In this paper it is shown that the complex Shavitt functions Fn(z) can be interpolated in the same way as the real Shavitt functions Fn(x) in electronic structure theory. This greatly accelerates the evaluation of exchange integrals in a mixed Gaussian and plane-wave basis. Together with other approximations reported previously this extends applications of ...

We have performed ab initio simulations to investigate the effect of carbon adatoms on the plastic deformation of carbon nanotubes.

We present a rigorous quantum study of spin-exchange transitions in collisions of the alkali-metal atoms with H3e in the presence of an external magnetic field.

Conventional density functional theory (DFT) fails for materials with strongly correlated electrons, such as late transition metal oxides. Large errors in the intra-atomic Coulomb and exchange interactions are the source of this failure. The DFT+U method has provided a means, through empirical parameters, to correct these errors. Here, we present a systematic ...
The hydrogen storage is still a challenge for mobile applications. The diffusion of hydrogen in solids is considered as a general model system but there is limited knowledge available for the dynamics of hydrogen in complex hydrides.
