Ballistic Transport in Nanostructures from First-Principles Simulations
We developed and implemented a first-principles based theory of the Landauer ballistic conductance, to determine the transport properties of nanostructures and molecularelectronics devices. Our approach starts from a quantummechanical description of the electronic structure of the system under consideration, performed at the density-functional theory level and using finite-temperature molecular...
متن کاملHeat transport in silicon from first-principles calculations
Using harmonic and anharmonic force constants extracted from density functional calculations within a supercell, we have developed a relatively simple but general method to compute thermodynamic and thermal properties of any crystal. First, from the harmonic, cubic, and quartic force constants, we construct a force field for molecular dynamics. It is exact in the limit of small atomic displacem...
متن کاملFirst principles simulations
In this paper we outline the major features of the "ab-initio" simulation scheme of Car and Parrinello, focusing on the physical ideas and computational details at the basis of its efficiency and success. We briefly review the main applications of the method. We discuss the limitations of the standard scheme, as welt as recent developments proposed in order to extend the reach of the method. Mo...
متن کاملSimulations of transport in one dimension
Advection-dispersion equation is solved in numerically by using combinations of differential quadrature method (DQM) and various time integration techniques covering some explicit or implicit single and multi step methods. Two different initial boundary value problems modeling conservative and nonconservative transports of some substance represented by initial data are chosen as test problems. ...
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...
