Direct ab initio calculation of the dynamical matrix
Marek Hytha, Antonin Simunek
Abstract
In this paper there is presented method for ab initio calculation of the phonon spectra. The method is based upon a direct calculation of the dynamical matrix via second derivatives of the total energy. The pseudopotential technique in plane-wave basis set was used to calculate the total energy within the local density approximation (LDA). For the change of the electron density there is derived the self-consistent equation which is solved analytically with no use of iterations. In this paper the attention is paid only to non-metallic systems.
