In the past decade, the random phase approximation (RPA) has emerged as a promising
post-Kohn–Sham method to treat electron correlation in molecules, surfaces, and solids. In …

This work reviews the increasing evidence that many-body van der Waals (vdW) or
dispersion interactions play a crucial role in the structure, stability and function of a wide …

An accurate determination of the electron correlation energy is an essential prerequisite for
describing the structure, stability, and function in a wide variety of systems. Therefore, the …

We summarize the theory of van der Waals (dispersion) forces, with emphasis on recent
microscopic approaches that permit the prediction of forces between solids and …

Interatomic pairwise methods are currently among the most popular and accurate ways to
include dispersion energy in density functional theory calculations. However, when applied …

Random-phase approximation (RPA) correlation methods based on Kohn–Sham density-
functional theory and Hartree–Fock are derived using the adiabatic-connection fluctuation …

σ-Functionals belong to the class of Kohn–Sham (KS) correlation functionals based on the
adiabatic-connection fluctuation–dissipation theorem and are technically closely related to …

We present a renormalized second-order perturbation theory (rPT2), based on a Kohn-
Sham (KS) reference state, for the electron correlation energy that includes the random …

We explore several random phase approximation (RPA) correlation energy variants within
the adiabatic-connection fluctuation–dissipation theorem approach. These variants differ in …

The simplest way to predict London dispersion energies involving complex multiatom
objects is to add separate contributions from each pair of atoms. Semiempirical, and even …
