The objective of this CRADA was to use advanced computing techniques and architectures to model the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in layered transition metal alloy systems for the purpose of understanding and optimizing this effect for application to magnetic data storage devices.
Based on a computational procedure for determining the functional derivative with respect to the density of any antisymmetric N-particle wave function for a non-interacting system that leads to the density, we devise a test as to whether or not a wave function known to lead to a given density corresponds to a solution of a Schrödinger equation for some potential. We examine explicitly the case of non-interacting systems described by Slater determinants. Here, numerical examples for the cases of a one-dimensional square-well potential with infinite walls and the harmonic oscillator potential illustrate the formalism.
