Sliding properties of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide bilayers
Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, S. Subashchandrabose, Alberto Ambrosetti +1
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are valuable as solid lubricants because of their layered structure, which allows for easy shearing along the basal planes. Using Density Fu…
Roadmap on Advancements of the FHI-aims Software Package
Joseph W. Abbott, Carlos Mera Acosta, Alaa Akkoush +203
Electronic-structure theory is the foundation of the description of materials including multiscale modeling of their properties and functions. Obviously, without sufficient accurac…
Superfluidity meets the solid-state: frictionless mass-transport through a (5,5) carbon-nanotube
Alberto Ambrosetti, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli, Luca Salasnich
Superfluidity is a well-characterized quantum phenomenon which entails frictionless-motion of mesoscopic particles through a superfluid, such as He or dilute atomic-gases at ve…
Quantum-mechanically enhanced water flow in sub-nanometer carbon nanotubes
Alberto Ambrosetti, Giorgio Palermo, Pier Luigi Silvestrelli
Water-flow in carbon nanotubes (CNT's) starkly contradicts classical fluid mechanics, with permeabilities that can exceed no-slip Haagen-Poiseuille predictions by two to five order…
Colossal Atomic Force Response in van der Waals Materials Arising From Electronic Correlations
Paul Hauseux, Alberto Ambrosetti, Stéphane P. A. Bordas +1
Understanding static and dynamic phenomena in complex materials at different length scales requires reliably accounting for van der Waals (vdW) interactions, which stem from long-r…
Improving the description of interlayer bonding in TiS2 by Density Functional Theory
Ricci Matteo, Ambrosetti Alberto, Silvestrelli Pier Luigi
We investigate energetic and electronic properties of TiS2 , an archetypal van der Waals (vdW) material, from first principles, in the framework of the Density Functional Theory (D…
