We analyze the electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) nanoribbons close to the magic angle. We describe a transition from an incomplete to a complete moir\'e structure. By considering zigzag and armchair edge terminations,…
The optimized structure and electronic properties of neutral and singly charged magnesium clusters have been investigated using ab initio theoretical methods based on density-functional theory and systematic post-Hartree-Fock many-body…
The tight binding model is a minimal electronic structure model for molecular modelling and simulation. We show that the total energy in this model can be decomposed into site energies, that is, into contributions from each atomic site…
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) has taken the spotlight in the condensed matter community since the discovery of correlated phases at the so-called magic angle. Interestingly, the role of a substrate on the electronic properties of TBG has…
In this work, a shell model for metal clusters up to 220 valence electrons is used to obtain the fractional occupation probabilities of the electronic orbitals. Then, the calculation of a statistical measure of complexity and the…
A detailed and systematic density-functional theory (DFT) study of a series of early transition-metal carbides (TMC's) in the NaCl structure is presented. The focus is on the trends in the electronic structure and nature of bonding, which…
Zero-dimensional nanocrystals, as obtained by chemical synthesis, offer a broad range of applications, as their spectrum and thus their excitation gap can be tailored by variation of their size. Additionally, nanocrystals of the type ABC…
The nature of correlated states in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) at the magic angle has received intense attention in recent years. We present a numerical study of an interacting Bistritzer-MacDonald (IBM) model of TBG using a suite of…
We obtain parameters for non-orthogonal and orthogonal TB models from two-atomic molecules for all combinations of elements of period 1 to 6 and group 3 to 18 of the periodic table. The TB bond parameters for 1711 homoatomic and…
The past years have witnessed impressive advances in electronic structure calculation, especially in the complexity and size of the systems studied, as well as in computation time. Linear scaling methods based on empirical tight-binding…
The chemistry (composition and bonding information) of metallic glasses (MGs) is at least as important as structural topology for understanding their properties and production/processing peculiarities. This article reports a machine…
Dynamic compression of iron to Earth-core conditions is one of the few ways to gather important elastic and transport properties needed to uncover key mechanisms surrounding the geodynamo effect. Herein a new machine-learned ab-initio…
Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials which are insulating in their bulk form yet, upon introduction of an a boundary or edge, e.g. by abruptly terminating the material, may exhibit spontaneous current along their boundary.…
A computational approach to determine the equilibrium structures of nanoclusters in the whole temperature range from 0 K to melting is developed. Our approach relies on Parallel Tempering Molecular Dynamics (PTMD) simulations complemented…
We study the shell and alpha cluster structures in the ground and excited states of 8Be in terms of the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM). In TOSM, the tensor correlation is optimized in the full space of 2p2h configurations involving…
We report the capability to simulate in a quantum mechanical tight-binding (TB) atomistic fashion NW devices featuring several hundred to millions of atoms and diameter up to 18 nm. Such simulations go far beyond what is typically…
Since more than twenty years it is known that deposition of Ag onto Si(111)-(7\times7) leads under certain conditions to the formation of so-called "ring-like" clusters, that are particularly stable among small clusters. In order to resolve…
We extend a tight-binding method to include the effects of spin-orbit coupling, and apply it to the study of the electronic properties of the actinide elements Th, U, and Pu. These tight-binding parameters are determined for the fcc crystal…
Molecular dynamics simulations using empirical force fields (EFFs) are crucial for gaining fundamental insights into atomic structure and long timescale dynamics of Au nanoclusters with far-reaching applications in energy and devices. This…
A new tight-binding total energy method, which has been shown to accurately predict ground state properties of transition and noble metals, is applied to Manganese, the element with the most complex ground state structure among the $d$…
