij N " is antisymmetric!

2 The Hartree-Fock approximation The HF method provides the N spin-orbitals! HF i (x) (i=1,2,,n) which define the best single-determinant approximation of " 0 : HF " # $ = 0 1 N! HF ( x )!

3 Beyond Hartree-Fock Many methods/approximations are applicable. Generally expensive and not yet widely applied in periodic systems (CRYSCOR) Eg: MP2, MP3, MP4 CI, CIS, CASSCF, CCSD(T) QMC Is it necessary to solve the Schrödinger equation and determine the 4N dimensional wavefunction in order to compute the ground state energy?

4 The external potential Any energy E accessible to a many-electron system in a stationary state " is given by: 1 * 2 * E =! Ĥ! = "! ( 1,, N )# j! ( 1,, N ) d 1 d N " 2 $% x x x x x x ( x,, x ) ( x,, xn ) " Z dx dx + *! 1 N! 1 A A, j rj " R A $ % j 1 N kinetic energy electron-nuclear attraction + $ % *! 1 N! 1 ( x,, x ) ( x,, x ) r " r i, j< i j i N dx 1 dx N electron-electron repulsion ˆV ( r) ext = " A Z A r! R A The external potential V ext and the number of electrons N completely determine the Hamiltonian. The kinetic energy and e-e repulsion terms are universal.

5 $ The electron density The electron-nuclear attraction and electron-electron repulsion terms are easily rewritten in terms of the one-particle electron density * " ( x 1,, x N )"( x 1,, x N ) 1!( 1) dx1 dxn = r dr1 r1 # R A N r1 # R A $ $!( r ) = N # ( x,, x )#( x,, x ) d" dx dx * 1 1 N 1 N 1 2 N and the pair electron density: * " ( x 1,, x N )"( x 1,, x N ) 1!( 1, 2) dx1 dxn = r r dr1 dr2 r1 # r2 N( N # 1) r1 # r2 $ $ %!( r, r ) = N( N # 1) $ ( x,, x ) $ ( x,, x ) d" d" dx dx * N 1 N N Because electrons are indistinguishable, E results from a sum of integrals which depend at most on six independent spatial coordinates.

6 Hohenberg-Kohn Theorem To find the exact total energy knowledge of the electron charge density "(r) is enough! Hohenberg-Kohn (1964) established the rules of the DFT (Density Functional Theory) to compute the ground state energy as a functional of the electron density The external potential V ext (r) is a unique functional of "(r) to within a constant and, since V ext (r) determines H, the full many-particle ground-state is a unique functional of "(r) References: W. Koch, M. C. Kolthausen, A Chemist s Guide to Density Functional Theory, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2000 R. G. Parr, W. Yang, Density Functional Theory of Atoms and Molecules, Oxford University Press, New York, 1989

7 Hohenberg-Kohn Theorem: proof The proof of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem is surprisingly simple. Let us suppose there exist two different external potentials (by more than a constant) associated with the same electron density: Vˆ # Hˆ # $ #! % $ " % Hˆ " % Vˆ " ext As a consequence of the variational theorem, the ground state energies corresponding to the trial functions " and "! are E < " Hˆ " = " Hˆ! " + " H-H ˆ ˆ! " = E! + " H-H ˆ ˆ! " 0 0 E 0! < " H ˆ! " = " Ĥ " + " H ˆ!-Ĥ " = E0 # " Ĥ- H ˆ! " but, summing these two expressions, we obtain the following false inequality: E + E! < E! + E We conclude that two V ext that yield the same electron density cannot exist. E = E [!] The energy is a functional of the electron density ext

8 Hohenberg-Kohn Theorem 2 The density which minimises the energy is the ground state density and the minimum energy is the ground state energy. E 0 =!( r )" N [! r ] min E ( ) under the constraint: "!( r)dr = N But... The kinetic energy and the e-e repulion energy are difficult to compute in terms of the electron density: #! ( x,, x )"! ( x,, x ) dx dx * 2 * 1 N j 1 N 1 N V e e 1 2 = #!( r1, r2 ) r " r 1 2 dr dr 1 2 Warning! Unfortunately, not any electron density is acceptable, but only those "(r) which are generated by antisymmetric wavefunctions

9 The Kohn-Sham method Kohn and Sham (1965) proposed to express the electron density in terms of a set of orthonormal single-particle functions: The total energy is then given by: ( r) ( r) 2 i = 1 The ground state density " 0 (r) is obtained by solving a coupled set of one-electron pseudo-schrödinger equations, the Kohn-Sham equations, self-consistently: ( r) = ( r) h! "! ˆKS i i i ˆ KS 1 2!( r ') h = " # + Vext ( r ) + $ dr ' + Vxc( r ) 2 r " r ' N! = # " i ( r) = ( r) + ( r) + ( r) + ( r) KS E " $! #% T " $! #% " $! #% " $! #% " $! # S Eext EC Exc % V xc! E =!" xc

10 The non-interacting system There exists an effective mean field potential which, when applied to a system of non-interacting fermions, will generate the exact ground state energy and charge density. 1 r r!( r, " V xc ( i j 1 r! ( r) 2,...) i r) E[#], #(r) Picture courtesy of Nic Harrison

11 The exchange-correlation functional ( r) = ( r) + ( r) + ( r) + ( r) KS E " $! #% T " $! #% E " $! #% " $! #% " $! # ext EC Erest % The functional form of the kinetic energy is unknown! known! self-interaction correction, exchange, correlation unknown!

The exchange-correlation universal functional contains: unknown! The difference in the kinetic energy between the real system and the independent particle system The electron-electron repulsion interactions excluding the Coulomb interaction of the independent-particle system We need a guess for E xc!

12 The homogeneous electron gas The model used is extremely simple: a homogeneous gas of electrons. For the non-interacting gas the kinetic and exchange energy per particle can be computed the single particle wavefunctions are simply plane waves. 3 T[!] (3" )!( ) 10 E xc 2 5 [ ] 2 3 = # r 3 dr [!]!( )" [!

Slater, 1951 x The exact dependence of! c ["] for the homogeneous electron gas can be computed by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations (Ceperley-Alder, 1980) % xc

13 The Local Density Approximation (LDA) For the ground state energy and density there is an exact mapping between the many body system and a fictitious non-interacting system: LDA Exc [!] = #!( r) " xc(!( r)) dr # # The energy functional is approximated as a local functional of the energy. Picture courtesy of Andreas Savin r % xc

14 The exchange-correlation hole The pair density determines the total energy: does the LDA reproduce the pair density? The exchange-correlation hole is the conditional probability, the probability of finding an electron at r 2 given that there is an electron at r 1 ( r, r )!! ( r, r ) = "!( r ) xc !( r1 ) It is the hole the electron at r 1 digs for itself in the surrounding density. The exchange-correlation hole has some properties. For example, it should normalise to exactly one electron, because the conditional probability for electrons of the same spin as electron 1 integrates to N " -1 instead of N " : #! xc ( r1, r2 ) dr2 = " 1

15 Why does the LDA work? The exchange-correlation hole indeed sums to -1 in LDA! The exchange-correlation hole is poorly estimated in LDA. However. LDA generates a reasonable estimate of the spherical-averaged exchange-correlation hole. Gunnarsson et al. 1979

16 The LDA energy densities in direct space The difference between the exact (V-QMC) and LDA energy density in bulk silicon (au) Exchange Correlation Hood et al., Phys. Rev. B 57, 8972 (1998) The errors in the exchange and corelation energy densities tend to cancel!
