Accurate and balanced anisotropic Gaussian type orbital basis sets for atoms in strong magnetic fields

Journal Article Zhu, Wuming ; Trickey, S. B. - Journal of Chemical Physics

In high magnetic field calculations, anisotropic Gaussian type orbital (AGTO) basis functions are capable of reconciling the competing demands of the spherically symmetric Coulombic interaction and cylindrical magnetic (B field) confinement. However, the best available a priori procedure for composing highly accurate AGTO sets for atoms in a strong B field [W. Zhu et al., Phys. Rev. A 90, 022504 (2014)] yields very large basis sets. Their size is problematical for use in any calculation with unfavorable computational cost scaling. Here we provide an alternative constructive procedure. It is based upon analysis of the underlying physics of atoms in Bmore »« less

Generalized-gradient approximations to density-functional theory: A comparative study for atoms and solids

Journal Article Dal Corso, A ; Pasquarello, A ; Baldereschi, A ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

Pseudopotential calculations within density-functional theory for a few selected solids (Si, GaAs, and Al) are used to assess the validity of two generalized-gradient approximations (GGA{close_quote}s), the one proposed by Becke and Perdew (BP) and the more recent one proposed by Perdew and Wang (PW) in comparison with the currently used local-density approximation (LDA). The GGA{close_quote}s give total energies of atoms and cohesive energies of solids that are closer to experiment than the LDA results. Lattice constants are reproduced with the same accuracy as in LDA, while bulk moduli and zone-center phonon frequencies are underestimated with respect to both the LDAmore »« less

Density-functional-theory calculations of matter in strong magnetic fields. I. Atoms and molecules

Journal Article Medin, Zach ; Dong, Lai - Physical Review. A

We present calculations of the electronic structure of various atoms and molecules in strong magnetic fields ranging from B=10{sup 12} G to 2x10{sup 15} G, appropriate for radio pulsars and magnetars. For these field strengths, the magnetic forces on the electrons dominate over the Coulomb forces, and to a good approximation the electrons are confined to the ground Landau level. Our calculations are based on the density functional theory, and use a local magnetic exchange-correlation function which is tested to be reliable in the strong field regime. Numerical results of the ground-state energies are given for H{sub N} (up tomore »« less

Comment on 'Strong-field ionization of laser-irradiated light homonuclear diatomic molecules: A generalized strong-field approximation-combination of atomic orbitals model'

Journal Article Kjeldsen, Thomas Kim ; Madsen, Lars Bojer - Physical Review. A

V. I. Usachenko and S.-I. Chu [Phys. Rev. A, 71, 063410 (2005)] discuss the molecular strong-field approximation in the velocity gauge formulation and indicate that some of our earlier velocity gauge calculations are inaccurate. Here we comment on the results of Usachenko and Chu. First, we show that the molecular orbitals used by Usachenko and Chu do not have the correct symmetry, and second, that it is an oversimplification to describe the molecular orbitals in terms of just a single linear combination of two atomic orbitals. Finally, some values for the generalized Bessel function are given for comparison.
