Density functional theory for strongly-interacting electrons: perspectives for physics and chemistry
Literature Information
Paola Gori-Giorgi, Michael Seidl
Improving the accuracy and thus broadening the applicability of electronic density functional theory (DFT) is crucial to many research areas, from material science, to theoretical chemistry, biophysics and biochemistry. In the last three years, the mathematical structure of the strong-interaction limit of density functional theory has been uncovered, and exact information on this limit has started to become available. The aim of this paper is to give a perspective on how this new piece of exact information can be used to treat situations that are problematic for standard Kohn–Sham DFT. One way to use the strong-interaction limit, more relevant for solid-state physical devices, is to define a new framework to do practical, non-conventional, DFT calculations in which a strong-interacting reference system is used instead of the traditional non-interacting one of Kohn and Sham. Another way to proceed, more related to chemical applications, is to include the exact treatment of the strong-interaction limit into approximate exchange–correlation energy density functionals in order to describe difficult situations such as the breaking of the chemical bond.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
