Reliable density functional and G_0 W_0 approaches to the calculation of bandgaps in 2D materials

Musen Li, Michael J. Ford, Rika Kobayashi +2

Optimizing density-functional theory (DFT) and G0W0 calculations present coupled problems as orbitals from DFT are needed as G0W0 starting points. Applied to 341 two-dimensional (2…

Synthesis and processing of lithium-loaded plastic scintillators on the kilogram scale

Michael J. Ford, Elisabeth Aigeldinger, Felicia Sutanto +7

Plastic scintillators that can discriminate between gamma rays, fast neutrons, and thermal neutrons were synthesized and characterized while considering the balance between process…

Pulse-shape discrimination in water-based scintillators

Michael J. Ford, Natalia P. Zaitseva, M. Leslie Carman +4

This work describes a class of liquid scintillators that contain mostly water (>50 wt. % of the entire composition) and can discriminate between interactions induced by neutrons an…

Accurate prediction of the properties of materials using the CAM-B3LYP Density Functional

Musen Li, Jeffrey R. Reimers, Michael J. Ford +2

Density functionals with asymptotic corrections to the long-range potential provide entry-level methods for calculations on molecules that can sustain charge transfer, but similar…

Possible nanophotonics applications of the defect in hexagonal boron nitride

A. Sajid, Jeffrey R. Reimers, Rika Kobayashi +1

The defect in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), comprising a nitrogen vacancy adjacent to a nitrogen-for-boron substitution, is modelled in regard to its possible usefulnes…
