Large-scale pseudopotential density functional theory calculations using orthogonalized enriched finite element basis

Avirup Sircar, Bikash Kanungo, Sambit Das +1

We present an efficient and scalable computational framework for pseudopotential Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) calculations using an enriched finite element (EFE) ba…

Intrinsic ductility enhancement in Mg alloys elucidated via large-scale ab-initio calculations

Sambit Das, Vikram Gavini

Magnesium is the lightest structural alloy, yet its practical use is limited by its low ductility. Recent studies suggest ductility enhancement in dilute Mg alloys may stem from fa…

Field theoretic atomistics: Learning thermodynamic and variational surrogate to density functional theory

Sambit Das, Bikash Kanungo, Arghadwip Paul +1

The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem -- the bedrock of density functional theory (DFT) -- establishes a universal map from the external potential to the energy. It also relates the elec…

invDFT: A CPU-GPU massively parallel tool to find exact exchange-correlation potentials from groundstate densities

Vishal Subramanian, Bikash Kanungo, Vikram Gavini

Density functional theory (DFT) remains the most widely used electronic structure method. Although exact in principle, in practice, it relies on approximations to the exchange-corr…

An Atomic Cluster Expansion Potential for Twisted Multilayer Graphene

Yangshuai Wang, Drake Clark, Sambit Das +5

Twisted multilayer graphene, characterized by its moiré patterns arising from inter-layer rotational misalignment, serves as a rich platform for exploring quantum phenomena. Machi…
