    Electronic band structure from first-principles Green's function approach: theory and implementations

    Hong JIANG
    253-268页
    查看更多>>摘要:Electronic band structure is one of the most important intrinsic properties of a material,and is in particular crucial in electronic,photo-electronic and photocatalytic applications.Kohn-Sham Density-functional theory (KS-DFT) within currently available local or semi-local approximations to the exchange-correlation energy functional is problematic for the description of electronic band structure.Many-body perturbation theory based on Green's function (GF) provides a rigorous framework to describe excited-state properties of materials.The central ingredient of the GF-based many-body perturbation theory is the exchangecorrelation self-energy,which accounts for all nonclassical electron-electron interaction effects beyond the Hartree theory,and formally can be obtained by solving a set of complicated integro-differential equations,named Hedin's equations.The GW approximation,in which the self-energy is simply a product of Green's function and the screened Coulomb interaction (W),is currently the most accurate first-principles approach to describe electronic band structure properties of extended systems.Compared to KS-DFT,the computational efforts required for GW calculations are much larger.Various numerical techniques or approximations have been developed to apply GW for realistic systems.In this paper,we give an overview of the theory of first-principles Green's function approach in the GW approximation and review the state of the art for the implementation of GW in different representations and with different treatment of the frequency dependence.It is hoped that further methodological developments will be inspired by this work so that the approach can be applied to more complicated and scientifically more interesting systems.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this paper,the interaction between hydrogen peroxide (HP) and water were systemically studied by atom-bond electronegativity equalization method fused into molecular mechanics (ABEEM/MM) and ab initio method.The results show that the optimized geometries,interaction energies and dipole moments of hydrated HP clusters HP(H2O)n (n =1-6) calculated by ABEEM/MM model are fairly consistent with the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ results.The ABEEM/MM results indicate that n =4 is the transition state structure from 2D planar structure to 3D network structure.The variations of the average hydrogen bond length with the increasing number of water molecules given by ABEEM/MM model agree well with those of ab initio studies.Moreover,the radial distribution functions (RDFs) of water molecule around HP in HP aqueous solution have been analyzed in detail.It can be confirmed that HP is a good proton donor and poor proton acceptor in aqueous solution by analysis of the RDFs.

    查看更多>>摘要:We introduce a reaction model for use in coarse-grained simulations to study the chemical reactions in polymer systems at mesoscopic level.In this model,we employ an idea of reaction probability in control of the whole process of chemical reactions.This model has been successfully applied to the studies of surface initiated polymerization process and the network structure formation of typical epoxy resin systems.It can be further modified to study different kinds of chemical reactions at mesoscopic scale.
