We describe an efficient quantum embedding framework for realistic ab initio density matrix embedding (DMET) calculations in solids. We discuss in detail the choice of orbitals and mapping to a lattice, treatment of the virtual space and bath truncation, and the lattice-to embedded integral transformation. We apply DMET in this ab initio framework to a hexagonal boron nitride monolayer, crystalline silicon, and nickel monoxide in the antiferromagnetic phase, using large embedded clusters with up to 300 embedding orbitals. We demonstrate our formulation of ab initio DMET in the computation of ground-state properties such as the total energy, equation of state, magnetic moment and correlation functions.

Oxygen-stripes in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 from ab initio calculations
采用Hartree-Fock近似下的从头计算方法研究了钙钛矿型La0.5Ca0.5MnO3的电子、磁性和轨道性质.利用Radaelli等人[Phys. Rev B 55,3015(1997)]报道的实验晶体结构,我们发现了电荷有序条纹状基态。条纹的周期性和绝缘CE型磁结构与中子X射线和电子衍射实验一致。然而,详细的结构是更复杂的比简单的模型设想的Mn d-水平上的电荷和轨道顺序,并更好地描述为一个电荷密度波的氧空穴,耦合到Mn自旋/轨道顺序。
