* - SLDA:
|
|
|
* for simulating unitary Fermi gas,
|
|
|
* it sets effective mass of particles to 1.0 which assures better convergence properties,
|
|
|
* in case of time time-dependent calculations SLDA is about 2x faster than ASLDA.
|

|
|
|
* for simulating unitary Fermi gas,
|
|
|
* at qualitative level it produces results compatible with SLDA, however it is more accurate,
|
|
|
* due to presence of current terms in the functional it has worse convergence properties.
|

* you MUST set aBdG value in input file when using this functional.

# BdG - Bogoliubov de-Gennes functional
|
|
|
The BdG functional is equivalent to Bogoliubov de-Gennes mean-field approximation. This approximation is valid in BCS regime, under assumption $`-ak_F`<1$. The functional has form:
|
|
|
```math
|
|
|
\mathcal{E}_{\textrm{edf}}(n,\nu,\ldots) = \frac{\tau_{\uparrow}}{2} +
|
|
|
\frac{\tau_{\downarrow}}{2}
|
|
|
+ g\nu^{\dagger}\nu
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
The (bare) coupling constant $`g`$ is related to scattering length by the formula $`g=4\pi\hbar^2a/m`$.
