Electric Polarization from Many-Body Neural Network Ansatz
arXiv:2307.02212 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.176401
Abstract
Ab initio calculation of dielectric response with high-accuracy electronic structure methods is a long-standing problem, for which mean-field approaches are widely used and electron correlations are mostly treated via approximated functionals. Here we employ a neural network wavefunction ansatz combined with quantum Monte Carlo to incorporate correlations into polarization calculations. On a variety of systems, including isolated atoms, one-dimensional chains, two-dimensional slabs, and three-dimensional cubes, the calculated results outperform conventional density functional theory and are consistent with the most accurate calculations and experimental data. Furthermore, we have studied the out-of-plane dielectric constant of bilayer graphene using our method and re-established its thickness dependence. Overall, this approach provides a powerful tool to consider electron correlation in the modern theory of polarization.
