Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic generation of finite-range atomic basis sets for linear-scaling calculations
TL;DR: A method to optimize numerical atomic orbitals variationally, using a single parameter to control their range, is presented, showing it to be comparable in quality to other widely used schemes albeit offering better performance for linear-scaling computations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density, structure, and dynamics of water: The effect of van der Waals interactions
TL;DR: A DFT-AIMD study of liquid water using several GGA functionals as well as the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) of Dion et al. finds that the density of water is grossly underestimated by G GA functionals, and when a vdW- DF is used, the density improves drastically and the experimental diffusivity is reproduced without the need of thermal corrections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal meshes for integrals in real- and reciprocal-space unit cells.
Juana Moreno,José M. Soler +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed method to construct uniform meshes for fast Fourier transforms in electronic-structure calculations and shows that a drastic reduction in the mesh size can be frequently achieved by using an unconventional set of primitive lattice vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stiff Monatomic Gold Wires with a Spinning Zigzag Geometry
Daniel Sánchez-Portal,Emilio Artacho,Javier Junquera,Pablo Ordejón,Alberto García,José M. Soler +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, first-principles density-functional calculations were used to find that gold monatomic wires exhibit a zigzag shape which remains under tension, becoming linear just before breaking.
