Accelerating equilibration in first-principles molecular dynamics with orbital-free density functional theory

Accelerating equilibration in first-principles molecular dynamics with orbital-free density functional theory

We introduce a practical hybrid approach that combines orbital-free density functional theory (DFT) with Kohn-Sham DFT for speeding up first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. Equilibrated ionic configurations are generated using orbital-free DFT for subsequent Kohn-Sham DFT molecular dynami...
