Local Field Correction Effect on Dicluster Stopping Power in a Strongly Coupled Two-Dimensional Electron Gas System
We calculate the stopping power for heavy-ion diclusters moving in a strongly coupled two-dimensional electron gas system by using the local field corrected dielectric function at finite temperature. We obtain a parameterized local field correction factor based on a relation between the thermal compressibility and exchange-correlation energy in two-dimension. The interpolated parameter is deriv...

متن کاملEquation of state of metallic hydrogen from coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo simulations.
We present a study of hydrogen at pressures higher than molecular dissociation using the coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo method. These calculations use the accurate reptation quantum Monte Carlo method to estimate the electronic energy and pressure while doing a Monte Carlo simulation of the protons. In addition to presenting simulation results for the equation of state over a large region of ...
متن کاملComputational methods in coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo simulations.
In the last few years, we have been developing a Monte Carlo simulation method to cope with systems of many electrons and ions in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation: the coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo method (CEIMC). Electronic properties in CEIMC are computed by quantum Monte Carlo rather than by density functional theory (DFT) based techniques. CEIMC can, in principle, overcome some of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the electron energy fluence and angular distributions from a clinical accelerator. A BEAMnrc Monte Carlo study
Background: Understanding of the incident electron energy and angular distributions from clinical electron accelerators (linacs) is important for dosimetry and treatment planning. The most important goals of this study were to evaluate the energy fluence and angular distributions of electron beams from a Neptun 10PC linac using the Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: The lina...
