Finite-size effects in the reconstruction of dynamic properties from ab initio path integral Monte Carlo simulations
Dornheim, T.; Vorberger, J.
Abstract
We systematically investigate finite-size effects in the dynamic structure factor S(q,ω) of the uniform electron gas obtained via the analytic continuation of ab initio path integral Monte Carlo data for the imaginary-time density–density correlation function F(q,τ). Using the recent scheme by Dornheim et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 255001 (2018)], we find that the reconstructed spectra are not afflicted with any finite-size effects for as few as N=14 electrons both at warm dense matter (WDM) conditions and at the margins of the strongly correlated electron liquid regime. Our results further corroborate the high quality of our current description of the dynamic density response of correlated electrons, which is of high importance for many applications in WDM theory and beyond.
