摘要

Correlation-driven phenomena in molecular periodic systems are challenging to predict computationally not only because such systems are periodically infinite but also because they are typically strongly correlated. Here, we generalize the variational two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) theory to compute the energies and properties of strongly correlated periodic systems. The 2-RDM of the unit cell is directly computed subject to necessary N-representability conditions such that the unit-cell 2-RDM represents at least one N-electron density matrix. Two canonical but non-trivial systems, periodic metallic hydrogen chains and periodic acenes, are treated to demonstrate the methodology. We show that while single-reference correlation theories do not capture the strong (static) correlation effects in either of these molecular systems, the periodic variational 2-RDM theory predicts the Mott metal-to-insulator transition in the hydrogen chains and the length-dependent polyradical formation in acenes. For both hydrogen chains and acenes, the periodic calculations are compared with previous non-periodic calculations with the results showing a significant change in energies and increase in the electron correlation from the periodic boundary conditions. The 2-RDM theory, which allows for much larger active spaces than are traditionally possible, is applicable to studying correlation-driven phenomena in general periodic molecular solids and materials.
