Efficient simulation of second-order phase transitions in quantum anharmonic materials
Andrea Baldanza, Lorenzo Monacelli
When a crystal undergoes a second-order structural phase transition, such as in ferroelectrics, Peierls, and charge-density waves, the diverging fluctuations of the order parameter…
Predicting challenging phase transitions with Bayesian active learning
Lorenzo Bastonero, Gabriel Joalland, Chiara Cignarella +2
Materials underpin modern technologies, from energy harvesting, storage, and conversion to information and communication technologies. Their functionality is often governed by the…
Role of ionic quantum-anharmonic fluctuations on the bond length alternation and giant piezoelectricity of conjugated polymers
Stefano Paolo Villani, Lorenzo Monacelli, Paolo Barone +1
Functionalized conjugated polymers are promising materials for electromechanical applications due to predicted giant piezoelectricity, arising from anomalously large dynamical effe…
Extreme anharmonicity and thermal contraction of 1D wires
Chiara Cignarella, Lorenzo Bastonero, Lorenzo Monacelli +1
Ultrathin nanowires could play a central role in next-generation downscaled electronics. Here, we explore some of the most promising candidates identified from previous high-throug…
Hydrogen bond symmetrization in high-pressure ice clathrates
Lorenzo Monacelli, Maria Rescigno, Alasdair Nicholls +3
Hydrogen bond symmetrization is a fundamental pressure-induced transformation in which the distinction between donor and acceptor sites vanishes, resulting in a symmetric hydrogen-…
Laser-driven ferroelectricity in via quantum fluctuation quenching
Francesco Libbi, Lorenzo Monacelli, Boris Kozinsky
Similar to other perovskites in its family, exhibits a significant softening of the ferroelectric mode with decreasing temperature, a behavior that typically h…
