All-electron quantum Monte Carlo calculations for the noble gas atoms He to Xe.

چکیده
We report all-electron variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (VMC and DMC) calculations for the noble gas atoms He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. The calculations were performed using Slater-Jastrow wave functions with Hartree-Fock single-particle orbitals. The quality of both the optimized Jastrow factors and the nodal surfaces of the wave functions declines with increasing atomic number Z, but the DMC calculations are tractable and well behaved in all cases. We discuss the scaling of the computational cost of DMC calculations with Z.

It was recently found from ab initio investigations J. L. F. Da Silva et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 066104 2003 that polarization effects and the site dependence of the Pauli repulsion largely dictate the nature of the interaction and the site preference of Xe adatoms on close-packed metal surfaces. It is unclear if the same interaction mechanism occurs for all rare-gas atoms adsorbed on such su...

In this paper we have down three theoretical study by using Monte Carlo simulation and Mm+,AMBER and OPLS force field. The calculations were carried out using Hyper Chem professional,release 7.01 package of program. first we have studied the interaction of H2 molecule and He atomwith single-walled carbon nanotube at different temperature. For doing this study we placed H2 andHe in the center an...
متن کاملReactivity and regioselectivity of noble gas endohedral fullerenes Ng@C(60) and Ng(2)@C(60) (Ng=He-Xe).
Recently, it was shown that genuine Ng-Ng chemical bonds are present in the endohedral fullerenes Ng(2)@C(60) in the case of Ng=Xe, while it is more debatable whether a chemical bond exist for Ng=Ar and Kr. The lighter homologues with helium and neon are weakly bonded van der Waals complexes. The presence of a noble gas dimer inside the cage is expected to modify the exohedral reactivity of the...

متن کاملEvaluation of Dynamical Spectra for Zero-temperature Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations: Hubbard Lat- Tices and Continuous Systems
Dynamical spectra for Hubbard lattices and simple atoms are obtained using ground state projection (zero-temperature) quantum Monte Carlo and the maximum entropy method. For Hubbard lattices we show that results are equivalent to those obtained from maximum entropy deconvolutions of low-temperature grand canonical quantum Monte Carlo data. These calculations are resolution limited and fail to p...
