Finite Linear

A quality test is proposed for SCF atomic orbitals, [Formula: see text] approximated as finite linear combinations of suitable basis functions [Formula: see text] The key is in a function, readily derived from the Hartree–Fock equation [Formula: see text] which is identically zero for true Hartree–Fock spin orbitals and not so for approximate orbitals. In this way, our test measures how closely approximate orbital descriptions approach the true Hartree–Fock limit and thus provides a quality ordering of orbital bases with respect to one another and with respect to that limit, in a scale uniquely defined by the latter. Moreover, this analysis also holds for atomic subspaces of our choice, e.g., the valence region. Examples are offered for representative collections of Slater- and Gaussian-type orbital expansions.

Self Consistent Field

We present a first principles approach for decomposing molecular linear response properties into orthogonal (additive) plus non-orthogonal/cooperative contributions. This approach enables one to 1) identify the contributions of molecular building blocks like functional groups or monomer units to a given response property and 2) quantify cooperativity between these contributions. In analogy to the self consistent field method for molecular interactions, SCF(MI), we term our approach LR(MI). The theory, implementation and pilot data are described in detail in the manuscript and supporting information.

AbstractCrystalline materials can host topological lattice defects that are robust against local deformations, and such defects can interact in interesting ways with the topological features of the underlying band structure. We design and implement a three dimensional acoustic Weyl metamaterial hosting robust modes bound to a one-dimensional topological lattice defect. The modes are related to topological features of the bulk bands, and carry nonzero orbital angular momentum locked to the direction of propagation. They span a range of axial wavenumbers defined by the projections of two bulk Weyl points to a one-dimensional subspace, in a manner analogous to the formation of Fermi arc surface states. We use acoustic experiments to probe their dispersion relation, orbital angular momentum locked waveguiding, and ability to emit acoustic vortices into free space. These results point to new possibilities for creating and exploiting topological modes in three-dimensional structures through the interplay between band topology in momentum space and topological lattice defects in real space.
