Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
An effective local potential (ELP) is a multiplicative operator whose deviation from a given nonlocal potential has the smallest variance evaluated with a prescribed single-determinant wave function. ELPs are useful in density functional theory as alternatives to optimized effective potentials (OEPs) because they do not require special treatment in finite basis set calculations as OEPs do. We generalize the idea of variance-minimizing potentials by introducing the concept of a self-consistent ELP (SCELP), a local potential whose deviation from its nonlocal counterpart has the smallest variance in terms of its own Kohn-Sham orbitals. A semi-analytical method for computing SCELPs is presented. The OEP, ELP, and SCELP techniques are applied to the exact-exchange-only Kohn-Sham problem and are found to produce similar results for many-electron atoms.(C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
