cBN as a pressure standard CohenQMC Summer School 2012 UIUC17 Cubic boron nitride is an ideal pressure standard. Stable over wide pressure and temperature range Single Raman mode for calibration Single lattice parameter

Pseudopotentials are remaining source of error Cannot afford to do a large supercell with all-electron Therefore, compute pseudopotential corrections in small supercells and extrapolate to bulk limit Did comparison for 3 PPs: –Wu-Cohen GGA –Trail-Needs Hartree-Fock –Burkatzki et al Hartree-Fock Computed pressure corrections by taking (LAPW EOS – PP EOS)‏ Two supercells: 2-atom and 8- atom Cohen18QMC Summer School 2012 UIUC

All-electron QMC for solids Current QMC calculations on solids use pseudopotentials (PPs) from Hartree-Fock or DFT When different PPs give different results, how do we know which to use? In DFT, decide based on agreement with all-electron calculation We would like to do the same in QMC. Has only been done for hydrogen and helium. LAPW is generally gold standard for DFT. Use orbitals from LAPW calculation in QMC simulation. Requires efficient evaluation methods and careful numerics Use atomic-like representation near nuclei, plane-wave or B- splines in interstitial region: Cohen19QMC Summer School 2012 UIUC

cBN equation of state Cohen20 64 atom supercell, qmcPACK uncorrected corrected QMC Summer School 2012 UIUC

cBN Raman Frequencies Within harmonic approx. DFT frequency is reasonable But, cBN Raman mode is quite anharmonic With anharmonic corrections, DFT frequencies are not so good. Compute energy vs. displacement with DMC and do 4th-order fit. Solve 1D Schrodinger eq. to get frequency Anharmonic DMC frequency is correct to within statistical error CohenQMC Summer School 2012 UIUC21

cBN Raman Frequencies Raman frequencies are linear in 1/V When combined with EOS, data can be used to directly measure pressure from the Raman frequency There is some intrinsic T-dependent shift due to anharmonicity CohenQMC Summer School 2012 UIUC22 Measured Extrapolated See also

Cohen QMC Summer School 2012 UIUC 23 The calculated equation of state agrees closely with the experiments of Mao et al. and those of Dewaele et al.. It also agrees with the DFT data of Söderlind et al. and Alfè et al., and therefore, reinforces those previous calculations.

DMC

Summary There are only a few examples of applications of QMC to geophysics and high pressure problems, but they are all very promising. DFT is also fairly successful for closed shell systems. The field is wide open. CohenQMC Summer School 2012 UIUC25
