Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo study of the equation of state and point defects in aluminum

Journal Article Hood, Randolph Q. ; Kent, Paul R ; Reboredo, Fernando A - Physical Review B

The many-body diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method with twist-averaged boundary conditions is used to calculate the ground-state equation of state and the energetics of point defects in fcc aluminum using supercells up to 1331 atoms. The DMC equilibrium lattice constant differs from experiment by 0.008 , or 0.2%, while the cohesive energy using DMC with backflow wave functions with improved nodal surfaces differs by 27 meV. DMC-calculated defect formation and migration energies agree with available experimental data, except for the nearest-neighbor divacancy, which is found to be energetically unstable, in agreement with previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Equation of state of a weakly interacting two-dimensional Bose gas studied at zero temperature by means of quantum Monte Carlo methods

Journal Article Astrakharchik, G E ; Boronat, J ; Casulleras, J ; ... - Physical Review. A

The equation of state of a weakly interacting two-dimensional Bose gas is studied at zero temperature by means of quantum Monte Carlo methods. Going down to as low densities as na{sup 2}{proportional_to}10{sup -100} permits us to obtain agreement on beyond mean-field level between predictions of perturbative methods and direct many-body numerical simulation, thus providing an answer to the fundamental question of the equation of state of a two-dimensional dilute Bose gas in the universal regime (i.e., entirely described by the gas parameter na{sup 2}). We also show that the measure of the frequency of a breathing collective oscillation in amore »« less

Magnetic structure and equation of state of bcc solid hydrogen: A variational quantum Monte Carlo study

Journal Article Wang, X W ; Zhu, J ; Louie, S G ; ... - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

Solid hydrogen in the atomic bcc structure is studied using a variational quantum Monte Carlo approach. Various magnetic phases are investigated at densities between Wigner-Seitz radius of {ital r}{sub {ital s}}=1.6 and 3.0 a.u. Correlated wave functions of Jastrow-Slater form are used with their antisymmetric part constructed from the Kohn-Sham self-consistent orbitals. A transition from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase at lower density is found at {ital r}{sub {ital s}}=2.4. There is, however, no evidence for metastable partial ferromagnetic structure.
