Calculating Electronic Energies from Kohn-Sham Effective Potentials

  • Chapter
Book cover Electronic Density Functional Theory

Abstract

The problem of finding the exact energy of a system given the exact density is well known, though not solved. Here, approximate formulas for calculating the energy from the density are examined using density scaling relations and a functional expansion of the energy. The term that is first order in the functional expansion can be evaluated exactly from the Kohn-Sham effective potential. The term that is second order is evaluated using the Fermi-Amaldi-like correction for the Coulomb energy. An analysis of the approximation of Parr and Ghosh [Phys. Rev. A 51, 3564 (1995)] and of Morrison and Parr [Phys. Rev. A 53, R2918 (1996)] is made using the functional expansion.
