Excited States from Restricted Open Shell Plane-Wave DFT

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Variational excited-state density functional theory (DFT) enables the calculation of excited states at a cost comparable to ground-state calculations, but single-configuration approaches often suffer from spin contamination. We implement restricted open-shell Kohn-Sham (ROKS) DFT, which recovers spin-pure singlet excitation energies via the variational minimization of a weighted combination of mixed-spin and triplet configurations, within the plane-wave...
