Correlation energy of the spin-polarized electron liquid studied using quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (VMC and DMC) methods with Slater-Jastrowbackflow trial wave functions are used to study the spin-polarized three-dimensional uniform electron fluid. We report ground state VMC and DMC energies in the density range 0.5 ≤ rs ≤ 20. Finite-size errors are c...
