Unified open-boundary electrostatics in real-space density functional theory
Rajat Kumar, David Codony, Phanish Suryanarayana +1
We present an electrostatic formulation in real-space density functional theory that provides a systematic and unified treatment of the open-boundary electrostatics of isolated and…
Cyclic- and helical-symmetry-adapted phonon formalism within density functional perturbation theory
Abhiraj Sharma, Phanish Suryanarayana
We present a first-principles framework for the calculation of phonons in nanostructures with cyclic and/or helical symmetry. In particular, we derive a cyclic- and helical-symmetr…
Correlation function metrology for warm dense matter: Recent developments and practical guidelines
Maximilian Peter Böhme, Willow Martin, Hannah Bellenbaum +13
X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic for matter under extreme conditions, as it captures the intricate many-body physics of the probed sample. Recen…
Ab initio study of strain-driven vacancy clustering in aluminum
Sayan Bhowmik, Abhiraj Sharma, Andrew J. Medford +2
We present a first principles investigation of strain-driven vacancy clustering in aluminum. Specifically, we perform Kohn-Sham density functional theory calculations to study the…
GPU acceleration of hybrid functional calculations in the SPARC electronic structure code
Xin Jing, Abhiraj Sharma, John E. Pask +1
We present a GPU-accelerated version of the real-space SPARC electronic structure code for performing hybrid functional calculations in generalized Kohn-Sham density functional the…
Cyclic and helical symmetry-informed machine learned force fields: Application to lattice vibrations in carbon nanotubes
Abhiraj Sharma, Shashikant Kumar, Phanish Suryanarayana
We present a formalism for developing cyclic and helical symmetry-informed machine learned force fields (MLFFs). In particular, employing the smooth overlap of atomic positions des…
