This study extends density functional theory for degenerate states using generalized Kohn-Sham equations. A new method ensures ensemble quantities are fixed, leading to a modified Kohn-Sham potential for accurate correlation energy calculations.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Materials Science

Background:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a powerful quantum mechanical modeling method.
  • Standard DFT faces challenges with degenerate electronic states.
  • Accurate treatment of electron correlation is crucial for predicting material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an extension of Density Functional Theory (DFT) applicable to degenerate electronic states.
  • To introduce a robust computational framework for systems with multiple electronic configurations.
  • To improve the accuracy of electronic structure calculations for complex materials.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed an extension of DFT using basic variables beyond subspace density.
