Our Research Area • Optical property of nanocrystal (Yun) • optoelectronics, biology • Structural phase transition of crystal (Lee) • most accurate calculation in phase transition • Surface problem (Lee) All require electronic structure calculation of crystal!
Electronic structure calculation of crystal It was impossible to solve many body problem quantum mechanically. But, with adiabatic approximation (Born-Oppenheimer) and Density Functional Theory (Hohenberg and Kohn 1964, Kohn and Sham 1965), it became possible.
Kohn-Sham total-energy functional Kinetic energy of electron Coulomb interaction between ion and electron Coulomb interaction between electrons exchange-correlation energy of electrons static Coulomb interaction between ions • DFT says that total energy is a unique functional of the electron density! • Minimum energy is the ground state energy!
Many electrons problem Variational method Self-consistent one-electron equation (Kohn-Sham equation)
Kohn-Sham equation ion Coulomb potential classical electronic Coulomb potential exchange-correlation potential of electron gas (LDA,GGA) Minimize total energy functional self-consistently!
Approximations to the exchange-correlation functional: LDA and GGA
Self-consistent computational procedure
Currently using simulation packages in our lab VASP : Pseudopotential, Ultra-soft, PAW, parallel execution in supercomputer. studying CdSe quantum dot system SIESTA : localized orbital basis and pseudopotential, parallel execution, very small basis, handle very large system (nano system). studying now WIEN97 : LAPW method, parallel execution in supercomputer. 9 publications since 2001, mainly TiFe, TiFeH, TiFe(001) system.
