First-Principles Calculation of Stress

Nielsen, O. H., Martin, Richard M.·1983·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A generalization of the virial theorem is presented for all components of the average stress tensor of arbitrary systems of interacting particles. Explicit expressions are given for local-density-functional calculations and the method is tested by ab initio pseudopotential calculations on silicon. Accurate determinations are made of lattice constant, bulk moduli, second-, third-, and fourth-order elastic constants, and the internal strain parameter $\ensuremath{\zeta}$. Agreement with experiment is very good, except for $\ensuremath{\zeta}$.

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.
