2 Introduction Describing the electronic state of a crystal in presence of a defect is a major issue in Quantum Chemistry and Physics. electronics and optics: doped semi-conductors, quantum dots,... material science: storage of radioactive waste,... Germanium crystal doped with arsenic or indium. Structural damage created by displacement of zirconium, silicon and oxygen atoms in crystalline zircon (a candidate for storing nuclear waste for over years) in the presence of a heavy nucleus. Farnan et al, Nature 445 (2007), 190. Mathieu LEWIN (CNRS / Cergy) Cristaux quantiques avec défauts Collège de France, 08/01/10 2 / 18
3 Introduction System of interest: infinitely many classical fixed nuclei (perturb. of periodic structure); infinitely many quantum electrons. Difficulties: infinitely many electrons variable = operator of infinite rank; nonlinear model lack of compactness at infinity; long range of Coulomb potential divergences; two scales.

6 Reduced Hartree-Fock model for a finite system Electrons (=fermions). Spin neglected for simplicity. Hartree-Fock state: a density matrix γ B(L 2 (R 3 )) s.t. 0 γ 1. tr(γ) = ρ γ = nb of particles in the system. Density of charge: ρ γ (x) = γ(x,x) s.t. tr(γv ) = ρ γ V. N [ ] Example: γ = ϕ i ϕ i Ψ(x 1,...,x N ) = (N!) 1/2 det(ϕ i (x j )). i=1 Reduced Hartree-Fock energy: Ext. elec. field V ext = µ 1 x, where µ = charge distrib. of nuclei. ( ) ˆ E µ rhf (γ) := tr 2 γ + V ext ρ γ + 1 ˆˆ ρ γ (x)ρ γ (y) dx dy R 3 2 R 6 x y Rmk. Not a quantitative model: exchange-correlation missing.

Thermodynamic limit: retain nuclei in a box C L = [ L/2;L/2) 3. Electrons in the whole space [CLL] or in C L, with chosen BC [CDL1]. Impose neutrality: N = C L µ per. As L, γ L CV to the unique L-periodic sol. of γ 0 per = χ (,ε F ) ( H 0 per ), H 0 per = 2 + V 0 per, V 0 per = 4π( ρ γ 0 per µ per ), with ˆ Γ ) (ρ γ µ 0per per = 0.

10 Introducing a defect Take µ = µ per + ν where ν= local defect. Goal: construct solution of γ = χ (,εf ) (H γ ) + δ, H γ = /2 + V γ, V γ = 4π ( ρ γ µ per ν ) with ε F gap. Meaning of ρ γ? Correct functional setting? Idea [CIL,HLSS]: write everything relatively to γ 0 per. ( ) Q = γ γ 0 per = χ (,εf ) (H γ ) χ (,εf ) ( H 0 per ) + δ, H γ = H 0 per + W Q, W Q = 4π ( ρ Q ν ).

11 Functional analysis setting Schatten classes: Let A= self-adjoint compact operator, A = i λ i ϕ i ϕ i (λ i 0). A Hilbert-Schmidt (A S 2 ) when i λ i 2 <. A trace-class (A S 1 ) when i λ i <. Then tr(a) = i λ i = k e k,ae k for any orth. basis {e k }. Density ρ A (x) = i λ i ϕ i (x) 2 L 1 (R 3 ). The sum k e k,ae k can CV for one basis and not for other ones! Generalization [HLSé]: A is γper 0 -trace-class (A S0 1 ) when A S 2 and A = γper 0 Aγ0 per, A++ = (γper 0 ) A(γper 0 ) S 1. Define tr 0 (A) = tr(a + A ++ ).

12 Existence of bound states Theorem (Existence of bound states [CDL1]) For all ε F in the gap and ν such that ν 1 L 2 (R 3 ) + C, there exists at least one solution Q to Eq. ( ), such that (1 ) 1/2 Q S 2, (1 ) 1/2 Q ±± (1 ) 1/2 S 1 and ρ Q L 2 (R 3 ) C. The associated density ρ Q is unique, hence so is the mean-field op. H γ. Only δ can vary among solutions. These states are the ones obtained in the thermo. limit. If ε F is fixed in the gap and ν is small enough, then ε F / σ(h Q ), hence δ 0 and Q is unique. Furthermore one has tr 0 (Q) = 0. Variational proof [CIL,HLSS]: formally E µper+ν rhf (γ) E µper+ν rhf (γper) 0 = tr ( HperQ 0 ) ˆˆ ρ Q (x)ν(y) dx dy R 6 x y + 1 ˆˆ ρ Q (x)ρ Q (y) dx dy := F ν (Q). 2 R 6 x y Mathieu LEWIN (CNRS / Cergy) Cristaux quantiques avec défauts Collège de France, 08/01/10 12 / 18
13 Variational interpretation F ν (Q) ε F tr 0 Q = tr 0 (H 0 per ε F)Q D(ν,ρ Q ) D(ρ Q,ρ Q ). Note 0 γ 1 γ 0 per Q (γ 0 per) Q 2 Q ++ Q tr 0 (H 0 per ε F )Q = tr H 0 per ε F (Q ++ Q ) tr H 0 per ε F Q 2 0. Theorem (Variational interpretation [CDL1]) For all ε F in the gap, F ε F tr 0 is strongly continuous and convex on K := {Q = Q : γ 0 per Q (γ 0 per), (1 ) 1/2 Q S 2, (1 ) 1/2 Q ±± (1 ) 1/2 S 1 }. Minimizers Q K are exactly the solutions of ( ). Any such Q also minimizes the pb ( ) E ν (q) = inf R K, tr 0 (R)=q Fν (R) where q = tr 0 (Q). One has E ν (q) < E ν (q q ) + E 0 (q ) for all q q and any minimizing sequence for ( ) is precompact in Q.

14 Properties of bound states Theorem (Properties of bound states [CL]) Fix ε F gap. Assume ν L 1 (R 3 ) L 2 (R 3 ) is small enough with R 3 ν 0. Then Q is not trace-class. If L is anisotropic, then ρ Q is not in L 1 (R 3 ). Reason: ρ Q = L(ρ Q ν) + o(ρ Q ν). L can be explicitely computed. f L 1 (R 3 ) lim k 0 L(f )(σ k ) = f (0)σ T Lσ for σ S 2. L 0 is given by the Adler-Wiser formula [Adl,Wis] + 2 (k x )u n,q,u n,q L 2per (Γ) k T Lk = 8π Γ N n=1 n =N+1 Γ ( ǫn,q ǫ n,q ) 3 dq, where ǫ n,q,u n,q = eigenvalues/vectors of Bloch Hamiltonian H 0 per (q). Always L 0; for anisotropic materials, L ci 3. [CL] Cancès & M.L. Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. (2010). [Adl] Adler, Phys. Rev. 126 (1962). [Wis] Wiser, Phys. Rev. 129 (1963).

15 Dielectric permittivity Theorem (Homogenization limit [CL]) Fix ε F gap and take ν η = η 3 ν( η). Let V η = (ρ Qη ν η ) 1. Then W η (x) = η 1 V η (x/η) CV weakly in C as η 0 to the unique sol. of div(ε M W ) = 4πν where ε M is a 3 3 symmetric matrix I 3, the (electronic contribution to the) macroscopic dielectric tensor of the perfect crystal. Explanation: ρ Q = L(ρ Q ν) + o(ρ Q ν) ν ρ Q = (1 + L) 1 ν +. ε M obtained from strong limit of U η (1 + L) 1 U η, U η = dilation unitary operator. Calculation: ε := vc 1/2 (1 + L)vc 1/2 where v c (ν) := ν 1. Bloch matrix { ε K,K (q)} K,K (2πZ) 3, q [ π, π)3. lim η 0 ε 0,0 (ση) = 1 + σ T Lσ, lim η 0 ε 0,K (ση) = β K σ, lim η 0 ε K,K (ση) = C K,K. Then [BarRes86]: ε M = 1 + L K,K (2πZ) 3 \{0} β K [C 1 ] K,K β K [BarRes86] Baroni and Resta, Phys. Rev. B 33 (1986).

16 Numerics I Two different scales: use of Bloch-Floquet transform to discretize periodic pb; use of localized Wannier basis for the locally perturbed pb. Ex: Maximally Localized Wannier functions [MV]. 1D simulation [CDL2]: Yukawa potential, Z = Modulus of the Maximally Localized Wannier Orbitals [MV] for the first two bands (red and green), the 3rd and 4th bands (blue and orange) [MV] Marzari, Vanderbilt.

18 Conclusion Possible to describe an infinite quantum system perturbed locally: use perfect system as reference; variational (as soon as the perturbation is localized enough); divergences; well-behaved associated numerical methods. Perspectives: simulations on real systems; theory of realistic models; time-dependent setting; relaxation of nuclei; correlation? metals?
