Approximate relativistic electronic structure methods based on the quaternion modified Dirac equation

چکیده
New implementations of the Lévy–Leblond, zeroth-order regular approach ~ZORA! and spin-free Dirac equation are presented within the framework of the four-component relativistic program system DIRAC. This implementation allows systematic incorporation of relativistic effects at different levels of theory and corresponding computational cost. One of the possibilities of the new code is to neglect the effect of spin–orbit coupling in the orbital optimization process and introduce it in a later stage of the calculation. This method is shown to be unstable despite the boundedness of the spin–orbit operator itself. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~00!30434-2#

متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...

We present a weak-relativistic limit comparison between the Kohn-Sham-Dirac equation and its approximate form containing the exchange coupling, which is used in almost all relativistic codes of density-functional theory. For these two descriptions, an exact expression of the Dirac Green’s function in terms of the nonrelativistic Green’s function is first derived and then used to calculate the e...

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
متن کاملGaussian Beam Methods for the Dirac Equation in the Semi-classical Regime
The Dirac equation is an important model in relativistic quantum mechanics. In the semi-classical regime ε≪1, even a spatially spectrally accurate time splitting method [6] requires the mesh size to be O(ε), which makes the direct simulation extremely expensive. In this paper, we present the Gaussian beam method for the Dirac equation. With the help of an eigenvalue decomposition, the Gaussian ...
