DFT In Momentum Space
Intro
History
1981, Henderson: Momental HK Thm
1982, Smith: Reviewed the status of momentum space considerations and added a programmatic outlook
1983-now: Nothing remarkable
Some discussions
Structure of spatial density functionals does not depend on external potential. Momental functionals does
Momental densities are easier to extract from experimental data, such as compton profiles or angular positron-annihilation correlations
Scott correction to memental density of TF atoms
Goal
Self-consistent determination of momental density
Step 1: Find energy functionals of momental density
Action
II: Introduce effective kinetic energy
III: Momental TF approximation for atoms
IV: Scaling, Multiple counting of e-pairs
Appendix: Is Lowdin’s natrual orbitals same as single-electron states of independent particle description? No
Effective energy \(V\)
What is the problem?
We don’t know \(E_{\text{kin}}[n]\) and \(E_{\text{int}}[n]\)
