High-order correlation effects on dynamic hyperpolarizabilities and their geometric derivatives: A comparison with density functional results
Second harmonic generation hyperpolarizabilities and their geometric derivatives have been calculated for HF, HCl, CO, and LiF, using the coupled cluster hierarchies, CCS, CC2, CCSD, CC3, and large co...

Time-dependent barrier passage of a non-Ohmic damping system
We consider a particle passing over the saddle point of an inverse harmonic potential, which is described by a generalized Langevin equation with a non-Ohmic damping of power exponent . The time-depen...

In this paper a new algorithm is presented that improves the efficiency of Wang and Landau algorithm or density of states (DOS) Monte Carlo simulations by employing rejected states. The algorithm is shown to have a performance superior to that of the original Wang-Landau [F. Wang and D. P. Landau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2050 (2001)] algorithm and the more recent configurational temperature DOS algorithm. The performance of the method is illustrated in the context of results for the Lennard-Jones fluid. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
