Application of a spherically averaged pair potential in \emph{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo simulations of the warm dense electron gas
Tobias Dornheim, Thomas M. Chuna, Hannah M. Bellenbaum +3
Spherically averaged periodic pair potentials offer the enticing promise to provide accurate results at a drastically reduced computational cost compared to the traditional Ewald s…
