报告题目:Predicting the thermodynamic properties by DFT
报告内容简介:Linear response, or density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), is one of the most popular methods of ab initio calculation of lattice dynamics. However, potential applications of the method extend beyond the study of vibrational properties. Linear response provides an analytical way of computing the second derivative of the total energy with respect to a given perturbation. Depending on the nature of this perturbation, a number of properties can be calculated. A perturbation in ionic positions gives the dynamical matrix and phonons; in magnetic field – NMR response; in unit cell vectors - elastic constants; in an electric field - dielectric response, etc. The basic theory of phonons, or lattice vibrations, in crystals is well understood and has been described in detail in several textbooks. The importance of the phonon interpretation of lattice dynamics is illustrated by the large number of physical properties that can be understood in terms of phonons: infrared, Raman, and neutron scattering spectra; specific heat, thermal expansion, and heat conduction; electron-phonon interaction and thus resistivity and superconductivity, etc. Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods can be used to predict such properties.
