Calculation of Elastic Green's Functions for Lattices with Cavities
In this Brief Report, we present an algorithm for calculating the elastic
Lattice Greens Function of a regular lattice, in which defects are created by
removing lattice points. The method is computationally efficient, since the
required matrix operations are on matrices that scale with the size of the
defect subspace, and not with the size of the full lattice. This method allows
the treatment of force fields with multi-atom interactions.Comment: 3 pages. RevTeX, using epsfig.sty. One figur
