Title: Thermal hybrid exchange-correlation density functional for improving the description of warm dense matter

Abstract

Finite-temperature density functional theory (FT-DFT) has become a standard tool for first principles calculations of the properties of warm dense matter (WDM) relevant to high-energy density physics (HEDP) applications. In this work we introduce theoretical grounds of thermal hybrid exchange-correlation (XC) functionals within the generalized Mermin-Kohn-Sham scheme for an improved description of WDM. Building on the previously developed KSDT (Karasiev-Sjostrom-Dufty-Trickey) [Karasiev et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 076403 (2014)] local density approximation (LDA) and the KDT16 (Karasiev-Dufty-Trickey 2016) [Karasiev et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 076402 (2018)] generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) XC free-energy density functionals, we construct a new thermal hybrid XC functional, referred to here as KDT0. The KDT0 model at low temperature reduces to the popular ground-state PBE0 hybrid due to properties of the used KDT16 density functional approximation. Application to static calculations of electronic band gap and band structure at a wide range of temperatures for various systems of interest to HEDP show that KDT0 provides a significant improvement to the lower LDA and GGA rung XC functionals and to the ground-state PBE0 hybrid.
