The Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is applied to the water monomer, dimer, and hexamer, using q-TIP4P/F, one of the most simple, empirical water models with flexible monomers. The bias in the time step ($\Delta\tau$) and population size…
Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) is one of the most accurate techniques available for calculating the electronic properties of molecules and materials, yet it often remains a challenge to economically compute forces using this technique. As a…
We have applied the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method to calculate the cohesive energy and the structural parameters of the binary oxides CaO, SrO, BaO, Sc2O3, Y2O3 and La2O3. The aim of our calculations is to systematically…
We report a study of the electronic dissociation energy of the water dimer using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques. We have performed variational quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations of the…
We present a quantum Monte Carlo study of the hydrogen-benzene system where binding is very weak. We demonstrate that the binding is well described at both variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) levels by a Jastrow…
We present results of Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations for a system of solid ortho-D_2 at different densities, for pressure ranging from 0 up to 350MPa. We compare the equation of state obtained using two of the most used effective…
We have used diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations to calculate the energy barrier for H$_2$ dissociation on the Mg(0001) surface. The calculations employ pseudopotentials and systematically improvable B-spline basis sets to expand the…

A rich literature has been produced on the quantum states of atoms and molecules confined into infinite potential wells with a specified symmetry. Apart from their interest as basic quantum systems, confined atoms and molecules are useful…
Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) based on fixed-node approximation has enjoyed significant developments in the past decades and become one of the go-to methods when accurate ground state energy of molecules and materials is needed. The remaining…
Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations are performed on the monocyclic and bicyclic forms of m-benzyne, which are the equilibrium structures at the CCSD(T) and CCSD levels of coupled cluster theory. We employed multi-configuration…
We have applied the many-body ab-initio diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method to study Zn and ZnO crystals under pressure, and the energetics of the oxygen vacancy, zinc interstitial and hydrogen impurities in ZnO. We show that DMC is…
We investigate the BCS-BEC crossover in a bilayer system of fermionic dipoles at zero temperature using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo technique. The dipoles are confined on two parallel planes separated by a distance $\lambda$ and…
Electronic structure of layered LiNiO2 has been controversial despite numerous theoretical and experimental reports regarding its nature. We investigate the charge densities, lithium intercalation potentials and Li diffusion barrier…
