Efficient implementation of restricted active space configuration interaction with the hole and particle approximation

The restricted active space configuration interaction (RASCI) formalism with the hole and particle truncation of the wavefunction, that is, RASCI(h,p), holds very nice properties such as balanced treatment of ground and low‐lying excited states, spin‐completeness, large flexibility of the wavefunction, and moderate computational cost. In this article, I present a new implementation of the RASCI(h,p) method using a general algorithm based on the integral‐driven approach. The new implementation allows to choose any electronic configuration as the single reference in combination with an excitation operator with any number of ionization, electron attachment, or spin‐flip (SF) excitations. The applicability and good performance of the new computational code is tested in the ground state calculation of water molecule with increasingly large active spaces and up to the full‐CI limit, the calculation of all‐trans linear polyenes with variable number of SF excitations, and the low‐lying states of fluorine molecule with a double‐ionization potential operator. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

非血红素配合物[FeⅣ(O)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+与[FeⅣ(O)(TMCS)]+的几何结构、电子结构、成键性和反应活性比较

采用密度泛函理论计算了[FeⅣ(O)(TMC)(NCMe)]2+ 和[FeⅣ(O)(TMCS)]+的电子结构、反应活性和Fe—O的成键性. 几何构型的优化采用非限制性的B3LYP混合密度泛函方法, 重原子Fe的优化采用是LanL2dZ基组, C, H, O, N和S的优化采用TZV基组, 理论计算结果与实验结果相符. 通过对轨道系数和键级的分析发现, TMC配位基对Fe—O的π键几乎没有影响. 由于竖直方向的硫甲基配位基的轨道与Fe的3d轨道具有较强的重迭, 而乙腈配位基作为轴向配体时, 这种重迭则小得多, 导致了两种配合物在电子结构和反应活性上存在一定的差别.

Al12N、Al12B团簇结构和电子性质的密度泛函计算

利用密度泛函理论研究了Al12N和Al12B团簇的原子结构和电子性质,通过各种异构体的比较,发现两种掺杂团簇的最低能量结构都是完好的二十面体(Ih)结构,N(B)原子占据在二十面体的中心.高对称性团簇形成稀疏离散的电子态密度和大的电子能隙.在Al-N之间发生较大的电荷转移.因此我们建议把Al12N团簇看作是碱金属超原子,Al12B团簇看作是卤素超原子,用来构造团簇组装固体.     

Electronic structure,ferroelectricity and optical properties of CaBi<Subscript>2</Subscript>Ta<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>9</Subscript>

Using first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory in its local-density approximation, we investigated the Electronic structure, ferroelectricity and optical properties of CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ (CBT) for the first time. It is found that CBT compound has an indirect band gap of 3.114 eV and the O 2s and 2p states are strongly hybridized with the 6s states of Bi which belong to the (Bi₂O₂)²⁺ planes. The quite strong Ta–O and Bi–O hybridization is the primary source for ferroelectricity. Our results imply that the interaction between Bi and O is highly covalent. The anisotropy occurs mainly above 4 eV in the optical properties. The different optical properties have been discussed.     

Algebraic structure of quantum fluctuations

On the basis of the existence of second and third moments of fluctuations, we prove a theorem about the Lie-algebraic structure of fluctuation operators. This result gives insight into the quantum character of fluctuations. We illustrate the presence of a Lie algebra of fluctuation operators in a model of the anharmonic crystal, and show the dependence of the Lie-algebra structure on the fine structure of the fluctuation operator algebra. The result is also applied to construct the normal Goldstone mode in the ideal Bose gas for Bose-Einstein condensation     

Electronic structure of EuPtSi3 studied from the first principles calculation

We investigate the electronic structure of EuPtSi₃ using full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. We reproduce the observed easy axis of magnetization as well as magnetic moment and propose that the magnetic configuration for this compound is incommensurate or noncollinear. We find that the spin configuration has only negligible effect on the band around Fermi energy. EuPtSi₃ and its isostructural superconductor BaPtSi₃ have similar band structures. Despite the shorter Pt-Si bond, EuPtSi₃ possesses larger density of state near the Fermi energy compared with BaPtSi₃, thus the structural difference and the associated difference in band structure cannot explain the non-superconductivity of EuPtSi₃.

On diquark clustering in quark—gluon plasma

The possibility that pairs of quarks will form diquark clusters in the regime above deconfinement transition for hadron matter at finite density is revisited. Here we present the results on the diquark-diquark (dq-dq) interaction in the framework of constituent quark model taking account of spin, isospin and color degrees of freedom in the spirit of generalized Pauli principle. By constructing the appropriate spin and color states of the dq-dq clusters we compute the expectation values of the interaction Hamiltonian involving pairwise quark—quark interaction. We find that the effective interaction between two diquark clusters is quite sensitive to different configurations characterized by color and spin states, obtained after the coupling of two diquark states. The value of the coupling parameter for a particular color—spin state, i.e., -3, 1 is compared to the one obtained earlier by Donoghue and Sateesh,Phys. Rev. D38, 360 (1988) based on the effective Φ⁴-theory. This new value of λ derived for different color-spin dq-dq states, may lead to several important implications in the studies of diquark star and diquark gas.
