AbstractWe present a tensor-structured algorithm for efficient large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations by constructing a Tucker tensor basis that is adapted to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and localized in real-space. The proposed approach uses an additive separable approximation to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and an L1 localization technique to generate the 1-D localized functions that constitute the Tucker tensor basis. Numerical results show that the resulting Tucker tensor basis exhibits exponential convergence in the ground-state energy with increasing Tucker rank. Further, the proposed tensor-structured algorithm demonstrated sub-quadratic scaling with system-size for both systems with and without a gap, and involving many thousands of atoms. This reduced-order scaling has also resulted in the proposed approach outperforming plane-wave DFT implementation for systems beyond 2000 electrons.

The linear and nonlinear response of Si 4 and Na 4 to an external perturbation is investigated in the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory. The time-dependent Kohn–Sham equations, which are the central equations in this approach, are solved in real space and real time. A parallelized implementation to solve these nonlinear, one-particle Schrödinger equations is presented. In contrast to Na 4, Si 4 shows high-harmonic generation far beyond the cut-off predicted by the quasiclassical model and predictions for extended systems.
