We introduce a mixed density fitting scheme that uses both a Gaussian and a plane-wave fitting basis to accurately evaluate electron repulsion integrals in crystalline systems. We use this scheme to enable efficient all-electron Gaussian based periodic density functional and Hartree-Fock calculations.

The evaluation of exact (Hartree--Fock, HF) exchange operator is a crucial ingredient for the accurate description of electronic structure in periodic systems through ab initio and hybrid density functional approaches. An efficient formulation of per
iodic HF exchange in LCAO representation presented here is based on the concentric atomic density fitting (CADF) approximation, a domain-free local density fitting approach in which the product of two atomic orbitals (AOs) is approximated using a linear combination of fitting basis functions centered at the same nuclei as the AOs in that product. Significant reduction in the computational cost of exact exchange is demonstrated relative to the conventional approach due to avoiding the need to evaluate four-center two-electron integrals, with sub-millihartree/atom errors in absolute Hartree-Fock energies and good cancellation of fitting errors in relative energies. Novel aspects of the evaluation of the Coulomb contribution to the Fock operator, such as the use of real two-center multipole expansions and spheropole-compensated unit cell densities are also described.
We present an efficient implementation of periodic Gaussian density fitting (GDF) using the Coulomb metric. The three-center integrals are divided into two parts by range-separating the Coulomb kernel, with the short-range part evaluated in real spac
e and the long-range part in reciprocal space. With a few algorithmic optimizations, we show that this new method -- which we call range-separated GDF (RSGDF) -- scales sublinearly to linearly with the number of $k$-points for small to medium-sized $k$-point meshes that are commonly used in periodic calculations with electron correlation. Numerical results on a few three-dimensional solids show about $10$-fold speedups over the previously developed GDF with little precision loss. The error introduced by RSGDF is about $10^{-5}~E_{textrm{h}}$ in the converged Hartree-Fock energy with default auxiliary basis sets and can be systematically reduced by increasing the size of the auxiliary basis with little extra work. [The article has been accepted by The Journal of Chemical Physics.]
We investigate the use of interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) as a means to reduce the memory bottleneck in auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) simulations of real materials in Gaussian basis sets. We find that ISDF can reduce the
memory scaling of AFQMC simulations from $mathcal{O}(M^4)$ to $mathcal{O}(M^2)$. We test these developments by computing the structural properties of Carbon in the diamond phase, comparing to results from existing computational methods and experiment.
Since in periodic systems, a given element may be present in different spatial arrangements displaying vastly different physical and chemical properties, an elemental basis set that is independent of physical properties of materials may lead to signi
ficant simulation inaccuracies. To avoid such a lack of material specificity within a given basis set, we present a material-specific Gaussian basis optimization scheme for solids, which simultaneously minimizes the total energy of the system and optimizes the band energies when compared to the reference plane wave calculation while taking care of the overlap matrix condition number. To assess this basis set optimization scheme, we compare the quality of the Gaussian basis sets generated for diamond, graphite, and silicon via our method against the existing basis sets. The optimization scheme of this work has also been tested on the existing Gaussian basis sets for periodic systems such as MoS$_2$ and NiO yielding improved results.
We extend to strongly correlated molecular systems the recently introduced basis-set incompleteness correction based on density-functional theory (DFT) [E. Giner et al., J. Chem. Phys. 149, 194301 (2018)]. This basis-set correction relies on a mappin
g between wave-function calculations in a finite basis set and range-separated DFT (RSDFT) through the definition of an effective non-divergent interaction corresponding to the electron-electron Coulomb interaction projected in the finite basis set. This enables the use of RSDFT-type complementary density functionals to recover the dominant part of the short-range correlation effects missing in this finite basis set. To study both weak and strong correlation regimes we consider the potential energy curves of the H10, N2, O2, and F2 molecules up to the dissociation limit, and we explore various approximations of complementary functionals fulfilling two key properties: spin-multiplet degeneracy (i.e., independence of the energy with respect to the spin projection Sz) and size consistency. Specifically, we investigate the dependence of the functional on different types of on-top pair densities and spin polarizations. The key result of this study is that the explicit dependence on the on-top pair density allows one to completely remove the dependence on any form of spin polarization without any significant loss of accuracy. Quantitatively, we show that the basis-set correction reaches chemical accuracy on atomization energies with triple-zeta quality basis sets for most of the systems studied here. Also, the present basis-set incompleteness correction provides smooth potential energy curves along the whole range of internuclear distances.
