Development of Efficient Electron Correlation Methods for One- and Two-dimensional Extended Systems and Their Applications

Book Description
ABSTRACT: This dissertation is focused on the development of highly accurate electron-correlation methods for one- and two-dimensional periodic systems. For one-dimensional systems, atomic-orbital based many-body perturbation theory and coupled cluster theory are developed and applied to polyacetylene and lithium-hydride model chain. Use of atomic orbitals instead of conventional crystalline (molecular) orbitals enables us to control runtime and accuracy of the calculation. The gain in the atomic-orbital based coupled cluster method originates from the locality and sparsity of matrices needed in the framework of the theory. Provided, efficient sparse matrix-matrix multiplication routines, we obtain good estimates of the correlation energy much faster than the conventional method for large systems. 90 percent of the correlation energy can be recovered very quickly, and 2 to 3 digit accuracy can be obtained for polymers with relatively simple unit cells such as polyacetylene. The formalism behind the atomic-orbital based coupled cluster theory is applicable for both large molecular systems and periodic systems. Formal aspects of the atomic-orbital based coupled cluster theory are discussed and correspondence between the atomic-orbital based framework and crystalline (molecular) orbital based framework are shown. Two-dimensional code development is based on Hartree-Fock and density functional theories due to the fact that coupled-cluster theory is too costly. Efficient inclusion of the Coulomb effects by the fast multipole method and analytical gradient techniques are the core elements that contribute robustness and computational efficiency for two-dimensional systems. The fast multipole method is an algorithm to include the long-range Coulomb effects for uniform systems with linear-scaling costs for molecular systems and with logarithmic scaling for infinite periodic systems. The analytical gradient technique is a powerful tool when optimized geometries or vibrational frequencies are computed. If optimum geometries or vibrational frequencies are required, then analytical gradients are for all practical purposes, a necessity.

Short-range and Long-range Electron Correlation in Matter
Author: David Gerard Prendergast
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electrons
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Short- and long-range electron correlations is investigated using new forms of correlated electron trial wave functions in quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The goal of this thesis is to develop new computational methods which enable the determination of the optimal electron correlation factor in a numerical trial wave function such that the expectation value of the system Hamiltonian, i.e., the total energy, is minimized. The effect of the electron-electron cusp on the convergence of configuration interaction (CI) wave functions is examined. By analogy with the pseudopotential approach for electron-ion interactions, an effective electron-electron interaction is developed which closely reproduces the scattering of the Coulomb interaction but is smooth and finite at zero electron-electron separation. The exact many-electron wave function for this smooth effective interaction has no cusp at zero electron-electron separation. We perform CI and quantum Monte Carlo calculations for He and Be atoms, both with the Coulomb electron-electron interaction and with the smooth effective electron-electron interaction. We find that convergence of the CI expansion of the wave function for the smooth electron-electron interaction is not significantly improved compared with that for the divergent Coulomb interaction for energy differences on the order of 1 mHartree. This shows that, contrary to popular belief, description of the electron-electron cusp is not a limiting factor, to within chemical accuracy, for CI calculations.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
The Tum of the Tide During centuries physicists were supposed to be studying the physical world. Since the turn of the century this assumption has often been challenged as naive: it was proclaimed that physics is not about the external world but about observers and their manipUlations: that it is meaningless to talk of anything else than observation devices and opera tions: that the laws of physics concern our knowledge rather than the external world. This view of the nature of physical science has old roots in philo sophy but it was independently reinvented by a number of philosophi cally inclined physicists, notably ERNST MACH. These scientists were disgusted with the school philosophies and they were alarmed by the increasing number of physical concepts which they regarded as meta physical or beyond experimental control, such as those of absolute motion, ether, electromagnetic field, and molecule. Reasonably enough, they wished to keep physics testable. To accomplish this goal they adopted the safe method, namely to banish every idea that could not be closely tied to observation. In this way they certainly avoided the risks of untestable speculation but they also failed to enjoy the benefits of theoretical invention. Furthermore they instituted unawares a new meta physics that was to dominate the philosophy of physics for half a century: the metaphysics according to which the world is made of sense experience.
