Understanding how to produce forces using biomolecular building blocks is essential for the development of adaptive synthetic cells and living materials. Here we ask whether a dynamic polymer system can generate deformation forces in soft…

In this study, we formulate a density functional theory (DFT) for systems of labeled particles, considering a two-dimensional bead-spring lattice with a magnetic dipole on every bead as a model for ferrogels. On the one hand, DFT has been…

The electronic and magnetic properties of many strongly-correlated systems are controlled by a limited number of states, located near the Fermi level and well isolated from the rest of the spectrum. This opens a formal way for combining the…

We present a unified scaling theory for the dynamics of monomers for dilute solutions of semiflexible polymers under good solvent conditions in the free draining limit. Our theory encompasses the well-known regimes of mean square…

Within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory combined with the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function formalism, we present a real space methodology to investigate dynamical magnetic excitations from first-principles. We…

Spin-density-functional theory (SDFT) is the most widely implemented and applied formulation of density-functional theory. However, it is still finding novel applications, and occasionally encounters unexpected problems. In this paper we…

Self-assembled linear structures like giant cylindrical micelles or discotic molecules in solution stacked in flexible columns are systems reminiscent of polydisperse polymer solutions.These supramolecular polymers have an equilibrium…

Locality of compact one-electron orbitals expanded strictly in terms of local subsets of basis functions can be exploited in density functional theory (DFT) to achieve linear growth of computation time with systems size, crucial in…

The low-T part of the phase diagram in self-assembling systems is correctly predicted by the known versions of the density functional theory (DFT). The high-T part obtained in DFT, however, does not agree with simulations even on the…

The dynamics of a many-body system coupled to an external environment represents a fundamentally important problem. To this class of open quantum systems pertains the study of energy transport and dissipation, dephasing, quantum measurement…

We formulate and implement Cyclic Density Functional Theory (Cyclic DFT) -- a self-consistent first principles simulation method for nanostructures with cyclic symmetries. Using arguments based on Group Representation Theory, we rigorously…

The stationary functional of the all-electron density functional plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) formalism to perform free energy calculations and structural relaxations is implemented for the first time. Here, the first order…

Modeling many-body quantum systems with strong interactions is one of the core challenges of modern physics. A range of methods has been developed to approach this task, each with its own idiosyncrasies, approximations, and realm of…

We study structural relaxation of colloidal hard spheres undergoing Brownian motion using dynamical density functional theory. Contrary to the partial linearization route [Stopper {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 92}, 022151 (2015)] which…

Density functional theory (DFT) is the de facto approach for predicting self-consistent-field electronic structures of ground-state configurations of complex atoms, molecules, and solids and providing their property data for materials…

The formalism of density functional theory (DFT) can be easily extended to the time dependent case (TDDFT). However, while in the static case the theory is well established and is expected to be, at least in principle, an exact approach for…

We propose a hybrid approach which employs the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) self-energy for the correlated, typically rather localized orbitals and a conventional density functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation potential for the…

The theory of transport phenomena in multicomponent electrolyte solutions is presented here through the integration of continuum mechanics, electromagnetism, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The governing equations of irreversible…

The transport of biomolecules, drugs, or reactants encapsulated inside stimuli-responsive polymer networks in aqueous media is fundamental for many material and environmental science applications, including drug delivery, biosensing,…

Dimerization and subsequent aggregation of polymers and biopolymers often occur under nonequilibrium conditions. When the initial state of the polymer is not collapsed or the final folded native state, the dynamics of dimerization can…
