Localized resolution of identity for efficient Hartree-Fock exchange, based on numeric atom-centered orbitals — •Jürgen Wieferink, Volker Blum, Xinguo Ren, Patrick Rinke, and Matthias Scheffler — Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin, Germany
Methods based on an exact exchange operator (EX) are increasingly popular,
but are still restricted to analytical basis functions (e. g. Gaussians)
for medium system sizes. We here introduce a localized
resolution-of-identity approach for the two-electron Coulomb operator, based
on expanding single-particle basis function products separately into
auxiliary atom-centered basis sets that are restricted to two centers. Our
approach produces accurate results for all-electron EX, can be applied both
to analytical and numeric basis functions, requires only
O(N2) intermediate storage and retains a path towards
O(N) EX for large systems. We demonstrate a total-energy
accuracy of <1 meV/atom for systems including Alanine chains and the S22
benchmark molecule set [1], using the numeric atom-centered orbital based
all-electron electronic structure code FHI-aims [2].
