We study the periodic Hartree-Fock model used for the description of electrons in a crystal. The existence of a minimizer was previously shown by Catto, Le Bris and Lions (Ann. Inst. H. Poincare Anal. Non Lineaire} 18 (2001), no.6,…
We prove the existence of solutions of the reduced Hartree-Fock equations at finite temperature for a periodic crystal with a small defect, and show total screening of the defect charge by the electrons. We also show the convergence of the…
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…
Whereas many different models exist in the mathematical and physics literature for ground states of non-relativistic crystals, the relativistic case has been much less studied and we are not aware of any mathematical result on a fully…
In this paper, we study the relationship between the Dirac--Fock model and the electron-positron Hartree--Fock model. We justify the Dirac--Fock model as a variational approximation of QED when the vacuum polarization is neglected and when…
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…
We study the Hartree-Fock model for pseudorelativistic atoms, that is, atoms where the kinetic energy of the electrons is given by the pseudorelativistic operator \sqrt{(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2}-mc^2. We prove the existence of a Hartree-Fock…
We study existence and qualitative properties of the minimizers for a Thomas--Fermi type energy functional defined by $$E_\alpha(\rho):=\frac{1}{q}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}|\rho(x)|^q…
The focus of our paper is to investigate the possibility of a minimizer for the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizs\"{a}cker model on the lattice graph $\mathbb{Z}^{3}$. The model is described by the following functional: \begin{equation*}…
Using an ansatz wave function for the ground state of rotating two-dimensional dipolar fermions, which occupy only partially the lowest Landau level, we study the correlation energy and elastic properties of the Wigner crystal of rotating…
The Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock (BDF) model is the mean-field approximation of no-photon Quantum Electrodynamics. The present paper is devoted to the study of the minimization of the BDF energy functional under a charge constraint. An associated…
One of the most spectacular experimental findings in the fractional quantum Hall effect is evidence for an emergent Fermi surface when the electron density is nearly half the density of magnetic flux quanta ($\nu = 1/2$). The seminal work…
We investigate a number of fermionic condensate phases on the honeycomb lattice, to determine whether topological defects (vortices and edges) in these phases can support bound states with zero energy. We argue that topological zero modes…
In this paper we complete the study of global minimizers of a forced, non autonomous, one dimensional, phase transition model, initiated in [8]. Motivated by the recent findings in [9], revealing new configurations of topological structures…
The completeness, together with the orthonormality, of the eigenfunctions of the Dirac Hamiltonian with a step potential is shown explicitly. These eigenfunctions describe the scattering process of a relativistic fermion off the step…
The optical conductivity of quasicrystals is characterized by two features not seen in ordinary metallic systems. There is an absence of the Drude peak and the interband conductivity rises linearly from a very low value up to normal…
This work presents the formalism for evaluating molecular SCF equations, as adapted to four$-$component Dirac spinors, which in turn reduce to Slater$-$type orbitals with non$-$integer principal quantum numbers in the non$-$relativistic…
We present a high-precision solution of Dirac equation by numerically solving the minmax two-center Dirac equation with the finite element method (FEM). The minmax FEM provide a highly accurate benchmark result for systems with light or…
The applicability of the Hartree-Fock and random phase approximations to models of strongly correlated electrons is discussed. The 2D Hubbard model is analyzed. An antiferromagnetic phase (at half filling) and Fermi liquid behavior (at low…
Results are reported for single crystal specimens of Hf$_2$Te$_2$P and compared to its structural analogue Zr$_2$Te$_2$P, which was recently proposed to be a potential reservoir for Dirac physics.[1] Both materials are produced using the…
