GW Method for ExcitationsStrictly, the GW method is not a part of DFT. As generally formulated and practiced, however, GW is a practical realization of the relatively little-noticed third Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham theorem. It is this. The one-particle QM Green’s function is a unique functional of the density alone which attains the correct physical one-particle spectrum at the ground state density n0 . [L.J. Sham and W. Kohn, Phys. Rev. 145, 561 (1966)]

Casida [Phys. Rev. A 51, 2005-13 (1995)] has proved that, in a certain well-defined sense (Klein’s energy minimization principle), the KS potential is the best local approximation to the non-local self-energy operator ΣΣΣΣ.

High precision numerical studies of exact KS eigenvalue differences for simple systems are consistent with this interpretation. [C.J. Umrigar, A. Savin, and X. Gonze in Electronic Density Functional Theory: Recent Progress and New Directions J.F. Dobson, G. Vignale, and M.P. Das eds. (Plenum, 1998), pp 167-76].

Even with the GW simplification, solution of the Dyson equation is a demanding problem. Often models of the dielectric function are used, non-iterative solutions are done, etc. The connection with DFT is that the orbitals and eigenvalues of a DFT calculation often (almost always) are used as the starting approximations. Especially when combined with OPE X, the results are very good for semiconductor band gaps [P. Rinke et al. New J. Phys. 7, 126 (2005)]:

As remarked at the end of Lect. VII, Molecular Dynamics(MD) is at the heart of much of materials physics and biomolecular simulation. At base, it is justNewton’s 2nd Principle.

A “particle” is a fixed, rigid object that can be identified with a point location. For simplicity, just think of point nuclei.

In principle, the inter-particle potential is theBorn-Oppenheimerenergysurface

where E0 ({R}) is the ground state electronictotal energy and ENN is the nuclear-nuclear repulsion.

In practice Vinter-particle({R}) often is represented by parameterization of a classical potential function to some set QM calculations or by an empirically calibrated “force field”. For bond-breaking, fracture, etc. this is not good enough. The real B-O surface is needed.

• The KS eigenvalue form of the DFT ground state energy illustrates the computational barrier to using ordinary KS DFT to provide the B-O forces (“gradients” in quantum chemistry jargon) at every MD step:

This eigenvalue approach is slow. There are “order-N” approximate methods but they introduce additional assumptions (e.g. about basis locality, etc.).

Challenge: to get the content of KS DFT without doing the KS eigenvalueproblem, yet accurately enough to do physics and chemistry studies on realistically available computer clusters.

The KS construction does a very good thing. It separates the KE into a tractable part TS and a remainder which goes into Exc , recall II-6:

◊ Most DFT methods, even so-called order-N, are focused on determining the Kohn-Sham orbitals in a basis.

◊ But in DFT, E[n] is fundamental, the eigenvaluesεεεεj[φK-S[n]] are not.

Orbital-free KE: Fermion N-representability (constraint)

Defn: A KS kinetic energy functional TKS[n] is N-representable iff for eachproper density n, there exists a proper N-fermion state (or ensemble) which has the same KS kinetic energy for that density. Remark – there are infinitely many N-fermion states associated with each proper n.

Consider the constrainedsearchdefinition of the K-S KE:

Implications: 1. An approximate KE functional which delivers a value below the KS

KE Ts for any system is NOTN-representable.2. Any non-N-representable KE functional will give a value below the KS

KE for at leastone system.

Observation – the risks of non-N-representability are serious.

Nevertheless, calculations with Thomas-Fermi-von Weizäcker in OFDFT continue to appear. Some very clever finite element techniques for NON-periodic systems and some interesting results for electronic structure of defects in Al are in, for example, V. Gavini et al. [J. Mech. Phys. Solids 55, 6987-718 (2007)]

Several groups, e.g. Madden et al., Carter et al., Teeter, and others, have focused on Ts[n] with a response function strategy for developing OF-KE approximations. Use Carter et al.,as an example of much of the literature. [See Y.A. Wang and E.A. Carter in Theoretical Methods in Condensed Phase Chemistry, S.D. Schwartz ed. (Kluwer NY 2000) p. 117]

They calibrate their KE density models to linear response on grounds that 1. In atoms and molecules, “shell structure is the barometer” of a good OF-KE2. “short range [density] oscillations and Friedel oscillations” are the “corresponding physical standard” in solid state physics, and 3. “correct linear response behavior is the key to predicting such oscillations.”

Orbital-free KE Approaches – Response Function

3. “correct linear response behavior is the key to predicting such oscillations.”

Result is a set of non-local or two-point approximations – work moderately well for metals, not insulators.

OFDFT generally gives the “smooth” part of the density, so why not use the OFDFT density as an input to a Harris functional approach? [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 081107 (2006)]

3) Use the gradient expansion for Tθθθθ[n], but not the expansion coefficients. Instead, choose the coefficients to remove nuclear-site singularities from vθθθθ[n] to a specified order in the expansion.

4) Test existing conjoint (or nearly) models of Ts[n] by inputting the density from a conventional KS calculation with a selected Exc approximation.

5) Upon step 4) success, use ts[n] to generate n from Euler equation (in a basis) and compare with n0 from conventional KS calc. Continue or loop back as required.

6) Apply to MD calculation on target system(s) related to training set.

But all the OFKE models give bond lengths that are too long. Problem – positive singularities at nuclei.

Orbital-free KE: Constraint-based Approach (cont’d.) Solution to “too positive” a Pauli potential (nuclear site singularities): Analyze the gradient expansion for Tθθθθ[n] using known (Kato cusp condition) near-nucleus behavior of the density. Determine expansion coefficients through given order that suppress the singularities. [V.V. Karasiev, R.S. Jones, S.B.T. and F.E. Harris, Phys. Rev. B (submitted)]

GW and OFKE - Some Commentary

• GW is still an active area of research• There has been considerable controversy about the role of the multiple self-consistency requirements in GW and the impact of basis sets.• A simplified, computationally fast, yet basically accurate approximate version of GW would be highly desirable.• OFKE is also an area of active research, though for a smaller community. • There is a strong divergence of approaches between the “response function”(two-point schemes) and the newer, less-well-developed “constraint-based” schemes.• Note that, in all fairness, the response function approach is also “constraint-
