A data-derived approach to initialise densities in DFT

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Nick Woods .

Standard methods to initialise densities in DFT are based upon non-interacting contributions from atoms that are assumed to be in vacuum. We apply standard techniques from total energy methods to interpolate ground state densities.

By using a non-Bayesian ensemble method to quantify uncertainty, we apply only densities that are likely to be accurate to initialise KS DFT calculations. We show for a specific system, that data-derived over standard initial densities can accelerate convergence to self consistency by up to 67%.
