Atomic PAW setups

Calculating matrix elements of nabla

This integral is needed for LrTDDFT and response function related quantities:

\[\langle\phi_i|\mathbf\nabla|\phi_{i'}\rangle - \langle\tilde\phi_i|\mathbf\nabla|\tilde\phi_{i'}\rangle,\]

where \(|\phi_i\rangle = \phi_i(\mathbf r) = \phi_j(r)Y_{\ell m}(\hat{\mathbf r})\), and \(|\tilde\phi_i\rangle = \tilde\phi_i(\mathbf r) = \tilde\phi_j(r)Y_{\ell m}(\hat{\mathbf r})\).

\[\langle\phi_i|\mathbf\nabla|\phi_{i'}\rangle = \langle\phi_i|\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(\phi_{j'}/r^{\ell'}) \frac{\partial r}{\partial \mathbf r} r^{\ell'}Y_{\ell'm'}\rangle + \langle\phi_i|\frac{\phi_{j'}}{r^{\ell'}} \mathbf\nabla(r^{\ell'}Y_{\ell'm'})\rangle.\]

Since we use real-valued spherical harmonics, we have:

\[\frac{\partial r}{\partial \mathbf r}= \hat{\mathbf r}=(x/r,y/r,z/r)= \sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{3}}(Y_{1m_x},Y_{1m_y},Y_{1m_z}).\]

Splitting the integral in radial and angular parts, we get:

\[\langle\phi_i|\frac{\partial}{\partial x}|\phi_{i'}\rangle = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{3}} \int r^2dr \phi_j\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(\phi_{j'}/r^{\ell'})r^{\ell'} G_{1m_x,\ell'm'}^{\ell m} + \int r^2dr \phi_j\phi_{j'}/r \int d\hat{\mathbf r} Y_{\ell m}r^{1-\ell'}\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (r^{\ell'}Y_{\ell'm'}),\]

where \(G_{\ell m,\ell'm'}^{\ell''m''}\) are Gaunt coefficients calculated with the gaunt() function and the last angular integral has been calculated with the nabla() function.

Gaunt coefficients

\[Y_{L_{1}} (\hat{r}) Y_{L_{2}} (\hat{r}) = \sum^{}_{L} G^{L}_{L_{1} L_{2}} Y_{L} (\hat{r})\]

gpaw.sphere.gaunt.nabla(lmax=2)

Create the array of derivative integrals.

\[\int d\hat{r} Y_{L} (\hat{r}) r^{1-l'} \frac{d}{d\mathbf{r}} [r^{l'} Y_{L'} (\hat{r})]\]
