我们提出了一个审查的方法和实施细节的AIMPRO Kohn-Sham密度函数代码。它表明,完整的Kohn-Sham密度泛函理论计算可以在一个时间内进行,只有稍微大于紧束缚的实现和路线是开放的,以实现全面和可证明的收敛相对于基础的大小。所涵盖的主题将包括当前代码的内核和功能,最近的发展以及未来的研究方向和前景的讨论。此外,关于这些方法的应用进行了广泛的讨论,它是希望,将作为一个有用的指导应用专家。(C)2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA,魏因海姆
We present a review of methodological and implementation details of the AIMPRO Kohn-Sham density functional code. It is demonstrated that full Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations can be performed in a time only marginally greater than tight binding implementations and a route is opened to achieve full and demonstrable convergence with respect to basis size. Topics covered will include both the kernel and functionality of the current code, a discussion of recent developments as well as future research directions and perspectives. Also, a broad discussion regarding the application of these methods is made that, it is hoped, will serve as a useful guide to application specialists. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
