Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of open-source computer codes for quantum simulations of materials using state-of-the-art electronic-structure techniques, based on density-functional theory, density-functional perturbation theory, and many-body perturbation theory, within the plane-wave pseudopotential and projector-augmented-wave approaches. A recent JPCM paper… Read More ›
Density Functional Theory
A method for predicting the structural deformations of 2D materials under strain
Zacharias Fthenakis and Nektarios Lathiotakis propose a fast and accurate description of the mechanical response of any 2D structure under any strain conditions.
Randomness as a tool in materials design
Can phonons be controlled by engineering disorder?
Risto Nieminen: electronic-structure-based material discovery
Emeritus Professor Risto Niemen of Aalto University, a computational and theoretical condensed-matter physicist, talks about his work, the great outdoors and how computational models are driving materials discovery.
Point defects stabilise cubic Mo-N and Ta-N
Does ordering of vacancies and their type play any role on stability of MoN and TaN?
