Symmetry-broken crystal structure of elemental boron at low temperature
M. Widom, M. Mihalkovic
The crystal structure of boron is unique among chemical elements, highly complex, and imperfectly known. Experimentalists report the beta-rhombohedral (black) form is stable over a…

Soft modes near the buckling transition of icosahedral shells
M. Widom, J. Lidmar, D. R. Nelson
Icosahedral shells undergo a buckling transition as the ratio of Young's modulus to bending stiffness increases. Strong bending stiffness favors smooth, nearly spherical shapes, wh…

Geometrical Frustration in Liquid Fe and Fe-Based Metallic Glass
P. Ganesh, M. Widom
We investigate short rane order in liquid and supercooled liquid Fe and Fe-based metallic glass using ab-initio simulation methods. We analyze the data to quantify the degree of lo…
