摘要:

密度泛函近似(DFAs)存在局域化误差,限制了其预测电子亲和能(EAs)、电离势(IPs)和准粒子能的准确性。本文提出了一种改进的准粒子能密度泛函理论(QE-DFT)方法,通过改进交换-相关势的微扰表达式,从而更一致地描述分子系统。我们进一步开发了一个基于PySCF库的开源Python程序PyGSC,实现了改进的QE-DFT框架。主族原子和G2/97分子的基准测试表明,改进的QE-DFT方法优于原始DFAs,第三阶修正的均方误差在EAs和IPs预测中低于0.3 eV。应用于DNA/RNA碱基的偶极束缚态进一步验证了QE-DFT方法优于原始DFAs,为预测大分子系统的电子性质提供了一种高效且准确的方法。

英文摘要:

Density functional approximations (DFAs) suffer from delocalization error, which limits their accuracy in predicting electron affinities (EAs), ionization potentials (IPs), and quasiparticle energies. In this work, we present a theoretical refinement of the quasiparticle energies from density functional theory (QE-DFT) method by improving the perturbative expression for the exchange-correlation potential, leading to a more consistent description of molecular systems. We further develop an open-source Python program, PyGSC, built upon the PySCF library, which implements the modified QE-DFT framework. Benchmark tests on main-group atoms and G2/97 molecules demonstrate that the modified QE-DFT method outperforms the original DFAs, with third-order corrections achieving mean absolute deviations below 0.3 eV for EA and IP predictions. Application to dipole-bound states of DNA/RNA nucleobases further validates the superiority of the QE-DFT approach over original DFAs, offering an efficient and accurate approach for predicting electronic properties in large molecular systems.
