In this paper, we study the construction of structural models for the description of substitutional defects in crystalline materials. Predicting and designing the atomic structures in such systems is highly challenging due to the…
We propose a computationally lean, two-stage approach that reliably predicts self-assembly behavior of complex charged molecules on a metallic surfaces under electrochemical conditions. Stage one uses ab initio simulations to provide…
We present a new method for modeling disordered solid solutions, based on the virtual crystal approximation (VCA). The VCA is a tractable way of studying configurationally disordered systems; traditionally, the potentials which represent…
Chiral inorganic crystals, particularly semiconductors with Weyl points near the band edges or semimetals hosting Weyl points at the Fermi level, have attracted considerable interest, yet they remain scarce in existing materials databases.…
Tailoring the performance of next-generation high entropy materials requires a deep understanding of the competition between entropy-driven random solid solution and enthalpy-driven chemical ordering. Investigating such order and disorder…
The development of high-performance materials for microelectronics, energy storage, and extreme environments depends on our ability to describe and direct property-defining microstructural order. Our present understanding is typically…
The prediction of material structure from chemical composition has been a long-standing challenge in natural science. Although there have been various methodological developments and successes with computer simulations, the prediction of…
Predicting material properties of disordered systems remains a long-standing and formidable challenge in rational materials design. To address this issue, we introduce an automated software framework capable of modeling partial occupation…
Whereas knowledge of a crystalline material's unit cell is fundamental to understanding the material's properties and behavior, there are not obvious analogues to unit cells for disordered materials despite the frequent existence of…
The present work deals with the formulation of a Virtual Element Method (VEM) for two dimensional structural problems. The contribution is split in two parts: in part I, the elastic problem is discussed, while in part II [3] the method is…
Constructing accurate interatomic potential and overcoming the exponential growth of structural equilibration time are challenges to the atomistic investigations of the composition-dependent structure and dynamics during the vitrification…
Physical systems are frequently modeled as sets of points in space, each representing the position of an atom, molecule, or mesoscale particle. As many properties of such systems depend on the underlying ordering of their constituent…
The generation of plausible crystal structures is often the first step in predicting the structure and properties of a material from its chemical composition. Quickly generating and predicting inorganic crystal structures is important for…
The prediction of energetically stable crystal structures formed by a given chemical composition is a central problem in solid-state physics. In principle, the crystalline state of assembled atoms can be determined by optimizing the energy…
Machine learning interatomic potentials have revolutionized complex materials design by enabling rapid exploration of material configurational spaces via crystal structure prediction with ab initio accuracy. However, critical challenges…
How, in principle, could one solve the atomic structure of a quasicrystal, modeled as a random tiling decorated by atoms, and what techniques are available to do it? One path is to solve the phase problem first, obtaining the density in a…
We introduce a new real space super cell approximation method for treating the electronic states of disordered systems. This method is general and allows both randomness in the on-site energies and in the hopping integrals. In the special…
We propose an efficient method for the numerical approximation of a general class of two dimensional semilinear parabolic problems on polygonal meshes. The proposed approach takes advantage of the properties of the serendipity version of…
Efficient heuristics have predicted many functional materials such as high-temperature superconducting hydrides, while inorganic structural chemistry explains why and how the crystal structures are stabilized. Here we develop the paired…
The Virtual Element Method for diffusion-convection-reaction problems is considered. In order to design a quasi-robust scheme also in the convection-dominated regime, a Continuous Interior Penalty approach is employed. Due to the presence…
