Unresolved thin-film dynamics often causes spurious coalescence in diffuse-interface simulations of multiphase flows. We address this issue by introducing a fully local repulsive near-contact flux in a conservative Allen--Cahn phase-field…
Investigating atom-surface interactions is the key to an in-depth understanding of chemical processes at interfaces, which are of central importance in many fields -- from heterogeneous catalysis to corrosion. In this work, we present a…
Many-body interactions arise naturally in the perturbative treatment of classical and quantum many-body systems and play a crucial role in the description of condensed matter systems. In the case of three-body interactions, the…
Simple models for spherical particles with a soft shell have been shown to self-assemble into numerous crystal phases and even quasicrystals. However, most of these models rely on a simple pairwise interaction, which is usually a valid…
We propose a stroboscopic method to dynamically decouple the effects of two-body atom-atom interactions for ultracold atoms, and realize a system dominated by elastic three-body interactions. Using this method, we show that it is possible…
Symmetries play a crucial role in understanding phases of matter and the transitions between them. Theoretical investigations of quantum models with SU($N$) symmetry have provided important insights into many-body phenomena. However, these…
The effective interaction of downfolded low-energy models for electrons in solids can be obtained by integrating out the high energy bands away from the target band near the Fermi level. Here, we apply the constrained random-phase…
A new kind of the relativistic three-body equations for the coupled $\pi N$ and $\gamma N$ scattering reactions with the $\pi \pi N$ and $\gamma \pi N$ three particle final states are suggested. These equations are derived in the framework…
We theoretically analyze the interactions and decay rates for atoms dressed by multiple laser fields to strongly interacting Rydberg states using a quantum master equation approach. In this framework a comparison of two-level and…
The interaction of a bulk electron with conducting surfaces is studied by means of Bohm-Pines transformation in the second quantization formalism. The effective interaction potentials are obtained for the case of one plane and two plane…
The relative energies of different phases or polymorphs of molecular solids can be small, less than a kiloJoule/mol. Reliable description of such energy differences requires high quality treatment of electron correlations, typically beyond…
Aiming to combine density functional theory (DFT) and wavefunction theory, we study a mapping from the many-body interacting system to an effectively-interacting Kohn-Sham system instead of a non-interacting Kohn-Sham system. Because a…
Motivated by the recent experimental evidence of commensurate surface CDW in Pb/Ge(111) and Sn/Ge(111) $\sqrt{3}$-adlayer structures, as well as by the insulating states found on K/Si(111):B and SiC(0001), we have investigated the role of…
We use recent theoretical advances to develop a new functional form for interatomic forces in bulk silicon. The theoretical results underlying the model include a novel analysis of elastic properties for the diamond and graphitic structures…
We investigate the prospects of combining a standard momentum space approach for ultracold three-body scattering with efficient coordinate space schemes to solve the underlying two-body problem. In many of those schemes the two-body problem…
Programmable arrays of neutral Rydberg atoms are one of the leading platforms today for scalable quantum simulation and computation. In these systems, the dipole-dipole interactions between the individual atoms, or qubits, typically result…
We discuss different approximations for effective low-energy interactions in multi-band models for weakly correlated electrons. In the study of Fermi surface instabilities of the conduction band(s), the standard approximation consists only…
We present a new set of three-body interaction models based on the Bruch-McGee (BM) potential that are suitable for the study of the energy, structural and elastic properties of solid 4He at high pressure. Our ab initio three-body…
Radioactive decay of nuclei via emission of $\alpha$ particles has been studied theoretically in the framework of a superasymmetric fission model using the double folding (DF) procedure for obtaining the $\alpha$-nucleus interaction…
Ligand coated nanoparticles are complex objects consisting of a metallic or semiconductor core with organic ligands grafted on their surface. These organic ligands provide stability to a nanoparticle suspension. In solutions, the effective…
