Improving the Efficiency of FP-LAPW Calculations
The full-potential linearized augmented-plane wave (FP-LAPW) method is well known to enable most accurate calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of crystals and surfaces. The implementation of atomic forces has greatly increased its applicability, but it is still generally believed that FP-LAPW calculations require substantial higher computational effort compared to th...
متن کاملCalculation of ionization within the close-coupling formalism.
The CCC method was developed initially [1,2] to describe scattering of electrons from one-electron targets. The method made use of Laguerre basis states that are are L functions to discretize the target continuum. The method provided convergent amplitudes for scattering to low–lying discrete states and total–ionization cross– sections. The theory is fully symmetrized since it is based on a symm...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Calculation of Transport Coefficients
We demonstrate the practical feasibility of calculating transport coefficients such as the viscosity of liquids completely from first principles using the Green-Kubo relations. Results presented for liquid aluminum are shown to have a statistical error of only ca. 5%. The importance of such calculations is illustrated by results for a liquid iron-sulfur alloy under Earth’s core conditions, whic...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of local atomic polarizabilities.
Common methods of determining atomic polarizabilities suffer from the inclusion of nonlocal effects such as charge polarization. A new method is described for determining fully ab initio atomic polarizabilities based on calculating the response of atomic multipoles to the local electrostatic potential. The localized atomic polarizabilities are then used to calculate induction energies that are ...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Calculation of the Third Virial Coefficient of Helium
Knowledge of the pair and three-body potential-energy surfaces of helium is now sufficient to allow calculation of the third density virial coefficient, C(T), with significantly smaller uncertainty than that of existing experimental data. In this work, we employ the best available pair and three-body potentials for helium and calculate C(T) with path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) calculations sup...
