Recursive density-matrix perturbation theory [A.M.N. Niklasson and M. Challacombe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 193001 (2004)] provides an efficient framework for the linear scaling computation of materials response properties [V. Weber, A.M.N. Niklasson, and M. Challacombe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 193002 (2004)]. In this article, we generalize the density-matrix perturbation theory to include properties computed with a perturbation-dependent nonorthogonal basis. Such properties include analytic derivatives of the energy with respect to nuclear displacement, as well as magnetic response computed with a field-dependent basis. The theory is developed in the context of linear scaling purification methods, which are briefly reviewed.  相似文献

In this article we explain how the existing linear response theory of time-dependent density-functional theory can be extended to obtain excitation energies in the framework of time-dependent current-density-functional theory. We use the Vignale-Kohn current-functional [G. Vignale and W. Kohn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2037 (1996)] which has proven to be successful for describing ultranonlocal exchange-correlation effects in the case of the axial polarizability of molecular chains [M. van Faassen, P. L. de Boeij, R. van Leeuwen, J. A. Berger, and J. G. Snijders, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 186401 (2002); J. Chem. Phys. 118, 1044 (2003)]. We study a variety of singlet excitations for a benchmark set of molecules. The pi(*)<--pi transitions obtained with the Vignale-Kohn functional are in good agreement with experiment and other theoretical results and they are in general an improvement upon the adiabatic local density approximation. In case of the pi(*)<--n transitions the Vignale-Kohn functional fails, giving results that strongly overestimate the experimental and other theoretical results. The benchmark set also contains some other types of excitations for which no clear failures or improvements are observed.  相似文献

Density functional theory as proposed by Rosenfeld [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 980 (1989)] is used to study hard sphere mixture exposed by cylindrically symmetric external field. Exploiting the symmetry of the system, explicit formulas for the weighted densities are derived. The resulting density profiles are compared with new grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The comparison reveals very good agreement between the predicted and simulated results even at high densities and very narrow pores. Finally, simple algorithms for computing complete elliptic functions of the first and second kinds that occur in the derived formulae are presented to make the paper self-contained.  相似文献

Several variational principles that have been proposed for nonequilibrium systems are analyzed. These include the principle of minimum rate of entropy production due to Prigogine [Introduction to Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes (Interscience, New York, 1967)], the principle of maximum rate of entropy production, which is common on the internet and in the natural sciences, two principles of minimum dissipation due to Onsager [Phys. Rev. 37, 405 (1931)] and to Onsager and Machlup [Phys. Rev. 91, 1505 (1953)], and the principle of maximum second entropy due to Attard [J. Chem.. Phys. 122, 154101 (2005); Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 8, 3585 (2006)]. The approaches of Onsager and Attard are argued to be the only viable theories. These two are related, although their physical interpretation and mathematical approximations differ. A numerical comparison with computer simulation results indicates that Attard's expression is the only accurate theory. The implications for the Langevin and other stochastic differential equations are discussed.  相似文献

The purpose of this short paper is to present an alternative fundamental measure theory (FMT) for hard sphere mixtures. Keeping the main features of the original Rosenfeld's FMT [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 980 (1989)] and using the dimensional and the low-density limit conditions a new functional is derived incorporating Boublik's multicomponent extension [Mol. Phys. 59, 371 (1986)] of highly accurate Kolafa's equation of state for pure hard spheres. We test the theory for pure hard spheres and hard sphere mixtures near a planar hard wall and compare the results with the original Rosenfeld's FMT and one of its modifications and with new very accurate simulation data. The test reveals an excellent agreement between the results based on the alternative FMT and simulation data for density profile near a contact and some improvement over the original Rosenfeld's FMT and its modification at the contact region.  相似文献

Our generalized Keldysh theory is applied to the simplest many-electron atom, helium atom. For the single ionization (He-->He(+)+e) we derive a compact rate formula, which does not contain any series summation or integral and thus is as simple as the Ammosov-Delone-Krainov ionization rates. In addition to its simplicity, our formula can explicitly show the wavelength dependence. Furthermore a simple form of the angular distribution of the photoelectron is available. Our compact formula agrees well with both the exact numerical calculations [A. Scrinzi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 706 (1999)] and experimental data [B. Walker et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1227 (1994)] in the intensity range of I<5x10(15) Wcm(2). In higher intensity regions, we suggest to utilize another simple formula which is valid in the tunneling limit.  相似文献

We revise the earlier [R. L. Davidchack and B. B. Laird, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4751 (2000)] direct calculation of the hard sphere solid-liquid interfacial free energy by the cleaving walls method. The revisions of the method include modified interactions with the cleaving walls and the use of a nonequilibrium work measurements approach, which allows for a more robust control of the accuracy of the obtained results. We find that the new values are lower compared to the original ones, which is consistent with the more recent indirect estimates based on extrapolation from the soft-sphere results [R. L. Davidchack and B. B. Laird, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 086102 (2005)], as well as those obtained using the capillary fluctuations method [R. L. Davidchack, J. R. Morris, and B. B. Laird, J. Chem. Phys. 125, 094710 (2006)].  相似文献

Intermediate scattering functions are measured for colloidal hard sphere systems using both dynamic light scattering and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. We compare the techniques, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. Both techniques agree in the overlapping range of scattering vectors. We investigate the scaling behavior found by Segré and Pusey [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 771 (1996)] but challenged by Lurio et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 785 (2000)]. We observe a scaling behavior over several decades in time but not in the long-time regime. Moreover, we do not observe long-time diffusive regimes at scattering vectors away from the peak of the structure factor and so question the existence of long-time diffusion coefficients at these scattering vectors.  相似文献

We discuss possibilities and challenges for describing correlated electron and nuclear dynamics within a surface-hopping framework using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for the electron dynamics. We discuss the recent surface-hopping method proposed by Craig et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 163001 (2005)] that is based on Kohn-Sham potential energy surfaces. Limitations of this approach arise due to the Kohn-Sham surfaces generally having different gradients than the true TDDFT-corrected ones. Two mechanisms of the linear response procedure cause this effect: we illustrate these with examples.  相似文献

The variationally stable method of Gao and Starace [B. Gao and A. F. Starace, Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 404 (1988); Phys. Rev. A 39, 4550 (1989)] has been applied for the first time to the study of multiphoton processes in molecular systems. The generalization in theory is presented, as well as the calculation of properties such as the static and dynamic polarizabilities of the hydrogen molecule and the generalized two-photon ionization cross section. The Schwinger variational iterative method [R. R. Lucchese and V. McKoy, Phys. Rev. A 21, 112 (1980)] has been applied in the achievement of the photoelectron wave function, while a Hartree-Fock representation has been used for the target. This research has been motivated by the scarceness of ab initio calculations of molecular multiphoton ionization cross sections in the literature.  相似文献

Within a generic model, we discuss the possibility of coherent control of charge fluxes in unbiased molecular junctions. The control is induced by resonances between the Rabi frequency due to a pumping laser field and internal characteristic frequencies of pre-designed molecular donor-bridge-acceptor complexes. Two models are considered: a coherently controlled molecular charge pump and a molecular switch. The study generalizes previous consideration of light induced current [M. Galperin and A. Nitzan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 206802 (2005)] and of a molecular electron pump [R. Volkovich and U. Peskin, Phys. Rev. B 83, 033403 (2011)] and accounts for the coherently driven charge transport in an unbiased molecular junction with symmetric coupling to leads. Numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility of the control mechanism for realistic junctions parameters.  相似文献

Prompted by the very recent claim that the volleyball-shaped B(80) fullerene [X. Wang, Phys. Rev. B 82, 153409 (2010)] is lower in energy than the B(80) buckyball [N. G. Szwacki, A. Sadrzadeh, and B. I. Yakobson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 166804 (2007)] and core-shell structure [J. Zhao, L. Wang, F. Li, and Z. Chen, J. Phys. Chem. A 114, 9969 (2010)], and inspired by the most recent finding of another core-shell isomer as the lowest energy B(80) isomer [S. De, A. Willand, M. Amsler, P. Pochet, L. Genovese, and S. Goedecher, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 225502 (2011)], we carefully evaluated the performance of the density functional methods in the energetics of boron clusters and confirmed that the core-shell construction (stuffed fullerene) is thermodynamically the most favorable structural pattern for B(80). Our global minimum search showed that both B(101) and B(103) also prefer a core-shell structure and that B(103) can reach the complete core-shell configuration. We called for great attention to the theoretical community when using density functionals to investigate boron-related nanomaterials.  相似文献

It is shown that the discrepancy between path integral Monte Carlo [M. Zoppi et al., Phys. Rev. B 65, 092204 (2002)] and path integral centroid molecular dynamics [F. J. Bermejo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5359 (2000)] calculations of the static structure factor of liquid para-hydrogen can be explained based on a deconvolution equation connecting centroid and physical radial distribution functions. An explicit expression for the kernel of the deconvolution equation has been obtained using functional derivative techniques. In the superposition approximation, this kernel is given by the functional derivative of the effective potential with respect to the pairwise classical potential. Results of path integral Monte Carlo calculations for the radial distribution function and the static structure factor of liquid para-hydrogen are presented.  相似文献

We present a derivation of the Jarzynski [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2690 (1997)] identity and the Crooks [J. Stat. Phys. 90, 1481 (1998)] fluctuation theorem for systems governed by deterministic dynamics that conserves the canonical distribution such as Hamiltonian dynamics, Nose-Hoover dynamics, Nose-Hoover chains, and Gaussian isokinetic dynamics. The proof is based on a relation between the heat absorbed by the system during the nonequilibrium process and the Jacobian of the phase flow generated by the dynamics.  相似文献

The structures of nonuniform binary hard-sphere mixtures and the correlation functions of uniform ternary hard-sphere mixtures were studied using a modified fundamental-measure theory based on the weight functions of Rosenfeld [Rosenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 980 (1989)] and Boublik-Mansoori-Carnahan-Starling-Leland equation of state [Boublik, J. Chem. Phys. 53, 471 (1970); Mansoori et al., J. Chem. Phys. 54, 1523 (1971)]. The theoretical predictions agreed very well with the molecular simulations for the overall density profiles, the local compositions, and the radial distribution functions of uniform as well as inhomogeneous hard-sphere mixtures. The density functional theory was further extended to represent the structure of a polydisperse hard-sphere fluid near a hard wall. Excellent agreement was also achieved between theory and Monte Carlo simulations. The density functional theory predicted oscillatory size segregations near a hard wall for a polydisperse hard-sphere fluid of a uniform size distribution.  相似文献

The recently proposed Harbola–Sahni local potential in its exchange-only version [Phys. Rev. Lett. 62 , 689 (1989)] is found to give the static dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities for the Neisoelectronic series in excellent agreement with the corresponding Hartree–Fock estimates. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

We present a simplified implementation of the non-local van der Waals correlation functional introduced by Dion et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] and reformulated by Román-Pérez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 096102 (2009)]. The proposed numerical approach removes the logarithmic singularity of the kernel function. Complete expressions of the self-consistent correlation potential and of the stress tensor are given. Combined with various choices of exchange functionals, five versions of van der Waals density functionals are implemented. Applications to the computation of the interaction energy of the benzene-water complex and to the computation of the equilibrium cell parameters of the benzene crystal are presented. As an example of crystal structure calculation involving a mixture of hydrogen bonding and dispersion interactions, we compute the equilibrium structure of two polymorphs of aspirin (2-acetoxybenzoic acid, C(9)H(8)O(4)) in the P2(1)/c monoclinic structure.  相似文献

Holas and March [Phys. Rev. A. 51, 2040 (1995)] gave a formally exact theory for the exchange-correlation (xc) force F(xc)(r)= -inverted Deltaupsilon(xc)(r) associated with the xc potential upsilon(xc)(r) of the density-functional theory in terms of low-order density matrices. This is shown in the present study to lead, rather directly, to the determination of a sum rule nF(xc)=0 relating the xc force with the ground-state density n(r). Some connection is also made with an earlier result relating to the external potential by Levy and Perdew [Phys. Rev. A. 32, 2010 (1985)] and with the quite recent study of Joubert [J. Chem. Phys. 119, 1916 (2003)] relating to the separation of the exchange and correlation contributions.  相似文献

The density matrix (DM) obtained from Yang's [Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, 1438 (1991)] divide-and-conquer (DC) Hartree-Fock (HF) calculation is applied to the explicit second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) energy functional of the HF DM, which was firstly mentioned by Ayala and Scuseria [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 3660 (1999)] and was improved by Surján [Chem. Phys. Lett. 406, 318 (2005)] as DM-Laplace MP2. This procedure, termed DC-DM MP2, requires the HF DM of holes, for which we propose two evaluation schemes in DC manner. Numerical studies reveal that the DC-DM MP2 energy deviation from canonical MP2 is the same order of magnitude as DC-HF energy deviation from conventional HF whichever type of hole DM is adopted. It is also confirmed that the central processing unit time of DC-DM MP2 is less than that of DM-Laplace MP2 because the DC-HF DM is sparser than conventional DM.  相似文献

In the Thomas–Fermi (TF) regime, S. Stringari [Phys. Rev. Lett., 77, 2360 (1996)] established the hydrodynamic normal modes of an interacting dilute Bose-condensed fluid confined in an isotropic harmonic trap. Here, we extend this treatment beyond the TF condensate using the work of B. Hu, G. Huang and Y. Ma [Phys. Rev. A, 69, 063608 (2004)] as a starting point. Both numerical results for low-lying eigenfrequencies, for various angular momentum quantum numbers???and n?=?0, and also samples of corresponding eigenfunctions, are presented. Finally, eigenfrequencies are also given for some collective excitations in an axially symmetrical trap.  相似文献
