Electronic structures and magnetic properties of iron in various magnetic states and structural phases

Creator:

Peng, Songshi S.

Abstract:

Total energy calculations based on density functional theory are generally a good approach to obtain the properties of solids. The local density approximation (LDA) is widely used for calculating the ground state properties of electronic systems; for excited states the errors are in general unknown. The important aspects of LDA...

Dissertation
Breaking of spherical symmetry in electronic structure, free and immersed atoms in an electron gas

Creator:

Dorsett, Skye Forrest

Abstract:

Total electronic energies are calculated numerically for free and singly-ionized He, Li, C, and Ne atoms using density functional theory. Immersion energies are calculated for a single C impurity atom embedded or absorbed into a charge-neutral system composed of a free-electron gas with uniform positive background, also called 'jellium'. Nonspherical...
