We present in detail the recently derived ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) formalism [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 096403 (2008)], which due to its numerical properties, is ideal for simulating the dynamics of systems containing thousands of…

Ab initio Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (AIMD) is a valuable method for simulating physico-chemical processes of complex systems, including reactive systems, and for training machine learning models and force fields. Speed and…

This work combines for the first time ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, with a global natural orbital functional (GNOF), an approximate functional of the one-particle reduced density matrix. The…

Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations using hybrid density functionals and plane waves are of great interest owing to the accuracy of this approach in treating condensed matter systems. On the other hand, such AIMD calculations…

Ehrenfest and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics are computational alternatives to approximate Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics without solving the electron eigenvalue problem at each time-step. A non-trivial issue is to choose the…

We present a time-reversible Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics scheme, based on self-consistent Hartree-Fock or density functional theory, where both the nuclear and the electronic degrees of freedom are propagated in time. We show how a…

Simulating electron-ion dynamics using time-dependent density functional theory within an Ehrenfest dynamics scheme can be done in two ways that are in principle exact and identical: propagating time-dependent electronic Kohn-Sham equations…

Density functional theory with linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) basis sets is useful for studying large atomic systems, especially when it comes to computationally highly demanding time-dependent dynamics. We have implemented…

The route to reliable quantum nanoelectronic devices hinges on precise control of the electrostatic environment. For this reason, accurate methods for electrostatic simulations are essential in the design process. The most widespread…

Accounting for electrons and nuclei simultaneously is a powerful capability of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). However, AIMD is often unable to accurately reproduce properties of systems such as water due to inaccuracies in the…

We propose a first-principles time-dependent density functional theoretical (TDDFT) approach in momentum (P) space for quantitative study of electron transport in molecular devices under arbitrary biases. In this approach, the basic…

Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) with hybrid density functionals and plane wave basis is computationally expensive due to the high computational cost of exact exchange energy evaluation. Recently, we proposed a strategy to combine…

Ehrenfest, Born-Oppenheimer, Langevin and Smoluchowski dynamics are shown to be accurate approximations of time-independent Schr\"odinger observables for a molecular system avoiding caustics, in the limit of large ratio of nuclei and…
