Theoretical and computational approaches to the study of materials and molecules have, over the last few decades, progressed at an exponential rate. Yet, the possibility of producing numerical predictions that are on par with experimental measurements is t ...
The ground-breaking works of Weinberg have opened the way to calculations of atomic nuclei that are based on systematically improvable Hamiltonians. Solving the associated many-body Schrodinger equation involves non-trivial difficulties, due to the non-per ...
YMgNi4-based alloys exhibit reversible hydrogen absorption and desorption reactions at near room temperature. Here, we report that Co-substituted YMgNi4-based alloys exhibited higher hydrogen contents and lower hydrogen absorption and desorption reaction p ...
When a gravity-driven solid-fluid mixture, such as those in geophysical flows, hits a wall-like rigid obstacle, a metastable jammed zone called hydrodynamic dead zone (HDZ) may emerge. The unjammed-jammed transition of HDZ, controlled by the intricate inte ...
Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon into the atomic orbi ...
Single lanthanide atoms and molecules are promising candidates for atomic data storage and quantum logic due to the long lifetime of their magnetic quantum states. Accessing and controlling these states through electrical transport requires precise knowled ...
Electronic nearsightedness is one of the fundamental principles that governs the behavior of condensed matter and supports its description in terms of local entities such as chemical bonds. Locality also underlies the tremendous success of machine-learning ...
Over the last two decades, many technological and scientific discoveries, ranging from the development of materials for energy conversion and storage through the design of new drugs, have been accelerated by the use of preliminary in silico experiments, to ...
Computing the GW quasiparticle band structure and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) absorption spectra for materials with spin-orbit coupling have commonly been done by treating GW corrections and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) as separate perturbations to density- ...
Some nuclear isomers are known to store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a very high energy-to-mass ratio. Here, we describe a protocol to achieve the external control of the isomeric nuclear decay by using electron vortex beams who ...
