GGA (generalized gradient approximation) Can include corrections beyond second order expansion and enforce various constraints on XC.

17 17 of 45 Classical Mapping Idea is to map quantum variables to classical variables, for which classical calculation results are equivalent/correct for the quantum system. Perrot and Dharma-wardana realization through CHNC. T = 0 n T cf At, given density, the CHNC equations are solved with which is adjusted until T cf = T q is found which produces the same ε c (n) as the benchmark QMC. The CHNC calculation also produce pair distribution functions in good agreement with the benchmarks, and are always non-negative. T q / E F = 1/(a + b r s + c r s ) For T > 0 T cf = T 2 + T 2, q interpolates between 0 and high. T

22 22 of 45 Finite temperature Hartree-Fock Mermin (1963) examined finite temperature Hartree-Fock, showing in the grand ensemble that there is an ensemble of Slater determinants that minimizes the Hartree-Fock free energy and provides an upper bound as at zero temperature.

23 23 of 45 Confined hydrogen

24 24 of 45 Model Problem Hard-wall rectangular parallelepiped containing a few (1-32) hydrogen atoms, where fixed atomic positions are sampled. Box size is from 1 au 3 (Bohr 3 ) to free limit (arbitrarily large). Temperatures range from 0 to 300,000 K (0 26 ev) Methods: Finite Temperature Hartree-Fock (FTHF) and Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). Unique truncated Gaussian type orbital basis is employed. 8 Hydrogen atoms in cubic arrangement of spacing a confined within a hardwall cube of side length. L

25 25 of 45 Truncated Gaussian Type Orbitals Basis Requirements Large number of orbitals for thermal occupation. Matching of hardwall boundary condition. Efficient calculation of electron repulsion integrals. Cartesian Gaussians truncated to match BCs. Coefficients a 0 and a L set by requiring continuity of basis functions. g n box = a 0 [ g n (x) g n (0)] 0 x x c a L [ g n (x) g n ( L x )] x c x L x g n (x) = (x x c ) n e α(x x c) 2 x c is nucleus posistion.

26 26 of 45 Results - Free Energy T = to K. a = 2.0 au; for simple cubic lattice this corresponds to r s = HF free energy is better approximated by temperature dependent LDA exchange functional.

27 27 of 45 Comparison of previous with Geldart finite temperature exchange gradient correction included.

28 28 of 45 Free Energy Components Entropic and kinetic terms contribute most to overall change in free energy, but change in exchange free energy is not negligible. At 300 kk ΔF x is 25% of ΔE and 14% of ΔF.

29 29 of 45 fthf for solid Li

30 30 of 45 Pseudopotentials PPs are required, but must be specialized for WDM systems. Issues are transferability to higher densities and temperatures. Inclusion of more core orbitals in calculation is necessary. All electron zero temperature calculations for clusters can benchmark PP calculations.

31 31 of 45 PP for Hartree-Fock fthf calculation will be for Li densities = g/cc. and temperatures up to 100 kk This allows use of standard 1 electron PP ρ

36 36 of 45 Li LDA pressure Pressure results for bcc Li at 1 g/cc up to 100 kk. All temperature dependent functionals show about 5% lowering of the pressure at 100 kk.

37 37 of 45 ftxc beyond LDA Consider the PBE functional for exchange and correlation. Replace the uniform energy densities by the finite temperature versions. ε x, ε c f x, f c The constraint based parameters of the ehancement factors are taken to be temperature independent.

41 41 of 45 Simple cubic hydrogen ρ H = 4 g/cc. Pressure and percent difference, for LDA and PBE. Green is minimum percent difference and red is maximum, for functional.

42 42 of 45 Temperature dependent XC results for eigenvalues. Simple cubic hydrogen ρ H = g/cc, T = 95250K. 64 atom Gamma point calculation with 500 bands.

43 43 of 45 Temperature dependent XC QMD results. Deuterium ρ D = g/cc, at T = 95250, K. 64 atom Gamma point calculation.

44 44 of 45 Summary and Outlook Finite temperature exchange-correlation functionals are in infancy with respect to ground state functions. This is in part due to lack of high quality LDA data, and lack of benchmark systems. Finite temperature Hartree-Fock provides one means of benchmarks for exchange, quantum chemistry post-hf procedures may provide benchmarks for correlation. Finite temperature functionals add no real additional cost to DFT methods. High accuracy DFT calculations in warm dense matter will require temperature dependent exchange-correlation functionals.
