This article is concerned with the numerical simulations of perfect crystals. We study the rate of convergence of the reduced Hartree-Fock (rHF) model in a supercell towards the periodic rHF model in the whole space. We prove that, whenever…

This article is concerned with the derivation and the mathematical study of a new mean-field model for the description of interacting electrons in crystals with local defects. We work with a reduced Hartree-Fock model, obtained from the…

In this article, we set up a functional setting for mean-field electronic structure models of Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham types for disordered crystals. The electrons are quantum particles and the nuclei are classical point-like articles…

We report Hartree-Fock (HF) based pseudopotentials suitable for plane-wave calculations. Unlike typical effective core potentials, the present pseudopotentials are finite at the origin and exhibit rapid convergence in a plane-wave basis;…

Calculating highly accurate thermochemical properties of condensed matter via wave function-based approaches (such as e.g. Hartree-Fock or hybrid functionals) has recently attracted much interest. We here present two strategies providing…

In this article, we derive fully guaranteed error bounds for the energy of convex nonlinear mean-field models. These results apply in particular to Kohn-Sham equations with convex density functionals, which includes the reduced Hartree-Fock…

With the widespread use of self-consistent field methods, including Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory, the implications of accelerating these methods are immense. To this end, we develop a tensor hypercontraction construction with…

We consider the geometry relaxation of an isolated point defect embedded in a homogeneous crystalline solid, within an atomistic description. We prove a sharp convergence rate for a periodic supercell approximation with respect to uniform…

The errors arising in ab initio density functional theory studies of semiconductor point defects using the supercell approximation are analyzed. It is demonstrated that a) the leading finite size errors are inverse linear and inverse cubic…

This works extends the recent study on the dielectric permittivity of crystals within the Hartree model [E. Cances and M. Lewin, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal., 197 (2010) 139--177] to the time-dependent setting. In particular, we prove the…

An implementation of the Hartree-Fock (HF) method capable of robust convergence for well-behaved arbitrary central potentials is presented. The Hartree-Fock equations are converted to a generalized eigenvalue problem by employing a B-spline…

In periodic systems, the Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange energy exhibits the slowest convergence of all HF energy components as the system size approaches the thermodynamic limit. We demonstrate that the recently proposed staggered mesh method…

We investigate a gas of superfluid fermionic atoms trapped in two hyperfine states by a spherical harmonic potential. We propose a new regularization method to remove the ultraviolet divergence in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations…

In a recent article (Canc\`es, Deleurence and Lewin, Commun. Math. Phys., 281 (2008), pp. 129-177), we have rigorously derived, by means of bulk limit arguments, a new variational model to describe the electronic ground state of insulating…

The self-energy of the Dirac Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculation in nuclear matter is parametrized by introducing density-dependent coupling constants of isoscalar mesons in the relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) approach where isoscalar meson…

To date, computational methods for modeling defects (vacancies, adsorbates, etc.) rely on periodic supercells in which the defect is far enough from its repeated image such that they can be assumed non-interacting. Yet, the relative…

Defect physics is at the heart of microelectronics. By keeping track of the reference energy in total energy calculations, we explicitly show that the "potential alignment" correction vanishes, and the classic Markov-Payne correction yields…

We study the convergence properties of nuclear binding energies and two-neutron separation energies obtained with self-consistent mean-field calculations based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) method with Gogny-type effective…

Few-electron systems confined in two-dimensional parabolic quantum dots at high magnetic fields are studied by the Hartree-Fock (HF) and exact diagonalization methods. A generalized multicenter Gaussian basis is proposed in the HF method. A…

We present a comprehensive study of the vacancy in bulk silicon in all its charge states from 2+ to 2-, using a supercell approach within plane-wave density-functional theory, and systematically quantify the various contributions to the…
