The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

ABSTRACTWe present a selfconsistent LCAO approach for describing the electronic properties of materials. This method introduces many-body effects by means of a new approach, whereby a local orbital potential is defined by calculating the exchange-correlation energy as a function of the different orbital occupancies. A LCAO-pseudopotential is also introduced, keeping all the calculations within the context of the local orbital basis. We have applied the method to the calculation of simple molecules and crystals, in both cases we find results that confirm the validity of our approach.

ABSTRACTGeneralized functionals are constructed from the exchange-correlation energy by a Legendre transformation which makes the new functionals stationary at the electronic charge density, potential, and wave functions for the ground-state. Using generalized functionals, the density, potential, and wave functions can be independently parameterized and varied to determine the ground-state energy-surface for a system of atoms. This eliminates the computationally awkward steps of constructing densities from wave functions or potentials from densities, and is particularly well suited to parameterizations using tight-binding orbitale together with atomic-like densities and potentials. For each choice of parameters, the only quantities which must be computed are the electron-electron energy for the density, the integral of the potential over the density, and the band structure energy for the wave functions. To second order in the density, potential, and wave functions, the energy for a configuration of atoms is given by the generalized functional evaluated at a superposition of atomic densities, a potential made by stitching together the atomic potentials where they are equal, and atomic wave functions. For more accurate stationary energies the densities, potentials, and wave functions can be improved by one or more conjugate gradient steps.

An important part of condensed matter physics in recent years has involved detailed study of inelastic interactions between swift electrons and condensed matter surfaces. Here we will review some aspects of such interactions.Surface excitations have long been recognized as dominant in determining the exchange-correlation energy of charged particles outside the surface. Properties of surface and bulk polaritons, plasmons and optical phonons in plane-bounded and spherical systems will be discussed from the viewpoint of semiclassical and quantal dielectric theory. Plasmons at interfaces between dissimilar dielectrics and in superlattice configurations will also be considered.

We analyze in depth two widely used definitions (from the theory of conditional probablity amplitudes and from the adiabatic connection formalism) of the exchange-correlation energy density and of the response potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. We introduce a local form of the coupling-constant-dependent Hohenberg-Kohn functional, showing that the difference between the two definitions is due to a corresponding local first-order term in the coupling constant, which disappears globally (when integrated over all space), but not locally. We also design an analytic representation for the response potential in the strong-coupling limit of density functional theory for a model single stretched bond.<br>

In this paper we review regularities of low-lying states for many-body systems, in particular, atomic nuclei, under random interactions. We shall discuss the famous problem of spin zero ground state dominance, positive parity dominance, collective motion, odd-even staggering, average energies, etc., in the presence of random interactions.
