RPA, an accurate and fast method for the computation of static non-linear optical properties

Pau Besalú-Sala, Fabien Bruneval, Ángel José Pérez-Jiménez +2

The accurate computation of non-linear optical properties (NLOPs) in large polymers requires accounting for electronic correlation effects with a reasonable computational cost. The…

Ballistic resistivity in aluminum nanocontacts

A. Hasmy, A. J. Perez-Jimenez, J. J. Palacios +5

One of the major industrial challenges is to profit from some fascinating physical features present at the nanoscale. The production of dissipationless nanoswitches (or nanocontact…

Implementing the Keldysh formalism into the ab initio Gaussian Embedded Cluster Method for the calculation of quantum transport

E. Louis, J. A. Verges, J. J. Palacios +2

We discuss the key steps that have to be followed to calculate quantum transport out of equilibrium by means of the {\it ab initio} Gaussian Embedded Cluster Method recently develo…

First-principles phase-coherent transport in metallic nanotubes with realistic contacts

J. J. Palacios, A. J. Perez-Jimenez, E. Louis +2

We present first-principles calculations of phase coherent electron transport in a carbon nanotube (CNT) with realistic contacts. We focus on the zero-bias response of open metalli…
