SUMMARY:QMC and the 1D electron gas - Robert Lee (TCM)
DTSTART:20091021T100000Z

UID:TALK15866@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Neil Drummond
DESCRIPTION:I will present recent quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations o
 n the 1D homogeneous electron gas (HEG)\, spending some time introducing t
 he details of the model and its experimental pertinence. I will also explo
 re several interactions that one may use to model a finite-width wire (the
  quasi-1D HEG).\n\nThe first system is sufficiently simple that understand
 ing the particulars of the QMC calculations is straightforward\, and provi
 des a good opportunity for non-QMC specialists to see an uncomplicated app
 lication.\n\nResults that I will show include the energy\, pair-correlatio
 n function\, static structure factor and (perhaps most interestingly) the 
 momentum density.\n\n"Download slides":http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~ndd21
