This article contains data on structural characterization of the [C2Mim][NTf2] in bulk and in nano-confined environment obtained using MD simulations. These data supplement those presented in the paper Insights from Molecular Dynamics…
We use models of the rates of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and core-collapse supernovae, built in such a way that both are consistent with recent observational constraints at z<1.6 and can reproduce the measured cosmic star formation rate,…
We resolve the long-standing controversy over the surface energy of simple metals: Density functional methods that require uniform-electron-gas input agree with each other at many levels of sophistication, but not with high-level correlated…
We present a systematic study of the geometries, energetics, electronic structure and bonding in various Al-Li clusters viz. AlnLin ($n$=1-11), Al$_2^-$, Al$_2^{2-}$, Al$_2$Li, Al$_2$Li$^-$, and Al6Li8 using Born-Oppenheimer molecular…
A simple, practical model for computing the equilibrium thermodynamics and structure of jellium by classical strong coupling methods is proposed. An effective pair potential and coupling constant are introduced, incorporating the ideal gas,…
Atom-in-jellium calculations of the Einstein frequency in condensed matter and of the equation of state were used to predict the variation of shear modulus from zero pressure to ~$10^7$ g/cm$^3$, for several elements relevant to white dwarf…
The electronic properties of one-dimensional clusters of N atoms or molecules have been studied. The model used is similar to the Kronig-Penney model with the potential offered by each ion being approximated by an attractive delta function.…
We have studied and resolved occupancy correlations in the existing average structure model of the complex metallic alloy xi'-Al-Pd-Mn [Boudard et al., Phil. Mag. A, 74, 939 (1996)], which has approximately 320 atoms in the unit cell and…
Dissociation and fission of small neutral, singly and doubly charged strontium clusters are studied by means of ab initio density functional theory methods and high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Magic numbers for small…
Soft-granular media, such as dense emulsions, foams or tissues, exhibit either fluid- or solid-like properties depending on the applied external stresses. Whereas bulk rheology of such materials has been thoroughly investigated, the…
The interest to foster plasmonic applications at energies in the ultra-violet, has escalated research initiatives in clusters of unconventional plasmonic materials like aluminum and indium,for which the surface-plasmon resonance appears…
We present a cluster-based density-functional approach to model charge transport through molecular and atomic contacts. The electronic structure of the contacts is determined in the framework of density functional theory, and the parameters…
A good understanding and determination of colloidal interactions is paramount to comprehend and model the thermodynamic and structural properties of colloidal suspensions. In concentrated aqueous suspensions of colloids with a titratable…
We propose a generalisation of molecular density functional theory to describe inhomogeneous solvent mixture, with the objective of modelling electrolytic solutions. Two electrolytic models are presented, both within the HNC approximation.…
We use Chandra X-ray data to measure the metallicity of the intracluster medium (ICM) in 245 massive galaxy clusters selected from X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect surveys, spanning redshifts $0<z<1.2$. Metallicities were measured…
Classical molecular dynamics simulation with embedded atom method potential had been performed to investigate the surface structure and solidification morphology of aluminum nanoclusters Aln (n = 256, 604, 1220 and 2048). It is found that…
A novel computational treatment of dense, stiff, coupled reaction rate equations is introduced to study the nucleation, growth, and possible coalescence of cavities during neutron irradiation of metals. Radiation damage is modeled by the…
In this work, employing the exchange-only orbital-dependent functional, we have obtained the optimized effective potential using the simple iterative method proposed by K\"ummel and Perdew [S. K\"ummel and J. P. Perdew, Phys. Rev. Lett.…
Analytical expressions for the binding energy of electrons and positrons in dielectric clusters, analysed in this work, neglect the elastic effects. Therefore, we present the density-functional theory for neutral liquid clusters that…
Electron dynamics in metallic clusters are examined using a time-dependent density functional theory that includes a 'memory term', i.e. attempts to describe temporal non-local correlations. Using the Iwamoto, Gross and Kohn…
