We have developed and implemented a self-consistent density functional method using standard norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a flexible, numerical LCAO basis set, which includes multiple-zeta and polarization orbitals. Exchange and…
The fourth-order PDE that models the density variation of smectic A liquid crystals presents unique challenges in its (numerical) analysis beyond more common fourth-order operators, such as the classical biharmonic. While the operator is…
We present an accurate and efficient finite-difference formulation and parallel implementation of Kohn-Sham Density (Operator) Functional Theory (DFT) for non periodic systems embedded in a bulk environment. Specifically, employing…
We present an embedding scheme for periodic systems that facilitates the treatment of the physically important part (here the unit cell) with advanced electronic-structure methods, that are computationally too expensive for periodic…
We present an accurate, efficient and massively parallel finite-element code, DFT-FE, for large-scale ab-initio calculations (reaching $\sim 100,000$ electrons) using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). DFT-FE is based on a local…
We describe an efficient quantum embedding framework for realistic ab initio density matrix embedding (DMET) calculations in solids. We discuss in detail the choice of orbitals and mapping to a lattice, treatment of the virtual space and…
We present SPARC-atomSFE, a spectral finite-element package for accurate and efficient atomic structure calculations within the framework of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. The package supports both all-electron and norm conserving…
In the near future, material and drug design may be aided by quantum computer assisted simulations. These have the potential to target chemical systems intractable by the most powerful classical computers. However, the resources offered by…
In this paper, we propose a new Green's function embedding method called PEXSI-$\Sigma$ for describing complex systems within the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KSDFT) framework, after revisiting the physics literature of Green's…
We present an application of the linear scaling Frozen Density Embedding (FDE) formulation of subsystem DFT to the calculation of isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (hfccs) of atoms belonging to a guanine radical cation embedded in a…
The present work demonstrates a robust protocol for probing localized electronic structure in condensed-phase systems, operating in terms of a recently proposed theory for decomposing the results of Kohn-Sham density functional theory in a…
Recent high resolution Compton scattering experiments clearly reveal that there are fundamental limitations to the conventional local density approximation (LDA) based description of the ground state electron momentum density (EMD) in…
Hydrogen-enhanced decohesion (HEDE) is one of the many mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement, a phenomenon that severely impacts structural materials such as iron and iron alloys. Grain boundaries (GBs) play a critical role in this…
The effects of thermal diffuse scattering on the transmission and eventual diffraction of highly accelerated electrons are investigated with a method that incorporates the frozen phonon approximation to the exact numerical solution of the…
We introduce \texttt{featom}, an open source code that implements a high-order finite element solver for the radial Schr\"odinger, Dirac, and Kohn-Sham equations. The formulation accommodates various mesh types, such as uniform or…
The deformation of an initially spherical capsule, freely suspended in simple shear flow, can be computed analytically in the limit of small deformations [D. Barthes-Biesel, J. M. Rallison, The Time-Dependent Deformation of a Capsule Freely…
We present an immersed boundary method to simulate the creeping motion of a rigid particle in a fluid described by the Stokes equations discretized thanks to a finite element strategy on unfitted meshes, called Phi-FEM, that uses the…
A quantitative description of the excited electronic states of point defects and impurities is crucial for understanding materials properties, and possible applications of defects in quantum technologies. This is a considerable challenge…
We present a deformable Discrete Element Method (DEM) that extends the classical rigid-particle formulation through a reduced-order description of elastic grain-scale deformation. The method hinges on two developments. First, an energetic…
