abstract = {In this thesis, we extended the applicability of the
full-potential linearized augmented-planewave (FLAPW)
method, one of the most precise, versatile and generally
applicable electronic structuremethods for solids working
within the framework of density-functional theory (DFT), to
orbital-dependent functionals for the exchange-correlation
(xc) energy. In contrast to the commonly applied
local-density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient
approximation (GGA) for the xc energy, orbital-dependent
functionals depend directly on the Kohn-Sham (KS) orbitals
and only indirectly on the density. Two different schemes
that deal with orbital-dependent functionals, the KS and the
generalized Kohn-Sham (gKS) formalism, have been realized.
While the KS scheme requires a local multiplicative xc
potential, the gKS scheme allows for a non-local potential
in the oneparticle Schrödinger equations. Hybrid
functionals, combining some amount of the orbital-dependent
exact exchange energy with local or semi-local functionals
of the density, are implemented within the gKS scheme. We
work in particular with the PBE0 hybrid of Perdew, Burke,
and Ernzerhof. Our implementation relies on a representation
of the non-local exact exchange potential – its
calculation constitutes the most time consuming step in a
practical calculation – by an auxiliary mixed product
basis (MPB). In this way, thematrix elements of
theHamiltonian corresponding to the non-local potential
become a Brillouin-zone (BZ) sum over vector-matrix-vector
products. Several techniques are developed and explored to
further accelerate our numerical scheme. We show PBE0
results for a variety of semiconductors and insulators. In
comparison with experiment, the PBE0 functional leads to
improved band gaps and an improved description of localized
states. Even for the ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO with
localized 4 f electrons, the electronic andmagnetic
properties are correctly described by the PBE0 functional.
Subsequently, we discuss the construction of the
local,multiplicative exact exchange (EXX) potential from the
non-local, orbital-dependent exact exchange energy. For this
purpose we employ the optimized effective potential (OEP)
method. Central ingredients of the OEP equation are the KS
wave-function response and the single-particle density
response function. A formulation in terms of a slightly
modified MPB enables to solve the OEP integral [...]},
