Hartree - Fock gradients for periodic systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the theory of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems as implemented in the code CRYSTAL. We demonstrate how derivatives of the integrals can be computed with the McMurchie-Davidson algorithm. Highly accurate gradients with respect to nuclear coordinates are obtained for systems periodic in 0,1,2 or 3 dimensions.

Implementation of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems
We describe the implementation of analytical Hartree-Fock gradients for periodic systems in the code CRYSTAL, emphasizing the technical aspects of this task. The code is now capable of calculating analytical derivatives with respect to nuclear coordinates for systems periodic in 0, 1, 2 and 3 dimensions (i.e. molecules, polymers, slabs and solids). Both closed-shell restricted and unrestricted ...
متن کاملMagnetization in short-period mesoscopic electron systems
We calculate the magnetization of the two-dimensional electron gas in a short-period lateral superlattice, with the Coulomb interaction included in Hartree and Hartree-Fock approximations. We compare the results for a finite, mesoscopic system modulated by a periodic potential, with the results for the infinite periodic system. In addition to the expected strong exchange effects, the size of th...
متن کاملRobust Periodic Hartree-Fock Exchange for Large-Scale Simulations Using Gaussian Basis Sets.
Hartree-Fock exchange with a truncated Coulomb operator has recently been discussed in the context of periodic plane-waves calculations [Spencer, J.; Alavi, A. Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, 2008, 77, 193110]. In this work, this approach is extended to Gaussian basis sets, leading to a stable and accurate procedure for evaluating Hartree-Fock exchange at the Γ-point. Furthermore, it has been found ...
متن کاملAb initio Hartree-Fock for periodic helical systems
Atom centred ab initio Hartree-Fock is introduced for periodic systems with helical symmetry. Such a structure is decomposed as a product of two crystal sub-groups, one of which being cyclic. This enables the Fock matrix of a finite cluster of cells to be Fourier transformed into a block diagonal form. The diagonalisation is performed on the sub-matrices and the mean field experienced by the ce...
متن کاملMultireference configuration interaction treatment of excited-state electron correlation in periodic systems: the band structure of trans-polyacetylene
A systematic method to account for electron correlation in periodic systems which can predict quantitatively correct band structures of non-conducting solids from first principles is presented. Using localized Hartree-Fock orbitals (both occupied and virtual ones), an effective Hamiltonian is built up whose matrix elements can easily be transferred from finite to infinite systems. To describe t...
