5 Summary

23


Many-body problems are hard

Two moons interacting with a planet and each otherTwo electrons interacting with a nucleus and each other

Analytic solutions generally unavailable

Numerical solutions scale as eN or N! for N particles

Molecular orbital theory ignores electron-electron interactions

DFT does something clever

24


N noninteracting Fermions in orbitals {φi (~r)}, with electronprobability density

ρ(~r) =N∑i=1

|φi (~r)|2

and an “exchange-correlation” density functional (function ofa function) EXC [ρ(~r)]

25

Approximate exchange-correlation functionals

Exact EXC [ρ] requires solving the many-body problem

Not possible in real systems

Real calculations use an alphabet soup of approximate XCfunctionals

While “DFT” is exact, approximate XC functionals are not

Each approximation has costs and benefits

26

Costs and benefits of approximate functionals

Semilocal DFT

EXC [ρ] =

∫d3~r eXC (ρ(~r),∇ρ(~r), . . .)

Inexpensive enough for solids

Over-delocalize electrons (overbinding)

DFT for heterogeneous catalysis

Semilocal DFT used for ∼ 20 years

Successes:

Limitations:
