Periodic boundary conditions in ab initio calculations.
Guy Makov,Mike C. Payne +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that for neutral localized aperiodic systems in either the gas or condensed phases, the energy can always be made to converge as O(${\mathit{L}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}5}$) where L is the linear dimension of the supercell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density functional theory: An introduction
Nathan Argaman,Guy Makov +1 more
TL;DR: The Hohenberg-Kohn energy functional as mentioned in this paper is a generalization of the Legendre transform from the chemical potential to the number of particles in a system, which is used in DFT to obtain the corresponding energy functional.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the ionization potential of small metal and dielectric particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the ionization potential of small metal and dielectric spheres is considered in different frameworks: classical, semiclassical, and quantum mechanical density functional approach, and the generally accepted result for the ionisation potential of a metal sphere of radius R: WI(R)=bulk work function+(3/8)q2/R is shown to be wrong, resulting from the classical image potential too close to the metal surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and properties of nanocrystalline π-SnS – a new cubic phase of tin sulphide
TL;DR: In this article, the cubic phase of tin sulfide π-SnS was synthesized and compared to the α-snS phase, which is more stable than the ideal ideal rocksalt structure of SnS.
