Nonlocal pseudopotential energy density functional for orbital-free density functional theory

Orbital-free density functional theory is an electronic structure method with a low computational cost enabling large-scale material simulations. Here the authors present a novel protocol which allows for the application of nonlocal pseudopotentials to orbital-free density functional theory.
