Ionization potentials of solids: the importance of vertex corrections.
The ionization potential is a fundamental key quantity with great relevance to diverse material properties. We find that state of the art methods based on density functional theory and simple diagrammatic approaches as commonly taken in the GW approximation predict the ionization potentials of semiconductors and insulators unsatisfactorily. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtain...

The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model, which was proposed 50 years ago to examine thermalization in nonmetallic solids and develop "experimental" techniques for studying nonlinear problems, continues to yield a wealth of results in the theory and applications of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems with many degrees of freedom. Inspired by the studies of this seminal model, solitary-wave dynamics in lattic...

متن کاملUsing Wannier functions to improve solid band gap predictions in density functional theory.
Enforcing a straight-line condition of the total energy upon removal/addition of fractional electrons on eigen states has been successfully applied to atoms and molecules for calculating ionization potentials and electron affinities, but fails for solids due to the extended nature of the eigen orbitals. Here we have extended the straight-line condition to the removal/addition of fractional elec...
متن کاملTheory of Gas Ionization by Intense Electromagnetic Fields
The distribution function of the electrons produced in the interaction between an intense electromagnetic wave and a neutral gas is derived and is shown to be nonequilibrium and anisotropic. By assuming that the time scale of gas ionization is much greater than the field period, it is shown that the electron distribution function formed in microwave and optical discharges has sharp anisotropy a...
