Anisotropic van der Waals Dispersion Forces in Polymers: Structural Symmetry Breaking Leads to Enhanced Conformational Search
Mario Galante, Alexandre Tkatchenko
The modeling of conformations and dynamics of (bio)polymers is of primary importance for understanding physicochemical properties of soft matter. Although short-range interactions…
Role of longitudinal fluctuations in L FePt
Matthew O. A. Ellis, Mario Galante, Stefano Sanvito
L FePt is a technologically important material for a range of novel data storage applications. In the ordered FePt structure the normally non-magnetic Pt ion acquires a magnet…
SIMPLE code: optical properties with optimal basis functions
Gianluca Prandini, Mario Galante, Nicola Marzari +1
We present SIMPLE, a code developed to calculate optical properties of metallic and insulating extended systems using the optimal basis method originally proposed by E. L. Shirley…
Non-trivial spatial dependence of the spin torques in L1 FePt-based tunnelling junctions
Mario Galante, Matthew O. A. Ellis, Stefano Sanvito
We present an {\it ab-initio} study of the spin-transfer torque in a Fe/MgO/FePt/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions. We consider a FePt film with a thickness up to six unit cells, either…
Black hole thermodynamics, conformal couplings, and R^2 terms
Mariano Chernicoff, Mario Galante, Gaston Giribet +4
Lovelock theory provides a tractable model of higher-curvature gravity in which several questions can be studied analytically. This is the reason why, in the last years, this theor…
Chemical potential driven phase transition of black holes in AdS space
Mario Galante, Gaston Giribet, Andres Goya +1
Einstein-Maxwell theory conformally coupled to a scalar field in D dimensions may exhibit an instability at low temperature. We find an explicit solution that represents a charged…
Pole Inflation - Shift Symmetry and Universal Corrections
Benedict J. Broy, Mario Galante, Diederik Roest +1
An appealing explanation for the Planck data is provided by inflationary models with a singular non-canonical kinetic term: a Laurent expansion of the kinetic function translates i…
The Unity of Cosmological Attractors
Mario Galante, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1
Recently, several broad classes of inflationary models have been discovered whose cosmological predictions are stable with respect to significant modifications of the inflaton pote…
Analytical results on quantum correlations of few bosons in a double-well trap
Mario Galante, Giovanni Mazzarella, Luca Salasnich
We consider a finite number of interacting bosonic atoms at zero temperature confined in a one-dimensional double-well trap and study this system by using the two-site Bose-Hub…
