12 Ultrasoft Pseudopotentials (Vanderbilt, 1990)
13 Projector Augmented Waves
14 Deriving the Pseudo Hamiltonian
15 PAW vs PAW C. G. van de Walle and P. E. Bloechl 1993 (I) PAW to calculate all electron properties from PSP calculations" P. E. Bloechl 1994 (II) The PAW electronic structure method" " The two are linked, but should not be confused
16 References David Vanderbilt, Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalised eigenvalue formalism, PRB " Kari Laasonen et al, Car-Parinello molecular dynamics with Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudopotentials, PRB " P.E. Bloechl, Projector augmented-wave method, PRB " G. Kresse and D. Joubert, From ultrasoft pseudopotentials to the projector augmented-wave method, PRB
17 On-the-fly Pseudopotentials - All quantities for PAW (I) reconstruction available" - Allows automatic consistency of the potentials with functionals" - Even fewer input files required" - The code in CASTEP is a cut down (fast) pseudopotential code" - There are internal databases" - Other generation codes (Vanderbilt s original, OPIUM, LD1) exist
18 It all works!
19 Kohn-Sham Equations
20 Being (Self) Consistent
21 Eigenproblem in a Basis
22 Just a Few Atoms
23 In a Crystal
24 Plane-waves Represent the orbital in Fourier space" Z (r) = (g)e ig r d 3 r For a periodic system we have Bloch s Theorem" k(r) = X G c k,g e i(g+k) r Where the Gs are reciprocal lattice vectors and k is a symmetry label in the 1 st Brillouin zone"
25 Cutoff Energy Limit the number of plane wave components to those such that (G + k) 2 2 apple E cut This defines a length scale = p Ecut
26 Cutoff Energy "" - The minimum length scale depends on the elements in the system through PSPs" "" - Variational principle -> energy monotonically decreases to ground state energy as E cut increases (not strictly for USP/PAW)" "" - Converge required property with respect to cutoff energy "
27 Cutoff Energy "" - The minimum length scale depends on the elements in the system through PSPs" "" - Variational principle -> energy monotonically decreases to ground state energy as E cut increases (not strictly for USP/PAW)" "" - Converge required property with respect to cutoff energy "
28 Cutoff Energy "" - The minimum length scale depends on the elements in the system through PSPs" "" - Variational principle -> energy monotonically decreases to ground state energy as E cut increases (not strictly for USP/PAW)" "" - Converge required property with respect to cutoff energy "
29 Why Plane-waves? - Systematic convergence with respect to single parameter" - Non-local. Cover all space equally" - Cheap forces (no Pulay term)" - No basis-set superposition error " - Numerically efficient " - Use FFTs to transform between real and reciprocal space" - The obvious choice for periodic and works well for aperiodic systems" - Rapid development of new functionality
