Elif Ertekin, Lucas K. Wagner, Jeffrey C. Grossman

摘要:

提出了一种基于高精度量子蒙特卡罗方法计算点缺陷光、热电离能的方法。直接处理电子关联的固有多体理论的使用提供了许多改进,通常采用的密度泛函理论科恩-沙姆描述。特别是,使用量子蒙特卡罗方法可以帮助克服带隙问题,并消除对ad-hoc校正的需要。我们展示了我们的方法来计算的光学和热的电离能的F-中心缺陷的氧化镁,并获得良好的协议与实验和/或其他高精度的计算结果。

英文摘要:

We present an approach to calculation of point defect optical and thermal ionization energies based on the highly accurate quantum Monte Carlo methods. The use of an inherently many-body theory that directly treats electron correlation offers many improvements over the typically-employed density functional theory Kohn-Sham description. In particular, the use of quantum Monte Carlo methods can help overcome the band gap problem and obviate the need for ad-hoc corrections. We demonstrate our approach to the calculation of the optical and thermal ionization energies of the F-center defect in magnesium oxide, and obtain excellent agreement with experimental and/or other high-accuracy computational results.
