Theoretical calculation for the phonon spectrum and thermodynamic functions of vanadium and its hydride [PDF]
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
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]
We propose a method to solve KohnâSham 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
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
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]
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
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]
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.
