Temperature

The effect of temperature can be added by calculating excited states and expectation values of excited states. The temperature dependent expectation value is then created using Boltzmann statistics.

A small example:

Temperature.Quanty
-- Sofar we calculated eigenstates and expectation values (or spectra) of these
-- eigenstates. At 0 K one would measure the expectation value of the lowest eigenstate
-- at finite temperature one would measure an average over several states weighted by
-- Boltzmann statistics. In this example we calculate the temperature dependent 
-- x-ray absorption spectra of NiO. (Ni L23 edge 2p to 3d)
 
-- we set the verbosity to 0 in order to minimize the output
Verbosity(0)
 
-- the beginning of this file is the same as example 21 where x-ray absorption is calculated
 
-- In order to do crystal-field theory for NiO we need to define a Ni d-shell.
-- A d-shell has 10 elements and we label again the even spin-orbitals to be spin down
-- and the odd spin-orbitals to be spin up. In order to calculate 2p to 3d excitations we
-- also need a Ni 2p shell. We thus have a total of 10+6=16 fermions, 6 Ni-2p and 10 Ni-3d
-- spin-orbitals

-- Ni-2p shell. There is actually only one of these interactions, which is the Ni-2p
-- spin-orbit interaction
 
Oppcldots= NewOperator("ldots", NF, IndexUp_2p, IndexDn_2p)
 
-- we also need to define the Coulomb interaction between the Ni 2p- and Ni 3d-shell
-- Again the interaction (e^2/(|r_i-r_j|)) is expanded on spherical harmonics. For the interaction
-- between two shells we need to consider two cases. For the direct interaction a 2p electron
-- scatters of a 3d electron into a 2p and 3d electron. The radial integrals involve
-- the square of a 2p radial wave function at coordinate 1 and the square of a 3d radial
-- wave function at coordinate 2. The transfer of angular momentum can either be 0 or 2.
-- These processes are called direct and the resulting Slater integrals are F[0] and F[2].
-- The second proces involves a 2p electron scattering of a 3d electron into the 3d shell
-- and at the same time the 3d electron scattering into a 2p shell. These exchange processes
-- involve radial integrals over the product of a 2p and 3d radial wave function. The transfer
-- of angular momentum in this case can be 1 or 3 and the Slater integrals are called G1 and G3.
 
-- In Quanty you can enter these processes by labeling 4 indices for the orbitals, once
-- the 2p shell with spin up, 2p shell with spin down, 3d shell with spin up and 3d shell with
-- spin down. Followed by the direct Slater integrals (F0 and F2) and the exchange Slater 
-- integrals (G1 and G3)
 
-- Here we define the operators separately and later sum them with appropriate prefactors
