Bose-Einstein condensates with balanced gain and loss in a double-well potential have been shown to exhibit PT-symmetric states. As proposed by Kreibich et al [Phys. Rev. A 87, 051601(R) (2013)], in the mean-field limit the dynamical…

The relative energies of different phases or polymorphs of molecular solids can be small, less than a kiloJoule/mol. Reliable description of such energy differences requires high quality treatment of electron correlations, typically beyond…

Helium diffusion in metals is the basic requirement of nucleation and growth of bubble, which gives rise to adverse degradation effects on mechanical properties of structural materials in reactors under irradiation. Multi-scale modeling…
