  2. 1. Sparse Matrices in Self-Consistent Field Methods

    Author : Emanuel Rubensson; Pawel Salek; Hans Ågren; Anders Niklasson; Axel Ruhe; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sparse matrix; self-consistent field; Hartree-Fock; Density Functional Theory; Density Matrix Purification; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is part of an effort to enable large-scale Hartree-Fock/Kohn-Sham (HF/KS) calculations. The objective is to model molecules and materials containing thousands of atoms at the quantum mechanical level. HF/KS calculations are usually performed with the Self-Consistent Field (SCF) method.

  5. 3. Efficient Density Matrix Methods for Large Scale Electronic Structure Calculations

    Author : Anastasia Kruchinina; Emanuel H. Rubensson; Elias Rudberg; David Bowler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electronic structure; linear scaling; density matrix; density functional theory; Hartree-Fock; recursive polynomial expansion; density matrix purification; eigenvectors; molecular orbitals; stopping criteria; inverse factorization; matrix sparsity; parallelization; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Efficient and accurate methods for computing the density matrix are necessary to be able to perform large scale electronic structure calculations. For sufficiently sparse matrices, the computational cost of recursive polynomial expansions to construct the density matrix scales linearly with increasing system size. READ MORE

  6. 4. Parallelization of dynamic algorithms for electronic structure calculations

    Author : Anton G. Artemov; Emanuel H. Rubensson; Maya Neytcheva; Bo Kågström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parallelization; task-based programming; matrix algorithms; sparse matrices; inverse factorization; localized computations; density matrix methods; electronic structure calculations; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The aim of electronic structure calculations is to simulate behavior of complex materials by resolving interactions between electrons and nuclei in atoms at the level of quantum mechanics. Progress in the field allows to reduce the computational complexity of the solution methods to linear so that the computational time scales proportionally to the size of the physical system.

  7. 5. First principles methods for electronic structure calculations of solids

    Author : Martin Springer; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; screened interaction; T-matrix; vertex function; GW approximation; Green function; density functional theory; gradient expansion; order N method; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : A straightforward gradient expansion of the exchange energy of a perturbed electron gas is performed. Studied perturbations range from very weak to those that produce, e.g., a silicon-like band structure with a band gap. READ MORE
