A highly efficient Ab initio tight-binding-like approximate density-functional quantum mechanical method

• A highly efficient ab initio tight-binding-like approximate density-functional quantum mechanical method has recently been developed by us. In this method, the integrals related to the exchange-correlation part are obtained by higher order many-center expansions and all the integrals can be obtained by the interpolation of the look-up tables. The speed of the calculation is also enhanced by using a better way to choose the integrals in the look-up tables. It is shown that the calculated molecular equilibrium geometries and the reaction energies for hydrogenation reactions are very close to those from the usual density functional theory calculations.
