Exact Conditions in Finite-Temperature Density-Functional Theory
Abstract
Density-Functional Theory (DFT) for electrons at finite-temperature is increasingly important in condensed matter and chemistry. The exact conditions that have proven crucial in constraining and constructing accurate approximations for ground-state DFT are generalized to finite-temperature, including the adiabatic connection formula [1]. We discuss consequences for functional construction. [4pt] [1] S. Pittalis, C. R. Proetto, A. Floris, A. Sanna, C. Bersier, K. Burke, and E. K. U. Gross, Phys. Rev. Lett, 107, 163001 (2011)
