Hybrid functionals based on a screened Coulomb potential
@article{Heyd2003HybridFB, title={Hybrid functionals based on a screened Coulomb potential}, author={Jochen Heyd and Gustavo E. Scuseria and Matthias Ernzerhof}, journal={Journal of Chemical Physics}, year={2003}, volume={118}, pages={8207-8215} }
Hybrid density functionals are very successful in describing a wide range of molecular properties accurately. In large molecules and solids, however, calculating the exact (Hartree–Fock) exchange is computationally expensive, especially for systems with metallic characteristics. In the present work, we develop a new hybrid density functional based on a screened Coulomb potential for the exchange interaction which circumvents this bottleneck. The results obtained for structural and thermodynamic…

A detailed comparison of the performance of the HSE03 and PBE0 functionals for a set of archetypical solid state systems is presented, indicating that the hybrid functionals indeed often improve the description of these properties, but in several cases the results are not yet on par with standard gradient corrected functionals.

The comprehensive test results presented here validate the assumption that the screened, short-range Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange exhibits all physically relevant properties of the full HF exchange and allow hybrids to be constructed which neglect the computationally demanding long-range part of HF exchange while still retaining the superior accuracy of hybrid functionals, compared to pure density functionals.

It is shown that such a local potential can be derived from existing global hybrid functionals using the optimized effective potential method, and unlike the conventional one, the local potential produced orbital energy gaps with no strong dependence on the mixing ratio as a good approximation for optical excitations.
