28 May 2004 | | Subject: | Materials Science | cond-mat.mtrl-sci | | Abstract: | Linear scaling quantum chemical methods for Density Functional Theory are extended to the condensed phase at the $Gamma$-point. For the two-electron Coulomb matrix, this is achieved with a tree-code algorithm for fast Coulomb summation [J. Chem. Phys. {f 106}, 5526 (1997)], together with multipole representation of the crystal field [J. Chem. Phys. {f 107}, 10131 (1997)]. A periodic version of the hierarchical cubature algorithm [J. Chem. Phys. {f 113}, 10037 (2000)], which builds a telescoping adaptive grid for numerical integration of the exchange-correlation matrix, is shown to be efficient when the problem is posed as integration over the unit cell. Commonalities between the Coulomb and exchange-correlation algorithms are discussed, with an emphasis on achieving linear scaling through the use of modern data structures. With these developments, convergence of the $Gamma$-point supercell approximation to the ${f k}$-space integration limit is demonstrated for MgO and NaCl. Linear scaling construction of the Fockian and control of error is demonstrated for RBLYP/6-21G* diamond up to 512 atoms. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0405678 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
