Dynamic structure factor of gold
I. G. Gurtubay, J. M. Pitarke, I. Campillo +1
We have investigated the role of localized {\it d} bands in the dynamical response of Au, on the basis of {\it ab initio} pseudopotential calculations. The density-response functio…
First-principles calculations of hot-electron lifetimes in metals
I. Campillo, V. M. Silkin, J. M. Pitarke +3
First-principles calculations of the inelastic lifetime of low-energy electrons in Al, Mg, Be, and Cu are reported. Quasiparticle damping rates are evaluated from the knowledge of…
A Mechanism for Cutting Carbon Nanotubes with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope
Angel Rubio, S. Peter Apell, Liesbeth C. Venema +1
We discuss the local cutting of single-walled carbon nanotubes by a voltage pulse to the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. The tip voltage (~3.8 eV) is the…
Enhancements to the GW space-time method
L. Steinbeck, A. Rubio, L. Reining +3
We describe the following new features which significantly enhance the power of the recently developed real-space imaginary-time GW scheme (Rieger et al., Comp. Phys. Commun. 117,…
van der Waals interaction in nanotube bundles : consequences on vibrational modes
L. Henrard, E. Hernandez, P. Bernier +1
We have developed a pair-potential approach for the evaluation of van der Waals interaction between carbon nanotubes in bundles. Starting from a continuum model, we show that the i…
Ab initio calculations of the dynamical response of copper
I. Campillo, A. Rubio, J. M. Pitarke
The role of localized -bands in the dynamical response of Cu is investigated, on the basis of {\em ab initio} pseudopotential calculations. The density-response function is eval…
