The Faddeev random phase approximation (FRPA) method is applied to calculate the ground state and ionization energies of simple atoms. First ionization energies agree with the experiment at the level of ~10 mH or less. Calculations with similar accuracy are expected to provide information required for developing the proposed quasiparticle-DFT method.
We present a detailed discussion of self-energy embedding theory (SEET) which is a quantum embedding scheme allowing us to describe a chosen subsystem very accurately while keeping the description of the environment at a lower cost. We apply SEET to molecular examples where commonly our chosen subsystem is made out of a set of strongly correlated orbitals while the weakly correlated orbitals constitute an environment. Such a self-energy separation is very general and to make this procedure applicable to multiple systems a detailed and practical procedure for the evaluation of the system and en…
We investigate the energetics of the atom exchange reaction in the SrF+alkali-metal atom and CaF+alkali-metal atom systems. Such reactions are possible only for collisions of SrF and CaF with the lithium atoms, while they are energetically forbidden for other alkali-metal atoms. Specifically, we focus on SrF interacting with Li, Rb, and Sr atoms and use ab initio methods to demonstrate that the SrF+Li and SrF+Sr reactions are barrierless. We present potential energy surfaces for the interaction of the SrF molecule with the Li, Rb, and Sr atoms in their energetically lowest-lying electronic spi…
Nuclear structure theory has recently gone through a major renewal with the development of ab initio techniques that can be applied to a large number of atomic nuclei, well beyond the light sector that had been traditionally targeted in the past. Self-consistent Green's function theory is one among these techniques. The present work aims to give an overview of the self-consistent Green's function approach for atomic nuclei, including examples of recent applications and a discussion on the perspectives for extending the method to nuclear reactions, doubly open-shell systems and heavy nuclei.
Green technologies rely on green solvents and fluids. Among them, supercritical CO2 already finds many important applications. The molecular level understanding of the dynamics and structure of this supercritical fluid is a prerequisite to rational design of future green technologies. Unfortunately, the commonly employed Kohn-Sham DFT is too computationally demanding to produce meaningfully converged dynamics within a reasonable time and with a reasonable computational effort. Thanks to subsystem DFT, we analyze finite-size effects by considering simulations cells of varying sizes (up to 256 i…
Machine learning methods have nowadays become easy-to-use tools for constructing high-dimensional interatomic potentials with ab initio accuracy. Although machine learned interatomic potentials are generally orders of magnitude faster than first-principles calculations, they remain much slower than classical force fields, at the price of using more complex structural descriptors. To bridge this efficiency gap, we propose an embedded atom neural network approach with simple piecewise switching function based descriptors, resulting in a favorable linear scaling with the number of neighbor atoms.…

On the basis of ab initio quantum mechanics (QM) calculation, the obtained electron heat capacity is implemented into energy equation of electron subsystem in two temperature model (TTM). Upon laser irradiation on the copper film, energy transfer from the electron subsystem to the lattice subsystem is modeled by including the electron-phonon coupling factor in molecular dynamics (MD) and TTM coupled simulation. The results show temperature and thermal melting difference between the QM-MD-TTM integrated simulation and pure MD-TTM coupled simulation. The successful construction of the QM-MD-TTM …
Creating accurate, analytic atom--atom potentials for small organic molecules from first principles can be a time-consuming and computationally intensive task, particularly if we also require them to include explicit polarization terms, which are essential in many systems. In this first part of a two-part investigation, we describe how the {\sc CamCASP} suite of programs can be used to generate such potentials using some of the most accurate electronic structure methods currently applicable. In particular, we derive the long-range terms from monomer properties, and determine the short-range an…
An {\it ab initio} relativistic coupled-cluster theory of dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities: Applications to a few alkali atoms and alkaline earth ions
In Part I of this two-part investigation we described a methodology for the development of robust, analytic, many-body atom-atom potentials for small organic molecules from first principles and demonstrated how the CamCASP program can be used to derive the damped, distributed multipole models for pyridine. Here we demonstrate how the theoretical ideas for the short-range models described in Part I, which are implemented in the CamCASP suite of programs, can be used to develop a series of many-body potentials for the pyridine system. Even the simplest of these potentials exhibit r.m.s. errors o…
Molecular fingerprints, i.e. feature vectors describing atomistic neighborhood configurations, is an important abstraction and a key ingredient for data-driven modeling of potential energy surface and interatomic force. In this paper, we present the Density-Encoded Canonically Aligned Fingerprint (DECAF) fingerprint algorithm, which is robust and efficient, for fitting per-atom scalar and vector quantities. The fingerprint is essentially a continuous density field formed through the superimposition of smoothing kernels centered on the atoms. Rotational invariance of the fingerprint is achieved…
