固体氖的量子蒙特卡罗、密度泛函理论和对势研究

Quantum Monte Carlo, Density Functional Theory, and Pair Potential Studies of Solid Neon

N. D. Drummond, R. J. Needs

摘要:

本文采用量子蒙特卡罗(QMC)、平面波密度泛函理论(DFT)和原子间对势方法计算了固体氖的零温状态方程。我们发现,DFT状态方程强烈依赖于交换相关功能的选择,而QMC状态方程是非常接近的实验状态方程和使用文献中最好的半经验对势得到的状态方程。这表明,QMC是能够给一个准确的处理真实材料中的范德华力,不像DFT。我们计算的QMC EOS非常高的密度,超出了实验数据目前可用的值的范围。在高密度下,QMC状态方程比对势状态方程更精确。我们产生一个不同的对潜在的氖作为一个孤立的氖原子对的分离的函数的QMC能量的直接评价。由此产生的对势比使用耦合簇CCSD(T)方法产生的等效势更准确地再现了EOS。

英文摘要:

We report quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), plane-wave density-functional theory (DFT), and interatomic pair-potential calculations of the zero-temperature equation of state (EOS) of solid neon. We find that the DFT EOS depends strongly on the choice of exchange-correlation functional, whereas the QMC EOS is extremely close to both the experimental EOS and the EOS obtained using the best semiempirical pair potential in the literature. This suggests that QMC is able to give an accurate treatment of van der Waals forces in real materials, unlike DFT. We calculate the QMC EOS up to very high densities, beyond the range of values for which experimental data are currently available. At high densities the QMC EOS is more accurate than the pair-potential EOS. We generate a different pair potential for neon by a direct evaluation of the QMC energy as a function of the separation of an isolated pair of neon atoms. The resulting pair potential reproduces the EOS more accurately than the equivalent potential generated using the coupled-cluster CCSD(T) method.
