论文摘要
我们将密度功能理论(DFT)整合到定量收敛梁电子衍射(QCBED)中,以在称为QCBED-DFT的实验和理论之间产生协同作用。这种协同作用完全存在于电子密度,在实际材料中,这产生了QCBED-DFT用于完善DFT模型参数的实验性CBED模式。我们使用它来测量两个强相关的电子系统NIO和CEB6(UNIO = 7.4 +/- 0.6 eV和UCEB6 = 3.0 +/- 0.6 eV)的Hubbard Energy u,ceb6(x = 0.1992 +/- 0.0003)。在验证我们的测量值时,我们为任何建模的电子密度展示了精确测试。
We have integrated density functional theory (DFT) into quantitative convergent-beam electron diffraction (QCBED) to create a synergy between experiment and theory called QCBED-DFT. This synergy resides entirely in the electron density which, in real materials, gives rise to the experimental CBED patterns used by QCBED-DFT to refine DFT model parameters. We used it to measure the Hubbard energy, U, for two strongly correlated electron systems, NiO and CeB6 (UNiO = 7.4 +/- 0.6 eV and UCeB6 = 3.0 +/- 0.6 eV), and the boron position parameter, x, for CeB6 (x = 0.1992 +/- 0.0003). In verifying our measurements, we demonstrate an accuracy test for any modelled electron density.
