Lecture

Density Functional Theory: Common Problems and Solutions

Description

This lecture discusses the severe shortcomings of density functional approximations, such as missing dispersion interactions, self-interaction errors, and static correlation errors. It explores solutions like dispersion corrections, long-range corrected exchange, and perturbation theory. The lecture also covers charge-transfer excitations and the importance of non-local exchange for correct long-range charge transfer.
