Adsorption of rare-gas atoms on Cu(111) and Pb(111) surfaces by van der Waals-corrected Density Functional Theory
Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, Alberto Ambrosetti, Sonja Grubisiĉ +1
The DFT/vdW-WF method, recently developed to include the Van der Waals interactions in Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the Maximally Localized Wannier functions, is applied t…
Magnetization of a homogeneous two dimensional fermion gas with repulsive contact interaction and Rashba spin-orbit potential
Alberto Ambrosetti, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, Flavio Toigo
The z axis magnetization of a two dimensional electron gas with contact repulsive interaction and in presence of a Rashba potential is computed by means of quantum field theory at…
Van der Waals Interactions in DFT using Wannier Functions: improved and coefficients by a new approach
A. Ambrosetti, P. L. Silvestrelli
A new implementation is proposed for including van der Waals interactions in Density Functional Theory using the Maximally-Localized Wannier functions. With respect to the previous…
Variational Monte Carlo for spin-orbit interacting systems
Alberto Ambrosetti, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, Flavio Toigo +2
Recently, a diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm was applied to the study of spin dependent interactions in condensed matter. Following some of the ideas presented therein, and applied…
