Abstract

ABSTRACTFour linear scaling tight binding methods (the density matrix method, bond order potentials, the global density of states method, and the Fermi operator expansion) are described and compared to show relative computational efficiency for a given accuracy. The density matrix method proves to be most efficient for systems with narrow features in their energy gaps, while recursion based moments methods prove to be most efficient for metallic systems.
