Universal Multifractality at the Topological Anderson Insulator Transition
Ksenija Kovalenka, Ahmad Ranjbar, Sam Azadi +3
Disorder is ubiquitous in quantum materials, and its interplay with topology can generate phases absent in the clean limit. Using the Haldane model as a minimal setting, we show th…
Electronic Temperature-Driven Phase Stability and Structural Evolution of Iron at High Pressure
S. Azadi, S. M. Vinko
We present Gibbs free-energy phase diagrams for compressed iron within a pressure range of 20 to 300 GPa and electronic temperature up to 3 eV obtained using finite-temperature den…
Elastic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides
S. Azadi, A. Azhar, R. V. Belosludov +2
We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the structural and elastic properties of 2H-MX transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) (M = W, Mo, Ta, Nb; X = S, Se). Usin…
Quantum Monte Carlo study of the quasiparticle effective mass of the two-dimensional uniform electron liquid
S. Azadi, N. D. Drummond, A. Principi +2
The real-space variation quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) are used to calculate the quasiparticle energy bands and the quasiparticle effective mass…
Electron correlation effects and spin-liquid state in the Herbertsmithite Kagome lattice
Sam Azadi, Kühne
We employ real-space variational quantum Monte Carlo methods with resonating valence bond many-body wave functions to investigate electron correlation effects in the Kagome system…
