摘要:

密度泛函理论的交换关联泛函的导数不连续性被解释为两种电子亲合势的差异。我们表明,标准的Kohn-Sham计算可以用来计算这两个亲和力,他们的差异受益于大量和系统误差消除,允许可靠的估计的衍生物的不连续性。对原子和分子的数值计算表明,不连续性是相当大的(通常为几个eV),并显着和一致地提高了计算的基本能隙与实验间隙的协议。在有利的情况下,单粒子间隙的百分比误差减少了一个数量级以上,甚至在不利的情况下,减少了约两倍。

英文摘要:

The derivative discontinuity of the exchange-correlation functional of density-functional theory is cast as the difference of two types of electron affinities. We show that standard Kohn-Sham calculations can be used to calculate both affinities, and that their difference benefits from substantial and systematic error cancellations, permitting reliable estimates of the derivative discontinuity. Numerical calculations for atoms and molecules show that the discontinuity is quite large (typically several eV), and significantly and consistently improves the agreement of the calculated fundamental energy gap with the experimental gaps. The percentage error of the single-particle gap is reduced in favorable cases by more than one order of magnitude, and even in unfavorable cases by about a factor of two.
