Strong-interaction limit of density-functional theory

Michael Seidl

Electrons can have a given smooth density distribution $\ensuremath{\rho}(r),$ even if their Coulomb interaction is scaled to infinity. This strong-interaction limit of density-functional theory provides essential information on the correlation energy of real electron systems. The simple concept of strictly correlated electrons (SCE) is analyzed here as a model for that limit. SCE is solved exactly for any one-dimensional (1D) N-electron density and, in particular, for any 3D spherical two-electron system, such as the helium atom. Both the SCE interaction energy and the SCE external potential, which are obtained here as density functionals, obey all the relations known for the corresponding quantities in the unknown true strong-interaction limit. At large but finite interaction, the electrons are still strongly correlated, performing zero-point oscillations about the SCE limit.

Density-Functional Theory for Strongly Interacting Electrons

Paola Gori‐Giorgi, Michael Seidl, Giovanni Vignale

We present an alternative to the Kohn-Sham formulation of density-functional theory for the ground-state properties of strongly interacting electronic systems. The idea is to start from the limit of zero kinetic energy and systematically expand the universal energy functional of the density in powers of a "coupling constant" that controls the magnitude of the kinetic energy. The problem of minimizing the energy is reduced to the solution of a strictly correlated electron problem in the presence of an effective potential, which in our theory plays the same role as the Kohn-Sham potential plays in the traditional formulation. We discuss several schemes for approximating the energy functional, and report preliminary results for low-density quantum dots.
