Systematic pseudopotentials from reference eigenvalue sets for DFT calculations: Pseudopotential files
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this article a pseudopotential (PP) database for DFT calculations in the context of the SIESTA code [1-3]. Comprehensive optimized PPs in two formats (psf files and input files for ATM program) are provided for 20 chemical elements for LDA and GGA exchange-correlation potentials. Our data represents a validated database of PPs for SIESTA DFT calculations. Extensive transferability tests guarantee the usefulness of these PPs.

Investigation of a Quantum Monte Carlo Protocol To Achieve High Accuracy and High-Throughput Materials Formation Energies.
High-throughput calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) methods have been widely implemented in the scientific community. However, depending on both the properties of interest as well as particular chemical/structural phase space, accuracy even for correct trends remains a key challenge for DFT. In this work, we evaluate the use of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) to calculate material f...
متن کاملBreakdown of the pseudopotential approximation for magnetic systems: Predicting magnetic quenching at the V„001... surface with spin-dependent pseudopotentials
Both experimentally @R.L. Fink et al., Phys. Rev. B 41, 10 175 ~1990!# and using all-electron densityfunctional theory ~DFT! methods, the V~001! surface exhibits little or no magnetization. Very recently, independent pseudopotential DFT calculations demonstrated the breakdown of the pseudopotential approximation, showing large magnetic moments at the surface of a V~001! slab. Here we demonstrat...
متن کاملEnergy-consistent pseudopotentials and correlation consistent basis sets for the 5d elements Hf-Pt.
New relativistic energy-consistent pseudopotentials have been generated for the 5d transition metals Hf-Pt. The adjustment was done in numerical two-component multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations, using atomic valence-energy spectra from four-component multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations as reference data. The resulting two-component pseudopotentials replace the [Kr]4d(10...
متن کاملSystematically convergent basis sets with relativistic pseudopotentials. I. Correlation consistent basis sets for the post-d group 13–15 elements
New correlation consistent-like basis sets have been developed for the post-d group 13–15 elements ~Ga–As, In–Sb, Tl–Bi! employing accurate, small-core relativistic pseudopotentials. The resulting basis sets, which are denoted cc-pVnZ-PP, are appropriate for valence electron correlation and range in size from (8s7p7d)/@4s3p2d# for the cc-pVDZ-PP to (16s13p12d3 f 2g1h)/ @7s7p5d3 f 2g1h# for the ...
متن کاملNonlocal pseudopotentials and magnetic fields.
We show how to describe the coupling of electrons to nonuniform magnetic fields in the framework of the widely used norm-conserving pseudopotential approximation for electronic structure calculations. Our derivation applies to magnetic fields that are smooth on the scale of the core region. The method is validated by application to the calculation of the magnetic susceptibility of molecules wit...
