Multiscale simulations in simple metals: a density-functional based methodology
arXiv:cond-mat/0404414 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.71.094101
Abstract
We present a formalism for coupling a density functional theory-based quantum simulation to a classical simulation for the treatment of simple metallic systems. The formalism is applicable to multiscale simulations in which the part of the system requiring quantum-mechanical treatment is spatially confined to a small region. Such situations often arise in physical systems where chemical interactions in a small region can affect the macroscopic mechanical properties of a metal. We describe how this coupled treatment can be accomplished efficiently, and we present a coupled simulation for a bulk aluminum system.
