An exchange-correction to the Fixed Diagonal Matrices (FDM) method is introduced to improve accuracy when employing a single reference wavefunction. Also, the performance of the Becke-Roussel exchange-hole for approximating the pair density…
We introduce a system-independent method to derive effective atomic C$_6$ coefficients and polarizabilities in molecules and materials purely from charge population analysis. This enables the use of dispersion-correction schemes in…
Reliable theoretical predictions of noncovalent interaction energies, which are important e.g. in drug-design and hydrogen-storage applications, belong to longstanding challenges of contemporary quantum chemistry. In this respect, the…
The growing interest in the dynamical properties of colloidal suspensions, both in equilibrium and under an external drive such as shear or pressure flow, requires the development of accurate methods to correctly include hydrodynamic…
This study presents a finite difference method (FDM) to model the electromagnetic field propagation in eccentric coaxial waveguides filled with lossy uniaxially anisotropic media. The formulation utilizes conformal transformation to map the…
In light of the recent discrepancies reported between fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo and local natural orbital coupled cluster with single, double and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) methodologies for non-covalent interactions in large…
We estimate polarizabilities of atoms in molecules without electron density, using a Voronoi tesselation approach instead of conventional density partitioning schemes. The resulting atomic dispersion coefficients are calculated, as well as…
Density-functional theory (DFT) has become the workhorse of modern computational chemistry, with dispersion corrections such as the exchange-hole dipole moment (XDM) model playing a key role in high-accuracy modelling of large-scale…
We review recently introduced numerical methods for the unbiased detection of the order parameter and/or dominant correlations, in many-body interacting systems, by using reduced density matrices. Most of the paper is devoted to the…
Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) and coupled cluster theory [CCSD(T)] are widely-employed benchmark methods for noncovalent interactions (NCIs). However, recent studies have reported notable discrepancies across several hydrogen-bonded…
We propose a high-order FDTD scheme based on the correction function method (CFM) to treat interfaces with complex geometry without increasing the complexity of the numerical approach for constant coefficients. Correction functions are…
We are interested in the discretisation of a drift-diffusion system in the framework of hybrid finite volume (HFV) methods on general polygonal/polyhedral meshes. The system under study is composed of two anisotropic and nonlinear…
This article presents a new force model for performing quantitative simulations of dense granular materials. Interactions between multiple contacts (MC) on the same grain are explicitly taken into account. Our readily applicable method…
In this paper, the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) has been applied to analyze the deformation of anisotropic geomaterials. In the most general case geomaterials are both non-homogeneous and non-isotropic. With the aim of…
Accurate treatment of the long-range electron correlation energy, including van der Waals (vdW) or dispersion interactions, is essential for describing the structure, dynamics, and function of a wide variety of systems. Among the most…
Finite-difference (FD) modeling of seismic waves in the vicinity of dipping interfaces gives rise to artifacts. Examples are phase and amplitude errors, as well as staircase diffractions. Such errors can be reduced in two general ways. In…
The accurate treatment of non-covalent interactions is necessary to model a wide range of applications, from molecular crystals to surface catalysts to aqueous solutions and many more. Quantum diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and coupled cluster…

Simulation of 3D low-frequency electromagnetic fields propagating in the Earth is computationally expensive. We present a fictitious wave domain high-order finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modelling method on nonuniform grids to compute…
A $^{238}$U projectile beam was used to create cadmium isotopes via abrasion-fission at 410 MeV/u in a beryllium target at the entrance of the in-flight separator FRS at GSI. The fission fragments were separated with the FRS and injected…
