Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

متن کاملQuantum Transport Modeling and Simulation for Atomic Scale Two-Dimensional Materials
I will describe some of our efforts to describe the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials (including graphene and the transition metal chalcogenides) using localized atomic orbitals, going from a purely first-principles perspective, where localized orbitals are used as a basis set for Density Functional Theory calculations with favorable scaling (compared to standard plane wave calc...
متن کاملNearly flatbands with nontrivial topology.
We report the theoretical discovery of a class of 2D tight-binding models containing nearly flatbands with nonzero Chern numbers. In contrast with previous studies, where nonlocal hoppings are usually required, the Hamiltonians of our models only require short-range hopping and have the potential to be realized in cold atomic gases. Because of the similarity with 2D continuum Landau levels, the...
متن کاملPerspective 39 TOWARDS A COHERENT TREATMENT OF THE SELF-CONSISTENCY AND THE ENVIRONMENT-DEPENDENCY IN A SEMI-EMPIRICAL HAMILTONIAN FOR MATERIALS SIMULATION
The construction of semi-empirical Hamiltonians for materials that have the predictive power is an urgent task in materials simulation. This task is necessitated by the bottleneck encountered in using density functional theory (DFT)-based molecular dynamics (MD) schemes for the determination of structural properties of materials. Although DFT/MD schemes are expected to have predictive power, th...
