We investigate the minus-sign problem that afflicts quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of frustrated quantum spin systems, focusing on spin S = 1/2, two spatial dimensions, and the extended Shastry-Sutherland model. We show that formulating the Hamilton ...
Monte Carlo simulations are the foundational technique for predicting thermodynamic properties of open systems where the process of interest involves the exchange of particles. Thus, they have been used extensively to computationally evaluate the adsorptio ...
With an increase of computational capabilities, ab initio molecular dynamics becomes the natural choice for exploring the nuclear dynamics of solids. As based on classical mechanics, the validity of this approach is, in-principle, limited to the high-T reg ...
Atomistic simulations of chemical, biological and materials systems have become increasingly precise and predictive owing to the development of accurate and efficient techniques that describe the quantum mechanical behaviour of electrons. Nevertheless, the ...
Thermodynamic properties of liquid water as well as hexagonal (Ih) and cubic (Ic) ice are predicted based on density functional theory at the hybrid-functional level, rigorously taking into account quantum nuclear motion, anharmonic fluctuations, and proto ...
Free energies play a central role in many descriptions of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of solids. Continuum partial differential equations (PDEs) of atomic transport, phase transformations and mechanics often rely on first and second derivati ...
The methane deliverable capacity of adsorbent materials is a critical performance metric that will determine the viability of using adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology in vehicular applications. ARPA-E recently set a target deliverable capacity of 315 cc ...
The formation pathway of biominerals archetypes, namely calcium carbonate (CaC) and calcium phosphates (CaPs), was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach.
The time-resolved analytical data were collected using a controlled-composition method and i ...
Synergistic and nonsynergistic surfactant-water mixtures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), lauryl betaine (C12B), and cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) systems are studied using molecular simulation to understand the role of interactions among headgroups, tail ...
We report on a combined computational and experimental examination of coherent precipitation in a Mg-Nd alloy, a prototypical Mg-rare earth alloy. Three-dimensional phase field simulations are conducted to predict the composition and morphology of precipit ...
