چکیده

Small displacement methods have been successfully used to calculate the lattice dynamical properties of crystals. It involves displacing atoms by a small amount in order induced forces on all supercell for computation force constants. Even though these are widely use, our knowledge, there is no systematic discussion optimal directions from crystal's symmetry point view nor rigorous error analysis such methods. Based group theory and crystal, we propose directions, with an equivalent concept $k$, deduced directly Cartesian coordinates rather than usual fractional coordinates, that maintain theoretical maximum triple product $V$ spanned three displacements avoid possible severe roundoff errors. The proposed generated minimal set irreducible atomic keep required independent calculations minimum. We find calculated constant explicitly depends inverse inaccuracy forces. Test systems as Si, graphene, orthorhombic Sb2S3 illustrate method. Our method shown be very robust treating low-symmetry cells large `aspect ratio' due huge differences parameters, use vacuum height, or oblique unit cell unconventional choice primitive vectors. expected strategy can address higher-order interatomic interactions achieve good accuracy efficiency.

Approximate Dynamical Symmetry * in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics

We discuss the phenomenological implications of an approximate SU(6) x SU(6) x U(1) symmetry of hadron physics which remains after dynamical symmetry breaking in the strong-coupling lattice gauge theory. This symmetry is similar to but differs in an essential fashion from . previous versions of SU(6) x SU(6) or SU(6)W. The difference resolves some of the problems of the older schemes-for exampl...

A Symmetry Adapted Approach to Vibrational Excitations in Atomic Clusters

An algebraic method especially suited to describe strongly anharmonic vibrational spectra in molecules may be an appropriate framework to study vibrational spectra of Na+n clusters, where nearly flat potential energy surfaces and the appearance of close lying isomers have been reported. As an illustration we describe the model and apply it to the Be4, H + 3 , Be3 and Na + 3 clusters.

Lattice dynamical finite-element method

A lattice dynamical finite-element method (LDFEM) is proposed for multiscale analysis of stressed complex crystals. Interatomic potential is embedded into the constitutive relation within the hyperelasticity framework, and two energy-based lattice instability criteria, the K criterion and the soft phonon criterion, are incorporated into LDFEM for capturing stress-driven instabilities in a perfe...

Formulation and implementation of direct algorithm for the symmetry-adapted cluster and symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction method.

We present a new computational algorithm, called direct algorithm, for the symmetry-adapted cluster (SAC) and SAC-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) methodology for the ground, excited, ionized, and electron-attached states. The perturbation-selection technique and the molecular orbital index based direct sigma-vector algorithm were combined efficiently with the use of the sparse nature of the ...

Dynamical lattice QCD studies of hadron structure

Dynamical lattice QCD studies of form factors, moments of PDFs and GPDs, and many other important observables have seen impressive progress during recent years. They allow us to address a number of fundamental physics questions, for example related to the distribution of charge and momentum inside hadrons and the decomposition of the nucleon spin. This talk illustrates the recent achievements a...
