Two-component density functional theory study of quantized muons in solids

The quantum effect of light nuclei in materials is usually considered as lattice vibration and zero-point motion (ZPM) from an ab initio perspective. Here we start from full-quantized particles and take the muon as an example, considering the two-body quantized system of the muon and the electrons within Two-Component Density Functional Theory, which can calculate the related two-body wave functions directly and automatically taking into account the quantum effect of the muon. This is an attempt to reveal the quantum effect of light nuclei in materials from a different respect. It is tested in some metallic systems (Fe-bcc, Co-fcc, Co-hcp) and some non-metallic systems (NaF, CaF₂, diamond), we finally find this fundamental method agrees better with experiments and shows good potential for further such study.
