Kohn-Sham密度泛函理论与约化密度矩阵泛函理论的统一

Unity of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory and Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory

Neil Qiang Su

摘要:

本文提出了一种统一Kohn-Sham(KS)密度泛函理论(DFT)和约化密度矩阵泛函理论(RDMFT)两个独立理论框架的理论。将KS轨道推广到超复数系统导致了超复数KS(HCKS)理论,它将KS-DFT中密度的搜索空间扩展到与RDMFT中具有分数占据的自然自旋轨道等价的空间。因此,HCKS是能够捕捉多参考性质的强相关性,通过动态变化的分数职业。此外,HCKS的潜力,以克服KS的基本限制验证系统具有很强的相关性,包括过渡金属原子。HCKS作为实现DFT的一种有前途的替代方案,为DFT的发展和应用开辟了新的可能性。

英文摘要:

This work presents a theory to unify the two independent theoretical frameworks of Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) and reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). The generalization of the KS orbitals to hypercomplex number systems leads to the hypercomplex KS (HCKS) theory, which extends the search space for the density in KS-DFT to a space that is equivalent to natural spin orbitals with fractional occupations in RDMFT. Thereby, HCKS is able to capture the multi-reference nature of strong correlation by dynamically varying fractional occupations. Moreover, the potential of HCKS to overcome the fundamental limitations of KS is verified on systems with strong correlation, including atoms of transition metals. As a promising alternative to the realization of DFT, HCKS opens up new possibilities for the development and application of DFT in the future.
