Numerical Methods for Electronic Structure Calculations of Materials
The goal of this article is to give an overview of numerical problems encountered when determining the electronic structure of materials and the rich variety of techniques used to solve these problems. The paper is intended for a diverse scientific computing audience. For this reason, we assume the reader does not have an extensive background in the related physics. Our overview focuses on the ...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for Electronic Structures Calculations
My research interests are in scientific computing, specifically, nonlinear equations, nonlinear optimization, and unstructured meshing. There are many application domains in which algorithms in these areas play an important role such as electronic structures calculations, cardiology, and nonlinear elasticity. The main goal of my resesarch is, then, to identify and understand the mathematical pr...
متن کاملAssessment of density matrix methods for electronic structure calculations ∗
Purification and minimization methods for computation of the one-particle density matrix are compared. This is done by considering the work needed by each method to achieve a given accuracy in terms of the difference to the exact solution. Simulations employing orthogonal as well as non-orthogonal versions of the methods are performed using both element magnitude and cutoff radius based truncat...
متن کاملAtomic spectral methods for molecular electronic structure calculations.
Theoretical methods are reported for ab initio calculations of the adiabatic (Born-Oppenheimer) electronic wave functions and potential energy surfaces of molecules and other atomic aggregates. An outer product of complete sets of atomic eigenstates familiar from perturbation-theoretical treatments of long-range interactions is employed as a representational basis without prior enforcement of a...
متن کاملWavelets for electronic structure calculations
In 2005, the EU FP6-STREP-NEST BigDFT project funded a consortium of four laboratories, with the aim of developing a novel approach for Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations based on Daubechies wavelets. Rather than simply building a DFT code from scratch, the objective of this three-years project was to test the potential benefit of a new formalism in the context of electronic structure...
