We present a low rank moment expansion of the linear density-density response function. The general interacting (fully nonlocal) density-density response function is calculated by means of its spectral decomposition via an iterative Lanczos diagonalization technique within linear density functional perturbation theory. We derive a unitary transformation in the space of the eigenfunctions yielding subspaces with well-defined moments. This transformation generates the irreducible representations of the density-density response function with respect to rotations within SO(3). This allows to separate the contributions to the electronic response density from different multipole moments of the perturbation. Our representation maximally condenses the physically relevant information of the density-density response function required for intermolecular interactions, yielding a considerable reduction in dimensionality. We illustrate the performance and accuracy of our scheme by computing the electronic response density of a water molecule to a complex interaction potential. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Kohn-Sham (KS) density-functional energy expression is derived for any (ground or excited) state within a given many-electron ensemble along with the stationarity condition it fulfills with respect to the ensemble density, thus giving access to both physical energy levels and individual-state densities, in principle exactly. We also provide working equations for the evaluation of the latter from the true static ensemble density-density linear response function. Unlike in Gould's recent ensemble potential functional approach to excited states [arXiv:2404.

σ-Functionals are promising new developments for the Kohn-Sham correlation energy based upon the direct Random Phase Approximation (dRPA) within the adiabatic connection formalism, providing impressive improvements over dRPA for a broad range of benchmarks. However, σ-functionals exhibit a high amount of self-interaction inherited from the approximations made within dRPA. Inclusion of an exchange kernel in deriving the coupling-strength-dependent density-density response function leads to so-called τ-functionals, which - apart from a fourth-order Taylor series expansion - have only been realized in an approximate fashion so far to the best of our knowledge, most notably in the form of scaled σ-functionals.

In this work, the adsorption and sensing behavior of Ag-doped MoSe/ZnO heterojunctions for H, CH, CO, NO, CO, and CH have been studied based on density functional theory (DFT). In gas adsorption analysis, the adsorption energy, adsorption distance, transfer charge, total electron density, density of states (DOS), energy band structure, frontier molecular orbital, and work function (WF) of each gas has been calculated. Furthermore, the reusability and stability of the Ag-doped MoSe/ZnO heterojunctions have also been studied.

Superconductivity is a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum phenomenon where pairs of electrons delocalize and develop phase coherence over a long distance. A long-standing quest has been to address the underlying microscopic mechanisms that fundamentally limit the superconducting transition temperature, . A platform which serves as an ideal playground for realizing "high"-temperature superconductors are materials where the electrons' kinetic energy is quenched and interactions provide the only energy scale in the problem.

A better understanding of urban form metrics and their environmental outcomes can help urban policymakers determine which policies will lead to more sustainable growth. In this study, we have examined five urban form metrics-weighted density, density gradient slope, density gradient intercept, compactness, and street connectivity-for 462 metropolitan areas worldwide. We compared urban form metrics and examined their correlations with each other across geographic regions and socioeconomic characteristics such as income.
