the team
Use simpler quantities than wavefunction
reduce # degree of freedom by averaging out information I do not need
e.g. density matrices
: all info's about the system: do I really need that?!?

The simplest of them all: density
electron density: just 3 degrees of freedom!
?Which information is contained in the density
?Can we use the density to calculate materials properties

the team
Which information does the density contain?
Formal proof: H-K theorem (reductio ad absurdum)
one-to-one correspondence:
ground state unique, universal functional of the density:
any ground state observable is a density functional:
Hohenberg-Kohn (1964)
![Page 6: Introduction to Density Functional Theory · Density Functional Theory - An Advanced Course Eberhard Engel · Reiner M. Dreizler (2001) Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg Kohn-Sham](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042622/5f83af6c59d71d4b4c3b4e22/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
the team
Can we use the density for calculations?
one-to-one correspondence + Ritz variational principle:
Ground state energy is a density functional:
With this minimum principle we can develop a computationalmethod to calculate GS properties of a system

the team
What is density-functional theory?
based on the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem
Electronic structure approach whose key quantity is the density
to calculate GS properties of a system
(ensures that many-particle system in its GS is fully characterized by its GS density)
minimizes

Generalization to spin-polarized systems
2x2 electron density:
spin-dependent 1-e potential: 2x2 Hermitian matrices
e.g.: scalar potential + magnetic field/magnetic moment coupling (zero if no B ext)scalar potential + spin-orbit coupling (relativistic effects)

the team
Can HK theorem be generalized to 2x2 case?
Similar proof to H-K theorem (reductio ad absurdum)
NO one-to-one correspondence:
ground state unique, universal functional of the 2x2 density:
any ground state observable is a spin-density functional:

Choice of the Hamiltonian
Schrödinger Hamiltonian is not 'exact': relativistic effects (QED/Dirac)
Visible relativistic effects (splitting of order of tenths of eV) from third-row semiconductors: spin-orbit coupling
Example optical absorption in GaSb

where Pauli matrices:
2x2 external potential : 4-density (noncollinear spin formalism) we considered earlier
Main differences with spinless approach:
(spinor)
spinless: non-collinear spin:
full-relativistic pseudopotentials

The Kohn-Sham energies/wavefunctions do not have a precise physical meaning
However KS is a privileged systems of independent particles:
* Reproduce (in principle) GS density * with relatively low computational effort
That is why it is often used as starting point for many-body
perturbation theory calculations
