Canonical purification of the density matrix in electronic-structure theory

Palser, Adam H. R., Manolopoulos, David E.·1998·Physical Review B

Abstract

Two methods are suggested for performing ground-state electronic-structure calculations within the independent-electron approximation. Both methods involve the purification of a specified initial density matrix, which can be done either canonically (at a fixed electron count ${N}_{e})$ or grand canonically (at a fixed chemical potential \ensuremath{\mu}). Linear system-size scaling is achieved either way, as we illustrate in example tight-binding calculations on carbon nanotubes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
