Towards Quantum Monte Carlo Forces on Heavier Ions: Scaling Properties

Juha Tiihonen, Raymond C. Clay, Jaron T. Krogel

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) forces have been studied extensively in recent decades because of their importance with spectroscopic observables and geometry optimization. Here we bench…

Efficacy of the Radial Pair Potential Approximation for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Dense Plasmas

Lucas J. Stanek, Raymond C. Clay, M. W. C. Dharma-wardana +3

Macroscopic simulations of dense plasmas rely on detailed microscopic information that can be computationally expensive and is difficult to verify experimentally. In this work, we…

Towards a systematically improvable many-body description of antiferromagnetic iron oxide

Joshua P Townsend, Raymond C Clay, Thomas R Mattsson +5

We report variational and fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of anti-ferromagnetic iron oxide (FeO) in the ground state B1 crystal structure. The goal of t…

Theory of Finite Size Effects for Electronic Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Liquids and Solids

Markus Holzmann, Raymond C. Clay, Miguel A. Morales +3

Concentrating on zero temperature Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of electronic systems, we give a general description of the theory of finite size extrapolations of energies to t…
