The geometric and electronic structures of NaN, CuN, and AgN metal clusters are systematically studied based on the density functional theory over a wide range of cluster sizes 2=<N=<75. A remarkable similarity is observed between the…

Subgroup discovery (SGD) is presented here as a data-mining approach to help find interpretable local patterns, correlations, and descriptors of a target property in materials-science data. Specifically, we will be concerned with data…

Using a real-space high order finite-difference approach, we investigate the electronic structure of large spherical silicon nanoclusters. Within Kohn-Sham density functional theory and using pseudopotentials, we report the self-consistent…

Analysis of small angle scattering (SAS) data requires intensive modelling to infer and characterize the structures present in a sample. This iterative improvement of models is a time consuming process. Here we present the Scattering…

Molecular simulations have provided valuable insight into the microscopic mechanisms underlying homogeneous ice nucleation. While empirical models have been used extensively to study this phenomenon, simulations based on first-principles…

We investigate equilibrium microstructures exhibited by diblock copolymers in confined 3D geometries. We perform Self-Consistent Field Theory (SCFT) simulations using a finite-element based computational framework (Ackerman et al. 2017),…

We review Intermediate Phases (IPs) in chalcogenide glasses and provide a structural interpretation of these phases. In binary group IV selenides, IPs reside in the 2.40 < r < 2.54 range, and in binary group V selenides they shift to a…

Using density-functional-theory calculations, we have identified new stable configurations for tri-, tetra-, and penta-vacancies in silicon. These new configurations consist of combinations of a ring-hexavacancy with three, two, or one…

Electronic density of states (DOS) is a key factor in condensed matter physics and material science that determines the properties of metals. First-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have typically been used to obtain…

We present a method (the Aufbau/Abbau method) for optimizing the structure of a whole series of clusters without making any assumptions on the structure. Subsequently, the method is combined with the embedded-atom method in determining the…

Based on the third allotropic form of carbon (Fullerenes) through theoretical study have been predicted structures described as non-classical fullerenes. We have studied novel allotropic carbon structures with a closed cage configuration…

Two new perovskite oxychalcogenides, Ca2CuFeO3S and Ca2CuFeO3Se, have been synthesized in evacuated quartz tubes. They crystallize in P4/nmm space group with lattice parameters a = 3.8271(1), c = 14.9485(2) {\AA} and a = 3.8605(1), c =…

Two different preparation methods (liquid-quenching and evaporation) of chalcogenide glasses have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Our particular aim was to determine how the structural changes occur due to the different…

The atomic-level structure of bulk metallic glasses is a key determinant of their properties. An accurate representation of amorphous systems in computational studies has traditionally required large supercells that are unfortunately…

In this paper, we extend a recently developed machine-learning (ML) based CREASE-2D method to analyze the entire two-dimensional (2D) scattering pattern obtained from small angle X-ray scattering measurements of supramolecular dipeptide…

Amorphous solids such as glass are ubiquitous in our daily life and have found broad applications ranging from window glass and solar cells to telecommunications and transformer cores. However, due to the lack of long-range order, the…

The ground-state electronic and structural properties, and the electronic excitations of the lowest energy isomers of the Ag$_8$ cluster are calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) in real time and…

Simulations of isolated binary mergers of galaxy clusters are a useful tool to study the evolution of these objects. For exceptionally massive systems they even represent the only viable way of simulation, because these are rare in typical…

A structural model for intermediate sized silicon clusters is proposed that is able to generate unique structures without any dangling bonds. This structural model consists of bulk-like core of five atoms surrounded by fullerene-like…
