Anharmonic Vibrational States of Double-Well Potentials in the Solid State from DFT Calculations
Davide Mitoli, Maria Petrov, Jefferson Maul +3
We introduce a general approach for the simulation of quantum vibrational states of (symmetric and asymmetric) double-well potentials in molecules and materials for thermodynamic a…

Electron localization function for non-collinear spins
Jacques K. Desmarais, Giovanni Vignale, Kamel Bencheikh +2
Understanding of bonding is key to modelling materials and predicting properties thereof. A widely adopted indicator of bonds and atomic shells is the electron localization functio…

Spin-currents via the gauge-principle for meta-generalized-gradient exchange-correlation functionals
Jacques K. Desmarais, Jefferson Maul, Bartolomeo Civalleri +3
The prominence of density functional theory (DFT) in the field of electronic structure computation stems from its ability to usefully balance accuracy and computational effort. At…
