While studying magnetism of d- and f-electron systems has been consistently an active research area in physics, chemistry, and biology, there is an increasing interest in the novel magnetism of p-electron systems, especially in graphene and graphene-

The computational cost of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of realistic periodic systems depends strongly on the method of storing and evaluating the many-particle wave function. Previous work by Williamson et al. (2001) 35 and Alfe and Gillan,

A force-matched spline-based empirical potential based on the modified embedded-atom method is fit to an extensive database of highly converged density functional theory calculations for titanium-niobium alloys with an evolutionary algorithm. Consist

Density-functional theory forces, stresses, and energies comprise a database from which the optimal parameters of a spline-based empirical potential combining Stillinger-Weber and modified embedded-atom forms are determined. The accuracy of the poten

Quantum Monte Carlo approaches such as the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method are among the most accurate many-body methods for extended systems. Their scaling makes them well suited for defect calculations in solids. We review the various approximat

Silica (SiO 2 ) is an abundant component of the Earth whose crystalline polymorphs play key roles in its structure and dynamics. First principle density functional theory (DFT) methods have often been used to accurately predict properties of silicate

First-principles studies of the formation and dynamics of silicon interstitial-clusters suggest a possible growth mechanism of silicon interstitial-chains as seen in macroscopic 311 planar defects. The relative populations of the three lowest-energy

The onset and kinetics of martensitic transformations are controlled by impurities trapped during the transformation. For the alpha to omega transformation in Ti, ab initio methods yield the changes in both the relative stability of and energy barrie

A first-principle quasiparticle theory in the GW approximation is used to compute valence and conduction band offsets, VBO and CBO, respectively, for hexagonal and cubic AlN–GaN interfaces. We find type I band offsets that depend on the in-plane la

We apply parallel replica dynamics to simulate the growth of silicon interstitial clusters. Existing interstitial clusters are efficient traps for mobile interstitial and di-interstitial defects. For clusters involving more than four interstitials, m
