Screened Coulomb interactions in metallic alloys. II. Screening beyond the single-site and atomic-sphere approximations

چکیده
A quantitative description of the configurational part of the total energy of metallic alloys with substantial atomic size difference cannot be achieved in the atomic sphere approximation: It needs to be corrected at least for the multipole moment interactions in the Madelung part of the one-electron potential and energy. In the case of a random alloy such interactions can be accounted for only by lifting the atomic sphere and single-site approximations, in order to include the polarization due to local environment effects. Nevertheless a simple parameterization of the screened Coulomb interactions for the ordinary single-site methods, including the generalized perturbation method, is still possible. We obtained such a parameterization for bulk and surface NiPt alloys, which allows one to obtain quantitatively accurate effective interactions in this system. Typeset using REVTEX

Screened Coulomb interactions in metallic alloys. I. Universal screening in the atomic-sphere approximation
We have used the locally self-consistent Green’s function (LSGF) method in supercell calculations to establish the distribution of the net charges assigned to the atomic spheres of the alloy components in metallic alloys with different compositions and degrees of order. This allows us to determine the Madelung potential energy of a random alloy in the single-site mean field approximation which ...
متن کاملInvestigation of electron correlation effects in armchair silicene nanoribbons
In this study, the electronic structure of armchair silicene nanoribbons (ASiNRs) is investigated for various widths using first-principle calculations and the framework of the density functional theory. Electronic structure of ASiNRs shows a direct band gap which is decreased with increasing the nanoribbon's width, showing an oscillatory behavior. The effective Coulomb interaction between loca...
متن کاملInteratomic repulsion softness directly controls the fragility of supercooled metallic melts.
We present an analytic scheme to connect the fragility and viscoelasticity of metallic glasses to the effective ion-ion interaction in the metal. This is achieved by an approximation of the short-range repulsive part of the interaction, combined with nonaffine lattice dynamics to obtain analytical expressions for the shear modulus, viscosity, and fragility in terms of the ion-ion interaction. B...
متن کاملA Cartesian treecode for screened coulomb interactions
A treecode algorithm is presented for evaluating electrostatic potentials in a charged particle system undergoing screened Coulomb interactions in 3D. The method uses a farfield Taylor expansion in Cartesian coordinates to compute particle–cluster interactions. The Taylor coefficients are evaluated using new recurrence relations which permit efficient computation of high order approximations. T...
متن کاملMetallic screening and correlation effects in superconducting fullerenes.
We consider the frequency dependent Coulomb interaction between electrons in a molecular metal in the limit in which the conduction bandwidth is much less than the plasma frequency, which in turn is much less than intramolecular excitation energies. In particular, we compute the effective interactions at the Fermi energy in alkali-doped C60, to second order in the screened interactions. The fre...
