高压缩固体氦中三体相互作用的第一性原理模拟

First-principles modeling of three-body interactions in highly compressed solid helium

Claudio Cazorla, Jordi Boronat

摘要:

基于Bruch-McGee(BM)势提出了一套新的三体相互作用模型,该模型适用于高压下固体4 He的能量、结构和弹性性质的研究.我们的从头算三体势得到的总能量和原子力计算与范德瓦尔斯密度泛函理论方法由于Grimme的配合,并代表了改进相对于以前报道的三体相互作用模型。特别是,我们发现,一些引进BM参数化密切再现实验状态方程和固体氦的体积模量高达~ 60 GPa的压力,当与标准的成对相互作用模型在扩散蒙特卡罗模拟结合使用。重要的是,我们发现,最近的预测报告一个令人惊讶的小变化的动能和林德曼比的量子晶体在不断增加的压力下很可能是文物所产生的使用不完整的相互作用模型。此外,我们表明,剪切模量的实验变化,C44,在P < 25 GPa,可以定量描述与新的一套三体BM势。然而,在较高的压力下,我们的C44结果和实验之间的协议恶化,因此我们认为,高阶多体项的原子相互作用的扩展可能是必要的,以更好地描述弹性在非常致密的固体4 He。

英文摘要:

We present a new set of three-body interaction models based on the Bruch-McGee (BM) potential that are suitable for the study of the energy, structural and elastic properties of solid 4He at high pressure. Our ab initio three-body potentials are obtained from the fit to total energies and atomic forces computed with the van der Waals density functional theory method due to Grimme, and represent an improvement with respect to previously reported three-body interaction models. In particular, we show that some of the introduced BM parametrizations reproduce closely the experimental equation of state and bulk modulus of solid helium up to a pressure of ~ 60 GPa, when used in combination with standard pairwise interaction models in diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. Importantly, we find that recent predictions reporting a surprisingly small variation of the kinetic energy and Lindeman ratio on quantum crystals under increasing pressure are likely to be artifacts produced by the use of incomplete interaction models. Also, we show that the experimental variation of the shear modulus, C44, at P < 25 GPa can be quantitatively described with the new set of three-body BM potentials. At higher pressures, however, the agreement between our C44 results and experiments deteriorates and thus we argue that higher order many-body terms in the expansion of the atomic interactions probably are necessary in order to better describe elasticity in very dense solid 4He.
