By combining density-functional theory (DFT) and wave function theory (WFT) via the range separation (RS) of the interelectronic Coulomb operator, we obtain accurate fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) energies with compact multideterminant trial wave functions.
|
||||
These compact trial wave functions are generated via the diagonalization of the RS-DFT Hamiltonian.
|
||||
In particular, we combine here short-range correlation functionals with selected configuration interaction (SCI).
|
||||
As the WFT method is relieved from describing the short-range part of the correlation hole around the electron?electron coalescence points, the number of determinants in the trial wave function required to reach a given accuracy is significantly reduced as compared to a conventional SCI calculation.
