The potential energy surface of LiBH4 is investigated by a ground-state search method based on simulated annealing and first-principles density functional theory calculations. A new stable orthogonal structure with Pnma symmetry is found, which is 9.66kJ/m ...
We compute the ground-state energy of atoms and quantum dots with a large number N of electrons. Both systems are described by a nonrelativistic Hamiltonian of electrons in a d-dimensional space. The electrons interact via the Coulomb potential. In the cas ...
Evidence is presented of an unusual Rydberg system consisting of a helium nanodroplet containing a positively charged sodium ion and an orbiting electron. Rydberg states of this system with principal quantum number n
A quantum-continuum multiscale coupling of Kohn-Sham density functional theory to continuum material is presented that can handle mechanics problems in metals when long-range stress fields are present, such as occurs for dislocations and cracks. The method ...
We introduce the impact parameter representation for conformal field theory correlators of the form A similar to (O1O2O1O2). This representation is appropriate in the eikonal kinematical regime, and approximates the conformal partial wave decomposition in ...
The authors report room temperature polariton lasing at lambda similar to 345 nm in a hybrid AlInN/AlGaN multiple quantum well microcavity (MQW-MC) containing a GaN/AlGaN MQW active region, i.e., the achievement under nonresonant optical excitation of cohe ...
We give a procedure for deriving certain bulk S-matrix elements from corresponding boundary correlators. These are computed in the plane-wave limit, via an explicit construction of certain boundary sources that give bulk wave packets. A critical role is pl ...
The structural changes due to formation of electronic bubbles in solid D2 are studied by fluorescence, fluorescence-excitation, and fluorescence-depletion spectroscopy of the lowest Rydberg state, A 2S+(3ss), of the NO impurity. The A X band is strongly bl ...
We study the Dvati-Gabadadze-Porrati model by the method of the boundary effective action. The truncation of this action to the bending mode pi consistently describes physics in a wide range of regimes both at the classical and at the quantum level. The Va ...
Because the spectral d. of Rydberg states scales with the third power of the principal quantum no. n, the region immediately below at. and mol. ionization thresholds is spectrally very dense. Studying the properties of high at. and mol. Rydberg states just ...
