Since the $^4$He dimer supports only one weakly bound state with an average interatomic distance much larger than the van der Waals length and no deeply bound states, $^4$He$_N$ clusters with $N>2$ are a paradigmatic model system with which…
We predict general trends for surface segregation in a binary metal cluster based on the difference between the atomic properties of the constituent elements. Considering the attractive and repulsive contributions of the cohesive energy of…
We explore structural correlations of strongly asymmetric mixtures of binary charged colloids within the primitive model of electrolytes considering large charge and size ratios of 10 and higher. Using computer simulations with explicit…
Electronic structures of 13-atom Rh clusters with three possible high-symmetry geometries are studied using the discrete-variational local-spin-density-functional method. The ground state is found to be the icosahedral structure, and a…
Tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) is used to study the structural and electronic properties of silver clusters. The ground state structures of Ag clusters up to 21 atoms are optimized via TBMD combined with genetic algorithm (GA). The…
In liquid pnictogens, quasi-stable structures can be formed near melting temperature. The nature of their stability does not have the unified point of view. In the present work, the task of determining the degree of atomic bonding in these…
Ab initio-calculated ideal strength and toughness describe the upper limits for mechanical properties attainable in real systems and can, therefore, be used in selection criteria for materials design. We employ density-functional ab initio…
We investigate the influence of morphology and size on the vibrational properties of disordered clusters of colloidal particles with attractive interactions. From measurements of displacement correlations between particles in each cluster,…
At 300-3000K and 1-500MPa, variations of relative contents for small water clusters (H2O)n (n=1~6) were calculated by using statistical mechanical methods. First, 9 kinds of small water clusters were selected and their structures were…
First-principles, density-functional based electronic structure calculations are carried out for MgC(Ni_{1-x}Co_{x})_{3} alloys over the concentration range 0\leq x\leq1, using Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation (KKR…
We have investigated the crystal, electronic, and magnetic structure of Mn5O8 by means of state of-the-art density functional theory calculations and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) measurements. This compound stabilizes in the monoclinic…
We have carried out extensive density functional calculations for series of sodium clusters $Na$$_{N}$ ranging from $N$=10 to 147 and have obtained $\approx$ 13000 distinct isomers. We unravel a number of striking features of the growth…
Structural studies on the icosahedral quasicrystals in Zn-Mg-Sc, Cu-Ga-Mg-Sc, and Zn-Mg-Ti alloys as well as their corresponding 1/1 cubic approximants, have revealed that these quasicrystals belong to a new structural group similar to…
The structural, electronic, and elastic properties of three mixed transition metal carbonitrides TiNxC1-x, ZrNxC1-x, and HfNxC1-x (0<x<1) with the rock-salt structure were calculated at ambient and elevated up to 50 GPa hydrostatic…
Anion hydration is complicated by H-bond donation between neighboring water molecules in addition to H-bond donation to the anion. This situation can lead to competing structures for chemically simple clusters like (H$_2$O)$_n$Cl$^-$ and to…
The electronic structure and energetic stability of A$_2$BX$_6$ halide compounds with the cubic and tetragonal variants of the perovskite-derived K$_2$PtCl$_6$ prototype structure are investigated computationally within the frameworks of…
We use first principles calculations to study the electronic properties of rock salt rare earth monopnictides La$X$ ($X=$N, P, As, Sb, Bi). A new type of topological band crossing termed `linked nodal rings' is found in LaN when the small…
The electronic structure of radially polarized excitons in structured nanorings is analyzed, with emphasis in the ground-state properties and their dependence under applied magnetic fields perpendicular to the ring plane. The electron-hole…
The yet virtually unexplored class of soft colloidal rods with small aspect ratio is investigated and shown to exhibit a very rich phase and dynamic behavior, spanning from liquid to nearly melt state. Instead of nematic order, these short…
We have performed high-precision calculations of the hyperfine structure for n 2S_1/2 and n 2P_1/2 states of the alkali-metal atoms Rb, Cs, and Fr across principal quantum number n, and studied the trend in the size of the correlations. Our…
