Questioning the existence of a unique ground state structure for Si clusters

W. Hellmann, R. Hennig, S. Goedecker +3

Density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations challenge the existence of a unique ground state structure for certain Si clusters. For Si clusters with more than a dozen a…

Hypoconstrained Jammed Packings of Nonspherical Hard Particles: Ellipses and Ellipsoids

A. Donev, R. Connelly, F. H. Stillinger +1

Continuing on recent computational and experimental work on jammed packings of hard ellipsoids [Donev et al., Science, vol. 303, 990-993] we consider jamming in packings of smooth…

Energy-based Structure Prediction for d(Al70Co20Ni10)

Nan Gu, M. Mihalkovic, C. L. Henley

We use energy minimization principles to predict the structure of a decagonal quasicrystal - d(AlCoNi) - in the Cobalt-rich phase. Monte Carlo methods are then used to explore conf…

Spin-transfer-driven ferromagnetic resonance of individual nanomagnets

J. C. Sankey, P. M. Braganca, A. G. F. Garcia +3

We demonstrate a technique that enables ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements of the normal modes for magnetic excitations in individual nanoscale ferromagnets, smaller in vol…

Lattice polarization effects on electron-gas charge densities in ionic superlattices

D. R. Hamann, D. A. Muller, H. Y. Hwang

The atomic-level control achievable in artificially-structured oxide superlattices provides a unique opportunity to explore interface phases of matter including high-density 2D ele…
