Correlation energy per particle from the coupling-constant integration

چکیده
The adiabatic connection can be used in density functional theory to define the unknown ~exchange and! correlation density functional. Using conventional wave-function techniques, accurate estimates of thus defined ~exchange and! correlation energy densities can be obtained for specified systems. In this paper, numerical results are presented for the He and the Be atom, as well as the isoelectron Ne ions. A generalized gradient approximation is tested against these results. The comparison shows that the generalized gradient approximation has the ability to detect local features ~the shell structure!. In one case (Ne), however, it turns out that the accurate correlation energy per particle is lower than that obtained within the local-density approximation, and thus not properly corrected by the generalized gradient approximation.

Correlation Energy Densities : E Pluribus Unum
For a given electron density n(r), the correlation energy Ec is unique while the correlation energy density n(r)ǫc(r) is not. Exact correlation energy densities for atoms or molecules have been calculated by Baerends et al [1, 2] and by Huang and Umrigar [3] from two wavefunctions: one for the system at full coupling strength and one for its non-interacting counterpart of the same electron dens...
متن کاملA Study of Bit Condition for Generation Rx -Mode Waves: Interaction of Particles with Z/UH-Mode Waves
Interactions of charge particles with electromagnetic waves have important effects (linear and nonlinear) on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and it can somewhat play a role in generation of the new mode waves. Besides, the particle energies can play an important role in causing instability in plasma. The values of parallel energy of the particles have been calculated so that they can ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations in the grand canonical ensemble: Formulation of a bias potential for umbrella sampling
An extended Hamiltonian technique for performing grand canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulations has been reformulated to include umbrella sampling, thus improving the efficiency of particle creation and annihilation processes. This was accomplished through incorporation of a bias potential in the Hamiltonian that modifies the free energy contour between integer particle number states. ...
متن کاملA Rigorous Derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii Energy Functional for a Two-dimensional Bose Gas
We consider the ground state properties of an inhomogeneous twodimensional Bose gas with a repulsive, short range pair interaction and an external confining potential. In the limit when the particle number N is large but ρ̄a2 is small, where ρ̄ is the average particle density and a the scattering length, the ground state energy and density are rigorously shown to be given to leading order by a Gr...
متن کاملIn-Medium Effective Axial-Vector Coupling Constant
The axial-vector coupling constant in nuclear medium is systematically studied using chiral perturbation theory. For normal nuclear matter, the first non-trivial corrections are estimated based on the independent particle approximation taking into account nuclear correlations in nuclear medium. The one-pion-exchange (OPE) two-body interactions turn out to enhance the coupling constant by δgA/gA...
