ACRES : an efficient method for first - principles electronic structure calculations of complex systems
We discuss our new implementation of the Adaptive Coordinate Real-space Electronic Structure (ACRES) method for studying the atomic and electronic structure of infinite periodic as well as finite systems, based on density functional theory. This improved version aims at making the method widely applicable and efficient, using high performance Fortran on parallel architectures. The scaling of va...
متن کاملMultigrid method for electronic structure calculations
A general real-space multigrid algorithm for the self-consistent solution of the Kohn-Sham equations appearing in the state-of-the-art electronic-structure calculations is described. The most important part of the method is the multigrid solver for the Schrödinger equation. Our choice is the Rayleigh quotient multigrid method ~RQMG!, which applies directly to the minimization of the Rayleigh qu...
متن کاملA first-principles DFT study of UN bulk and (001) surface: Comparative LCAO and PW calculations
LCAO and PW DFT calculations of the lattice constant, bulk modulus, cohesive energy, charge distribution, band structure, and DOS for UN single crystal are analyzed. It is demonstrated that a choice of the uranium atom relativistic effective core potentials considerably affects the band structure and magnetic structure at low temperatures. All calculations indicate mixed metallic-covalent chemi...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculations of the crystal structure, electronic structure, and thermodynamic stability of Be(BH4)2
Alanates and boranates are intensively studied because of their potential use as hydrogen storage materials. In this paper, we present a first-principles study of the electronic structure and the energetics of beryllium boranate Be BH4 2 . From total energy calculations, we show that—in contrast to the other boranates and alanates—hydrogen desorption directly to the elements is likely and is at...
متن کاملAbsolute-energy-minimum principles for linear-scaling electronic-structure calculations
Two absolute energy minimum principles are developed for first-principle linear-scaling electronic structure calculations. One is with a normalization constraint and the other without any constraint. The density matrix is represented by a set of nonorthogonal localized orbitals and an auxiliary matrix which at the minimum becomes a generalized inverse of the overlap matrix of the localized orbi...
