Nonlocal Potentials

Due to efficient scaling with electron number N, density functional theory (DFT) is widely used for studies of large molecules and solids. Restriction of an exact mean-field theory to local potential functions has recently been questioned. This review summarizes motivation for extending current DFT to include nonlocal one-electron potentials, and proposes methodology for implementation of the theory. The theoretical model, orbital functional theory (OFT), is shown to be exact in principle for the general N-electron problem. In practice it must depend on a parametrized correlation energy functional. Functionals are proposed suitable for short-range Coulomb-cusp correlation and for long-range polarization response correlation. A linearized variational cellular method (LVCM) is proposed as a common formalism for molecules and solids. Implementation of nonlocal potentials is reduced to independent calculations for each inequivalent atomic cell.

Generalized Exchange

The second electron affinities of the atoms helium to krypton are calculated using the self-interaction corrected generalized exchange local-spin-density functional theory with the correlation energy functional. The dependence of the second electron affinities of the elements O, S, and Se on the Watson sphere radius is discussed. The present results are compared with other theoretical values and experimental data for the elements helium through krypton. Keywords: second electron affinity, density functional theory.

The Density Functional Theory

The quadrupole polarizability and Sternheimer antishielding factor have been calculated for selected closed-shell atoms and ions using the density functional theory. In most cases, the results agree favourably with coupled Hartree–Fock calculations. However, for atoms with valence (d-shells the local density approximation used in the calculations is found to be inadequate. Our results suggest that refinements to the exchange-correlation energy functional are required in order to obtain accurate values for the polarizability and shielding factor of (d-shell atoms within a density functional approach.
