Relativistic parametrization of the self-consistent-charge density-functional tight-binding method. 1. Atomic wave functions and energies.
A detailed treatment of a confined relativistic atom, needed as an initial step for the parametrization of the self-consistent-charge density-functional tight-binding method, is presented and discussed. The required one-component quantities, i.e., orbital energies, orbital wave functions, and Hubbard parameters, are obtained by weighted averaging of the corresponding numbers determined for the ...
متن کاملEwald summation on a helix: A route to self-consistent charge density-functional based tight-binding objective molecular dynamics.
We explore the generalization to the helical case of the classical Ewald method, the harbinger of all modern self-consistent treatments of waves in crystals, including ab initio electronic structure methods. Ewald-like formulas that do not rely on a unit cell with translational symmetry prove to be numerically tractable and able to provide the crucial component needed for coupling objective mol...
متن کاملA Sparse Self-Consistent Field Algorithm and Its Parallel Implementation: Application to Density-Functional-Based Tight Binding.
We present an algorithm and its parallel implementation for solving a self-consistent problem as encountered in Hartree-Fock or density functional theory. The algorithm takes advantage of the sparsity of matrices through the use of local molecular orbitals. The implementation allows one to exploit efficiently modern symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computer architectures. As a first application,...
متن کاملModeling carbon nanostructures with the self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding method: vibrational spectra and electronic structure of C(28), C(60), and C(70).
The self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) method is employed for studying various molecular properties of small fullerenes: C(28), C(60), and C(70). The computed bond distances, vibrational infrared and Raman spectra, vibrational densities of states, and electronic densities of states are compared with experiment (where available) and density-functional theory (DFT)...
متن کاملDensity Functional Theory and Tight Binding-Based Dynamical Studies of Carbon Metal Systems of Relevance to Carbon Nanotube Growth
Address correspondence to [email protected] ABSTRACT Density functional theory (DFT) and tight binding (TB) models have been used to study systems containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and metal clusters that are of relevance to SWNT growth and regrowth. In particular, TB-based Monte Carlo (TBMC) simulations at 1000 or 1500 K show that Ni atoms that are initially on the surface of th...
