  • Multipolar polarizabilities and Rydberg states 
    Krishnagopal, S; Narasimhan, Shobhana; Patil, S H (American Institute of Physics, 1985-06-12)
    We have calculated multipolar polarizabilities for several atoms and ions, using some semiclassical relations and incorporating the correct asymptotic behavior in the electronic densities. We have also obtained simple ...

    We have carried out a realistic ab initio calculation of the contribution of cubic anharmonicity to the inverse lifetime GAMMA and the frequency shift DELTA of phonons in silicon. The cubic coupling constants for phonons ...
  • Elastic-Stress Domains and the Herringbone Reconstruction on Au(111) 
    Narasimhan, Shobhana; Vanderbilt, David (American Physical Society, 1992-09-07)
    We suggest that the herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface results from the spontaneous formation of "stress domains." The surface is described theoretically by a 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model. Upon including ...
  • First Principles Pseudopotential Calculations on Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys 
    Davenport, J W; Chetty, N; Marr, R B; Narasimhan, Shobhana; Pasciak, J E; Peierls, R F; Weinert, M (Brookhaven National Laboratory, 1994)
    Recent advances in computational techniques have led to the possibility of performing first principles calculations of the energetics of alloy formation on systems involving several hundred atoms. This includes impurity ...
  • An ab initio study of polytetrahedral packing: the Al-Mg system 
    Narasimhan, Shobhana; Davenport, James W (American Physical Society, 1995-01-01)
    We have performed first-principles local-density-approximation calculations on aluminum-magnesium intermetallic compounds. Experimental studies of this system have shown that complex topologically close-packed structures ...
  • A model for the thermal expansion of Ag(111) and other metal surfaces 
    Narasimhan, Shobhana; Scheffler, Matthais (R Oldenbourg Verlag, 1997)
    We develop a model to study the thermal expansion of surfaces, wherein phonon frequencies are obtained from ab initio total energy calculations. Anharmonic effects are treated exactly in the direction normal to the surface, ...

  • Reversed anisotropies and thermal contraction of fcc (110 ) surfaces 
    Narasimhan, Shobhana (American Physical Society, 2001-09-10)
    The observed anisotropies of surface vibrations for unreconstructed fcc metal (110) surfaces are often reversed from the “common sense” expectation; for example, atoms in the top layer have larger amplitudes of vibration ...
