Theoretical calculation for the phonon spectrum and thermodynamic functions of vanadium and its hydride [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Based on density functional theory(DFT), using virtual crystal approximation and generalized gradient approximation(GGA)with pseudopotential method, the lattices and energies for five crystallines of vanadium hydrides are optimized and calculated.

First-principles core energies of isolated basal and prism screw dislocations in magnesium

open access: yesMaterials Research Letters, 2022
We use first-principles energy density method (EDM) to calculate atomic energies for isolated [Formula: see text]-type basal and prism screw dislocation cores in Mg and compute line energies and core energy differences.

Density functional theory calculations using the finite element method; pp. 155–178 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2008
We propose a method to solve Kohn–Sham equations and to calculate electronic states, total energy, and material properties of non-crystalline, non-periodic structures with l-dependent fully non-local real-space ab initio pseudopotentials using finite ...

Nonlocal pseudopotential energy density functional for orbital-free density functional theory

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Orbital-free density functional theory is an electronic structure method with a low computational cost enabling large-scale material simulations. Here the authors present a novel protocol which allows for the application of nonlocal pseudopotentials to ...

Structure and Migration Mechanisms of Small Vacancy Clusters in Cu: A Combined EAM and DFT Study

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2023
Voids in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals are commonly assumed to form via the aggregation of vacancies; however, the mechanisms of vacancy clustering and diffusion are not fully understood.

Improvement of functionals in density functional theory by the inverse Kohn–Sham method and density functional perturbation theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2019
We propose a way to improve energy density functionals (EDFs) in the density functional theory based on the combination of the inverse Kohn--Sham method and the density functional perturbation theory. Difference between the known EDF and the exact one is treated as the first-order perturbation.

Machine learned interatomic potentials using random features

open access: yesnpj Computational Materials, 2022
We present a method to model interatomic interactions such as energy and forces in a computationally efficient way. The proposed model approximates the energy/forces using a linear combination of random features, thereby enabling fast parameter ...

A finite-volume method for fluctuating dynamical density functional theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Physics, 2021
We introduce a finite-volume numerical scheme for solving stochastic gradient-flow equations. Such equations are of crucial importance within the framework of fluctuating hydrodynamics and dynamic density functional theory. Our proposed scheme deals with general free-energy functionals, including, for instance, external fields or interaction potentials.
