title: Orbital-corrected orbital-free density functional theory.
abstract: A new implementation of density functional theory (DFT), namely orbital-corrected orbital-free (OO) DFT, has been developed. With at most two non-self-consistent iterations, OO-DFT accomplishes the accuracy comparable to fully self-consistent Kohn-Sham DFT as demonstrated by its application on the cubic-diamond Si and the face-centered-cubic Ag systems. Our work provides a new impetus to further improve orbital-free DFT method and presents a robust means to significantly lower the cost associated with general applications of linear-scaling Kohn-Sham DFT methods on large systems of thousands of atoms within different chemical bonding environment.
