Abstract

This article is a thorough critique to the Weniger's comments made to our papers published in prestigious journals in the recent years. A detailed and critical examination of the arguments that led to the suggested comment by Weniger reveals some serious flaws. In our published papers we have shown that the unsymmetrical and symmetrical one-range addition theorems for Slater type orbitals, Coulomb-Yukawa like correlated interaction potentials (CIPs) and their derivatives are derived from the expansions in terms of -ETOs that are complete and orthonormal sets of exponential type orbitals in corresponding Hilbert spaces, where The concrete criticism raised in Weniger's comment against our papers actually touches a very minor aspect of the works that are not relevant at all for the conclusions, which are made. As can be seen from our papers, all of the formulas for different kinds of multicenter integrals over Slater type orbitals with integer and noninteger principal quantum numbers obtained by the use of unsymmetrical and symmetrical one-range addition theorems were tested by computer calculations. We reject the Weniger's personal views about papers published by Guseinov and his coworkers from 1978 to 2006 and respectable referees on one-range addition theorems and multicenter integrals. All claims of inconsistencies and flaws in the theoretical framework are rejected as unfounded. This rejoinder paper contains all of the answers to Weniger's comments.

Systematically Improvable Numerical Atomic Orbital Basis Using Contracted Truncated Spherical Waves

To solve the Kohn-Sham equation within the framework of density functional theory, we develop a scheme to construct numerical atomic orbital (NAO) basis sets by contracting truncated spherical waves (TSWs). The contraction minimizes the trace of the kinetic operator in the residual space, generalizing the spillage minimizing scheme [M. Chen et al., J. Phys. Condens. Matter 22, 445501 (2010); P. Lin et al., Phys. Rev. B 103, 235131 (2021)]. In addition to the systematic improvability inherited from previous schemes, the use of TSW instead of plane waves as the expansion basis bridges reference states and NAOs more effectively, and eliminates spurious interactions between periodic images, thereby enabling better transferability through the inclusion of extensive reference states. Benchmarks demonstrate that the constructed NAO achieves satisfactory precision for various properties of both molecules and bulk systems, including total energy, bond length, atomization energy, lattice constant, cohesive energy, band gap, and energy-level alignment. By incorporating unoccupied states, the improved transferability in describing the conduction band is demonstrated to be effective and substantial.

Augmented Roothaan-Hall Hessian Applied to Spin-Restricted Open-Shell Density-Functional Theory

We generalize the augmented Roothaan-Hall (ARH) Hessian formalism to the self-consistent field (SCF) optimization of spin-restricted open-shell (RO) wavefunctions, encompassing high-spin, low-spin, and two-determinant electronic states. A detailed ARH formulation is presented. We demonstrate that ARH is a highly efficient optimization algorithm for rapidly identifying accurate SCF solutions, primarily owing to its systematic construction of an effective Hessian, particularly in the case of Euclidean quadratic energy functions. The ARH is built upon a universal energy formulation, including grid-based integration, for spin-restricted closed-shell, spin-unrestricted and RO density functional theory (DFT), thereby unifying and simplifying their numerical implementation. The performance of the present method is evaluated using two benchmarking studies. First, for a series of iron-sulfur clusters exhibiting different spin states, which represent notoriously challenging SCF problems, the ARH algorithm demonstrates superior convergence efficiency relative to L-BFGS and truncated Newton methods, requiring much fewer RO-SCF iterations to achieve convergence. Second, the ARH approach tends to avoid convergence to higher-energy stationary points in two-determinant RO-SCF calculations for singlet excited states of selected photoactive compounds. Finally, an application of the ARH-based RO-SCF is illustrated by an investigation of the mechanistic origin of the spin-crossover phenomenon in Ni(II)-porphyrin complex utilized as a contrast agent.

From $\langle n \rangle$ to $n$: Separating multi-particle dynamics by intensity cycling

We address the interpretation of transient spectroscopy signals proportional to average excitation number in terms of discrete number of excitations. Building on our recent intensity cycling approach, we derive a general scheme to isolate multi-particle dynamics from any transient signal under minimal assumptions. The key result is a general formula expressing the extracted nonlinear signal terms by multi-excitation propagators. We demonstrate the approach on exciton transport and annihilation in organic nanoparticles, and carrier recombination in silicon nanocrystals.
