Real Space Approach to Electronic-structure Calculations
We have applied the Finite Element Method to the self-consistent electronic structure calculations of molecules and solids for the first time. In this approach all the calculations are performed in ”real space” and the use of non-uniform mesh is made possible, thus enabling us to deal with localized systems with ease. To illustrate the utility of this method, we perform an all-electron calculat...
متن کاملMultipole-preserving quadratures for the discretization of functions in real-space electronic structure calculations.
Discretizing an analytic function on a uniform real-space grid is often done via a straightforward collocation method. This is ubiquitous in all areas of computational physics and quantum chemistry. An example in density functional theory (DFT) is given by the external potential or the pseudo-potential describing the interaction between ions and electrons. The accuracy of the collocation method...
متن کاملAccurate kinetic energy evaluation in electronic structure calculations with localised functions on real space grids
We present a method for calculating the kinetic energy of localised functions represented on a regular real space grid. This method uses fast Fourier transforms applied to restricted regions commensurate with the simulation cell and is applicable to grids of any symmetry. In the limit of large systems it scales linearly with system size. Comparison with the finite difference approach shows that...
