The lack, of accurate transferable local pseudopotentials represents one of the remaining, barriers to the. general application of orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT, a linear scaling technique). Here we report a method to generate high quality ab initio local pseudopotentials (LPS\’s) for use in condensed matter DFT calculations. We exploit the first Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, which states that the external potential is, one-to-one mapped to the ground-state electron density. By employing a scheme for inverting the Kohn-Sham (KS) equations due to Wang and Parr, we iteratively solve for the KS effective potential v(eff)(KS)(r) until it reproduces a target density. From v(eff)(KS)(r) we derive a global LPS for the entire system. This global LPS is then further decomposed to obtain an atom-centered LPS. We show that LPS\’s,derived from bulk environments are substantially more transferable than those derived from atoms alone. In KS-DFT tests on Si, we show that this bulk-derived LPS can reproduce accurately phase orderings predicted by nonlocal pseudopotentials for both metallic and semiconducting phases. We then tested this LPS in OF-DFT calculations on Si crystals, where we demonstrate that this bulk-derived LPS (BLPS), combined with a linear-response-based kinetic energy density functional with a density-dependent kernel, correctly predicts a diamond structure ground state for Si in an OF-DFT calculation. Other bulk properties, such as defect formation energies and transition pressures are also presented as tests of this BLPS. This approach for deriving LPS\’s isolates much of the remaining error in OF-DFT to the kinetic energy density functional, providing means to test new functionals as they become available.

abstract = {A total of 181 vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) of 41 molecules were calculated by density functional theory (DFT) employing the Perdew-Wang 1986 (PW86) exchange and Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) correlation functionals and using the aug-cc-pV5Z basis and experimental ground-state geometries. The overall average absolute deviation (AAD) from experiment was found to be 0.55 eV and only 0.31 eV for linear molecules but 0.86 eV for nonplanar molecules. A number of VIPs were in error by over 2 eV. In particular, DFT performed most poorly when ionization was from an orbital with highly varying density gradients (which arise from the orbital{\textquoteright}s shape or compactness or through its density being distributed over a number of atoms). Indications are that many or all present-day functionals suffer from the same failings. (C) 2001 John Wiley \& Sons, Inc.},

Interpretation and assignment of the observed transitions were made by combining results of measurements and theoretical predictions of the MW line positions in terms of available empirical potential energy surfaces and of a new high-level ab initio potential energy surface. The deviations of the calculated MW spectra from those observed experimentally are more uniform for the ab initio potential surface than they are for the empirical potential surfaces, allowing for reduction of the deviations to within 0.07\% for all isotopomers by a single-parameter scaling of the nb initio potential energy surface. The scaled Ne-N-2 interaction potential was used to predict the MW line positions for the transitions J{\textquoteright}-J "=3-2, 4-3 for all species. A simple procedure is proposed to improve the ab initio results for atom-diatom systems on the basis of atom-atom interaction components. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.

abstract = {Measurements of the outermost valence electron orbital momentum profiles of the open shell molecules NO, O-2 and NO2 have been obtained using electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS). The presently reported experimental momentum profiles of NO and O-2 display much improved statistics compared with previously published EMS results while the data for the HOMO of NO, is the first reported. In the case of NO, the present measurements are considerably different from previous results and these differences appear to be due to the presence of NO2 impurities in the previous work. The EMS measurements provide a stringent test of basis set effects and the quality of ab initio methods in the description of these open shell systems. The experimental momentum profiles have been compared with theoretical spherically averaged momentum profiles from several basis sets calculated at the level of the target Hartree-Fock approximation (THFA) with a range of basis sets using both unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) and restricted open shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF) methods. Various configuration interaction calculations such as multi-reference singles and doubles configuration interaction (MRSD-CI), averaged coupled pair functional (ACPF) and quasi-degenerate variational perturbation theory (QDVPT) calculations of the full ion-neutral overlap amplitude have also been compared to experiment to investigate the effects of electron correlation and relaxation. The experimental momentum profiles have further been compared to calculations at the level of the target Kohn-Sham approximation (TKSA) using density functional theory (DFT) with the local density approximation and also with gradient corrected exchange-correlation potentials. In addition to momentum profiles, other electronic properties such as total energies, dipole moments, quadrupole moments and values of the electronic spatial extent have been calculated by the various theoretical methods and compared to experimental values.
