密度泛函理论中的无源交换关联磁场

Source-free exchange-correlation magnetic fields in density functional theory

S. Sharma, E. K. U. Gross, A. Sanna, J. K. Dewhurst

摘要:

现今使用的自旋相关交换相关能泛函依赖于电荷密度和磁化强度密度:$E_{\rm xc}[ρ,{\bf m}]$。然而,根据物理外场的${\bf m}$旋度定义泛函也是正确的:$E_{\rm xc}[ρ,\nabla\times{\bf m}]$。交换相关磁场${\bf B}_{\rm xc}$于是变成无源的。我们研究这种变化的理论,唯一地删除源项从本地和广义梯度近似的功能。通过这样做,总的Kohn-Sham时刻被改善为两个泛函的广泛的材料。值得注意的是,pnictides的时刻现在与实验吻合得很好。我们还预测显着差异的空间几何结构的${\bf B}_{\rm xc}$的pnictides。我们的无源方法是简单的,在所有现有的密度泛函理论代码实现。

英文摘要:

Spin-dependent exchange-correlation energy functionals in use today depend on the charge density and the magnetization density: $E_{\rm xc}[ρ,{\bf m}]$. However, it is also correct to define the functional in terms of the curl of ${\bf m}$ for physical external fields: $E_{\rm xc}[ρ,\nabla\times{\bf m}]$. The exchange-correlation magnetic field, ${\bf B}_{\rm xc}$, then becomes source-free. We study this variation of the theory by uniquely removing the source term from local and generalized gradient approximations to the functional. By doing so, the total Kohn-Sham moments are improved for a wide range of materials for both functionals. Significantly, the moments for the pnictides are now in good agreement with experiment. We also predict dramatic differences in the spatial geometry of ${\bf B}_{\rm xc}$ for the pnictides. Our source-free method is simple to implement in all existing density functional theory codes.
