Double-hybrid density functionals for the condensed phase: Gradients, stress tensor, and auxiliary-density matrix method acceleration


Stein, Frederick; Hutter, Jürg (2022). Double-hybrid density functionals for the condensed phase: Gradients, stress tensor, and auxiliary-density matrix method acceleration. Journal of Chemical Physics, 156(7):074107.

Abstract

Due to their improved accuracy, double-hybrid density functionals emerged as an important method for molecular electronic-structure calculations. The high computational costs of double-hybrid calculations in the condensed phase and the lack of efficient gradient implementations thereof inhibit a wide applicability for periodic systems. We present an implementation of forces and stress tensors for double-hybrid density functionals within the Gaussian and plane-waves electronic structure framework. The auxiliary density matrix method is used to reduce the overhead of the Hartree–Fock kernel providing an efficient and accurate methodology to tackle condensed phase systems. First applications to water systems of different densities and molecular crystals show the efficiency of the implementation and pave the way for advanced studies. Finally, we present large benchmark systems to discuss the performance of our implementation on modern large-scale computers.
