Electronic density of states (DOS) is a key factor in condensed matter physics and material science that determines the properties of metals. First-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have typically been used to obtain…

Poyiadjis et al. (2011) show how particle methods can be used to estimate both the score and the observed information matrix for state space models. These methods either suffer from a computational cost that is quadratic in the number of…

Density Functional Theory calculations traditionally suffer from an inherent cubic scaling with respect to the size of the system, making big calculations extremely expensive. This cubic scaling can be avoided by the use of so-called linear…

The large-scale search for high-performing candidate 2D materials is limited to calculating a few simple descriptors, usually with first-principles density functional theory calculations. In this work, we alleviate this issue by extending…

To reduce reliance on experimental fitting data within the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM), an approached is proposed that integrates first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to predict the…

Within the context of first principles techniques we present a theoretical and computational framework to quickly determine, at finite momentum, the self-consistent (longitudinal) charge response to an external perturbation, that enters the…

Over many years, computational simulations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been used extensively to study many different materials at the atomic scale. However, its application is restricted by system size, leaving a number of…

Pulay's Residual Metric Minimization (RMM) method is one of the standard techniques for achieving self consistency in ab initio electronic structure calculations. We describe a reformulation of Pulay's RMM which guarantees reduction of the…

We describe a novel iterative strategy for Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations aimed at large systems (> 1000 electrons), applicable to metals and insulators alike. In lieu of explicit diagonalization of the Kohn-Sham…

A variational method is used to derive a self-consistent macro-particle model for relativistic electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulations. Extending earlier work [E. G. Evstatiev and B. A. Shadwick, J. Comput. Phys., vol. 245, pp. 376-398,…

In many recent applications when new materials and technologies are developed it is important to describe and simulate new nonlinear and nonlocal diffusion transport processes. A general class of such models deals with nonlocal fractional…

A method for carrying out semiclassical initial value representation calculations using first-principles molecular dynamics (FP-SC-IVR) is presented. This method can extract the full vibrational power spectrum of carbon dioxide from a…

We report an attempt to calculate energy eigenvalues of large quantum systems by the diagonalization of an effectively truncated Hamiltonian matrix. For this purpose we employ a specific way to systematically make a set of orthogonal states…

As an aid to the development of hydrogen separation membranes, we predict the temperature dependent phase diagrams using first principles calculations combined with thermodynamic principles. Our method models the phase diagram without…

The structure tensor method is often used for 2D and 3D analysis of imaged structures, but its results are in many cases very dependent on the user's choice of method parameters. We simplify this parameter choice in first order structure…

A new method of solution to the local spin density approximation to the electronic Schr\"{o}dinger equation is presented. The method is based on an efficient, parallel, adaptive multigrid eigenvalue solver. It is shown that adaptivity is…

The quantum mechanical ground state of electrons is described by Density Functional Theory, which leads to large minimization problems. An efficient minimization method uses a selfconsistent field (SCF) solution of large eigenvalue…

To address the magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic materials described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation under large damping parameters, a third-order accurate numerical scheme is developed by building upon a second-order method…

Local pseudopotential (LPP) is an important component of the orbital free density functional theory (OF-DFT), which is a promising large scale simulation method that can still maintain information of electron state in materials. Up to date,…

Given a set of Kohn-Sham orbitals from an insulating system, we present a simple, robust, efficient and highly parallelizable method to construct a set of, optionally orthogonal, localized basis functions for the associated subspace. Our…
