Glasses are known to have medium range order (MRO) but its link to any experimentally measurable quantity is still ambiguous. The first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) in structure-factor S(q) obtained from diffraction experiments on glasses…

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are amorphous alloys with desirable mechanical properties and processing capabilities. To date, the design of new BMGs has largely employed empirical rules and trial-and-error experimental approaches. Ab initio…

Atomistic modeling is a widely employed theoretical method of computational materials science. It has found particular utility in the study of magnetic materials. Initially, magnetic empirical interatomic potentials or spin-polarized…

We propose here a method to generate random networked amorphous structure using only readily available short-range properties like bond lengths, bond angles and connectivity of the constituents. This method is a variant of Monte-Carlo (MC)…

We present a new efficient way to perform hybrid density functional theory (DFT) based electronic structure calculation. The new method uses an interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) procedure to construct a set of numerical…

For reliable and efficient inclusion of electron-electron correlation effects in nanosystems we propose a combined density-functional-theory/nonhomogeneous dynamical-mean-field-theory (DFT + DMFT) approach which employs an approximate…

A simplified density functional theory (DFT) method for charged adsorbates on an ultrathin, insulating film supported by a metal substrate is developed and presented. This new method is based on a previous DFT development that uses a…

Modeling inorganic glasses requires an accurate representation of interatomic interactions, large system sizes to allow for intermediate-range structural order, and slow quenching rates to eliminate kinetically trapped structural motifs.…

Ionization potential depression (IPD) is of crucial importance to understand and accurately predict the properties of dense partially ionized plasmas. Many models of IPD have been developed that, however, exhibit largely varying results.…

Computational modeling of high entropy alloys (HEA) is challenging given the scalability issues of Density functional theory (DFT) and the non-availability of Interatomic potentials (IP) for molecular dynamics simulations (MD). This work…

Molecular-level understanding of the interactions between the constituents of an atomic structure is essential for designing novel materials in various applications. This need goes beyond the basic knowledge of the number and types of…

An analytical framework is proposed to describe the elasticity, viscosity and fragility of metallic glasses in relation to their atomic-level structure and the effective interatomic interaction. The bottom-up approach starts with forming an…

Theoretical material investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) has been a breakthrough in the last century. Nevertheless, the optical properties calculated by DFT generally show poor agreement with experimental results…

First-principles simulations of electronic properties of hybrid inorganic/organic interfaces are challenging, as common density-functional theory (DFT) approximations target specific material classes like bulk semiconductors or gas-phase…

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of electrode material properties in high energy density storage devices like lithium batteries have been standard practice for decades. In contrast, DFT modelling of explicit interfaces in…

Durable interest in developing a framework for the detailed structure of glassy materials has produced numerous structural descriptors that trade off between general applicability and interpretability. However, none approach the combination…

The dynamical properties of a three dimensional model glass, the frustrated Ising lattice gas (FILG) are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. We present results of compression experiments, where the chemical potential is either slowly or…

Most of the performances of electrochemical devices are governed by molecular processes taking place at the solution-electrode interfaces and molecular simulation are the main way to study these processes. Aqueous electrochemical systems…
