Importance of subleading corrections for the Mott critical point

Patrick Sémon, A. -M. S. Tremblay

The interaction-induced metal-insulator transition should be in the Ising universality class. Experiments on layered organic superconductors suggest that the observed critical endp…

Electron-phonon coupling in the C60 fullerene within the many-body GW approach

Carina Faber, Jonathan Laflamme Janssen, Michel Côté +2

We study the electron-phonon coupling in the C60 fullerene within the first-principles GW approach, focusing on the lowest unoccupied t1u three-fold electronic state which is relev…

Embedded atom method potentials for Al-Pd-Mn phases

Daniel Schopf, Peter Brommer, Benjamin Frigan +1

A novel embedded atom method (EAM) potential for the Xi-phases of Al-Pd-Mn has been determined with the force-matching method. Different combinations of analytic functions were tes…

Pseudogap temperature as a Widom line in doped Mott insulators

G. Sordi, P. Sémon, K. Haule +1

The pseudogap refers to an enigmatic state of matter with unusual physical properties found below a characteristic temperature in hole-doped high-temperature superconductors.…

Superconductivity and antiferromagnetism as interfering orders in organic conductors

C. Bourbonnais, A. Sedeki

Superconductivity in the Bechgaard salts series of quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors occurs on the verge of spin-density-wave ordering when hydrostatic pressure is applied.…

Ab initio based polarizable force field generation and application to liquid silica and magnesia

Philipp Beck, Peter Brommer, Johannes Roth +1

We extend the program potfit, which generates effective atomic interaction potentials from ab initio data, to electrostatic interactions and induced dipoles. The potential parametr…

Kinetic Activation Relaxation Technique

Laurent Karim Béland, Peter Brommer, Fedwa El-Mellouhi +2

We present a detailed description of the kinetic Activation-Relaxation Technique (k-ART), an off-lattice, self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm with on-the-fly event search.…

Heat conduction across molecular junctions between nanoparticles

Samy Merabia, Jean-Louis Barrat, Laurent J. Lewis

We investigate the problem of heat conduction across a molecular junction connecting two nanoparticles, both in vacuum and in a liquid environment, using classical molecular dynami…

Crystallization of amorphous silicon induced by mechanical shear deformations

Ali Kerrache, Normand Mousseau, Laurent J. Lewis

We have investigated the response of amorphous silicon (a-Si), in particular crystallization, to external mechanical shear deformations using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simu…

Estimating the conditions for polariton condensation in organic thin-film microcavities

Eric R. Bittner, Carlos Silva

We examine the possibility of observing Bose condensation of a confined two-dimensional polariton gas in an organic quantum well. We deduce a suitable parameterization of a model H…

Charge separation by photoexcitation in semicrystalline polymeric semiconductors: An intrinsic or extrinsic mechanism?

Francis Paquin, Gianluca Latini, Maciej Sakowicz +5

We probe charge photogeneration and subsequent recombination dynamics in neat regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) films over six decades in time by means of time-resolved photolumi…

Mott physics and first-order transition between two metals in the normal state phase diagram of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

G. Sordi, K. Haule, A. -M. S. Tremblay

For doped two-dimensional Mott insulators in their normal state, the challenge is to understand the evolution from a conventional metal at high doping to a strongly correlated meta…

Optical and DC conductivity of the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the pseudogap regime and across the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point, including vertex corrections

Dominic Bergeron, Vasyl Hankevych, Bumsoo Kyung +1

The conductivity of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is particularly relevant for high-temperature superconductors. Vertex corrections are expected to be important because of stro…
