On stability of ground states for finite crystals in the Schroedinger-Poisson model

Abstract

We consider the Schr\"odinger-Poisson-Newton equations for finite crystals under periodic boundary conditions with one ion per cell of a lattice. The electrons are described by one-particle Schr\"odinger equation. Our main results are i) the global dynamics with moving ions; ii) the orbital stability of periodic ground state under a novel Jellium and Wiener-type conditions on the ion charge density. Under the Jellium condition both ionic and electronic charge densities for the ground state are uniform.
