Plane Waves Versus Correlation-Consistent Basis Sets: A Comparison of MP2 Non-Covalent Interaction Energies in the Complete Basis Set Limit

Ursula Röthlisberger, Justin Villard, Martin Peter Bircher

Second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) is the most expedient wave function-based method for considering electron correlation in quantum chemical calculations and, as such, provides a cost-effective framework to assess the effects of basis se ...

Safe Zeroth-Order Convex Optimization Using Quadratic Local Approximations

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Maryam Kamgarpour, Yuning Jiang, Baiwei Guo

We address black-box convex optimization problems, where the objective and constraint functions are not explicitly known but can be sampled within the feasible set. The challenge is thus to generate a sequence of feasible points converging towards an optim ...

On the Stability of FDTD-Based Numerical Codes to Evaluate Lightning-Induced Overvoltages in Overhead Transmission Lines

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

One of the main issues that has to be faced when evaluating lightning-induced overvoltages on a realistic network configuration is to implement the algorithm that solves the field-to-line coupling problem into an electromagnetic simulator that is able to r ...

Location Accuracy Evaluation of ToA-Based Lightning Location Systems Over Mountainous Terrain

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, we analyze the location error of time of arrival (ToA)-based lightning location systems (LLSs) caused by propagation effects over mountainous terrain around the Santis tower located in the Swiss Alps. The study is based on a full-wave three- ...

A methodology for the rigorous verification of Particle-in-Cell simulations

Paolo Ricci, Fabio Riva, Carrie Fiona Beadle

A methodology to perform a rigorous verification of Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations is presented, both for assessing the correct implementation of the model equations (code verification), and evaluating the numerical uncertainty affecting the simulation ...

The Gibbs free energy of homogeneous nucleation: From atomistic nuclei to the planar limit

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng, Gareth Aneurin Tribello

In this paper we discuss how the information contained in atomistic simulations of homogeneous nucleation should be used when fitting the parameters in macroscopic nucleation models. We show how the number of solid and liquid atoms in such simulations can ...

Analysis of a Plane Wave-Excited Subwavelength Circular Aperture in a Planar Conducting Screen Illuminating a Multilayer Uniaxial Sample

Juan Ramon Mosig, Krzysztof Michalski

A spectral domain analysis is presented of a plane wave-excited subwavelength circular aperture in a planar perfectly conducting screen in close proximity to a multilayer stack, which may comprise uniaxially anisotropic slices. The formulation employs the ...
