Slide 6

We do not know the v xc and we need approximate expressions of them to perform electronic structure calculations. For a realistic approximation, we refer homogeneous electron gas. When the electron density changes in the space, we assume that the change is moderate and the electron density is locally homogeneous. Local Density Approximation (LDA) 6

Slide 7

For almost of all materials, the LDA can describe electronic structures reasonably ! Calculated atomic volume (lattice constant) as a function of atomic number. ; O E total r (lattice constant) a E min 7

Slide 8

LDA(Local Density Approximation) error may occur magnetic and strongly-correlated systems. Underestimation of lattice constant. Overestimation of cohesion energy. Underestimation of band gap energy. Occupied localize states (d states) at too high energy. 8

Slide 9

LDA error can be attributed to the presence of the self-interaction (SI) in the LDA energy function. The SI is present in systems characterized by spatially localized electron charges such as 2 p, 3 d, and 4f electrons. SIC is a solution of the error. A. Filippetti, N. A. Spaldin, Phys. Rev.
