Charge centers in ionic crystals provide a channel for elementary interaction between electromagnetic radiation and the lattice. We calculate the electronic ground state energies which are needed to create a charge center -- namely a $F$-…
We calculate cohesive properties of LiF, NaF, KF, LiCl, NaCl, and KCl with ab-initio quantum chemical methods. The coupled-cluster approach is used to correct the Hartree-Fock crystal results for correlations and to systematically improve…
We have studied the interference of a variable number of independently created $m_F=0$ microcondensates in a CO$_{2}$-laser optical lattice. The observed average interference contrast decreases with condensate number N. Our experimental…
Because of its inherent 2-D character, the eigenvalue equation for the hindered rotation around a normal cation site of an off-center impurity nearest-neighboring an F center is the well-known Mathieu equation. We present an overview of…
We discuss the feasibility of the embedded cluster approach for it ab-initio calculations of charge exchange between ions and a LiF surface. We show that the discrete density of valence states in embedded clusters converges towards the…
Extending earlier work on a vibronic theory of the FA centers in alkali halides, the reorientation is now considered of an off-center Li+ impurity, either isolated or near an F center. We derive analytically periodic potential energy…
The phase diagram of the half-filled spinless Holstein model for electrons interacting with quantum phonons is derived in three dimensions extending at finite temperature $T$ a variational approach introduced for the one-dimensional T=0…
The F' center in an alkali halide forms when an anion vacancy traps two electrons which is the prerequisite of a diatomic molecule. Indeed, the center may displace left or right along <110> in a (110) plane, due to its coupling to the…
We report the linear optical absorption spectra of aluminum clusters Al$_{n}$ (n=2--5) involving valence transitions, computed using the large-scale all-electron configuration interaction (CI) methodology. Several low-lying isomers of each…
An ab initio study of the doping of alkali halide crystals (AX: A = Li, Na, K, Rb; X = F, Cl, Br, I) by ns2 anions (Ag- and Cu-) is presented. Large active clusters with 179 ions embedded in the surrounding crystalline lattice are…
We extend previous work on alkali halides by calculations for the heavy-atom species RbF, RbCl, LiBr, NaBr, KBr, RbBr, LiI, NaI, KI, and RbI. Relativistic effects are included by means of energy-consistent pseudopotentials, correlations are…
This study analyses a method to consistently recover the second-order convergence of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which is frequently degraded by the improper discretisation of required source terms. The work focuses on…
Lattice constants and bulk moduli of eleven cubic III-V semiconductors are calculated using an ab initio scheme. Correlation contributions of the valence electrons, in particular, are determined using increments for localized bonds and for…
A recently proposed computational scheme based on local increments has been applied to the calculation of correlation contributions to the cohesive energy of the CaO crystal. Using ab-initio quantum chemical methods for evaluating…
Using the Green's function formalism, an ab initio theory for band structures of crystals is derived starting from the Hartree-Fock approximation. It is based on the algebraic diagrammatic construction scheme for the self-energy which is…
Discontinuous transitions into absorbing states require an effective mechanism that prevents the stabilization of low density states. They can be found in different systems, such as lattice models or stochastic differential equations (e.g.…
A computational strategy for the evaluation of the crystal lattice constants and cohesive energy of the weakly bound molecular solids is proposed. The strategy is based on the high level ab initio coupled-cluster determination of the…
Within the framework of the local electron density functional theory, an ab-initio method is proposed that takes into account the self-interaction energy correction (SIC) for the crystal potential. The principle of dividing the unit cell…
We formulate a lattice Hamiltonian model for intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. Our approach incorporates a momentum-dependent nuclear mean field that yields an optical potential that agrees with proton-nucleus experiments and that…
Alkali halides like Cesium Iodide have received renewed attention as a material with potential application as detector coating due to the appearance of Surface Plasmon Resonance absorption peak in their UV-visible absorption spectrum. The…
