Quantum simulation of low-temperature metallic liquid hydrogen

Ji Chen, Xin-Zheng Li, Qianfan Zhang +5

Experiments and computer simulations have shown that the melt-ing temperature of solid hydrogen drops with pressure above about 65 GPa, suggesting that a liquid state might exist a…

Decoherence mechanisms of 209Bi donor electron spins in isotopically pure 28Si

Gary Wolfowicz, Stephanie Simmons, Alexei M. Tyryshkin +8

Bismuth (209Bi) is the deepest Group V donor in silicon and possesses the most extreme characteristics such as a 9/2 nuclear spin and a 1.5 GHz hyperfine coupling. These lead to se…

Assessment of density functional theory for iron(II) molecules across the spin-crossover transition

A. Droghetti, D. Alfè, S. Sanvito

Octahedral Fe molecules are particularly interesting as they often exhibit a spin-crossover transition. In spite of the many efforts aimed at assessing the performances of d…

Selective Response of Mesoporous Silicon to Adsorbants with Nitro Groups

John A. McLeod, Ernst Z. Kurmaev, Peter V. Sushko +3

We demonstrate that the electronic structure of mesoporous silicon is affected by adsorption of nitro-based explosive molecules in a compound-selective manner. This selective respo…
