First-Principles Calculation of Transport Coefficients

Open access
Alfè, Dario, Gillan, Michael J.·1998·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We demonstrate the practical feasibility of calculating transport coefficients such as the viscosity of liquids completely from first principles using the Green-Kubo relations. Results presented for liquid aluminum are shown to have a statistical error of only ca. $5%$. The importance of such calculations is illustrated by results for a liquid iron-sulfur alloy under Earth's core conditions, which indicate that the viscosity of the liquid outer core is no more than an order of magnitude higher than that of typical liquid metals under ambient conditions.

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.
