Metal oxides play a very important role in many areas of chemistry, physics, and materials
science. 1-5 The metal elements are able to form a large diversity of oxide compounds. 6 …

Recent advances in analytical and computational modelling frameworks to describe the
mechanics of materials on scales ranging from the atomistic, through the microstructure or …

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

This book presents a complete encyclopedia of superconducting fluctuations, summarising
the last thirty-five years of work in the field. The first part of the book is devoted to an …

Progress in nanoscience is becoming increasingly dependent on simulation and modelling.
This is due to a combination of three factors: the reduced size of nano-objects, the …

Neuropathic pain arises as a debilitating consequence of nerve injury. The etiology of such
pain is poorly understood, and existing treatment is largely ineffective. We demonstrate here …

The atomistic pseudopotential method is used to accurately predict the electron-hole
exchange-induced fine structure (FS) and polarization anisotropy in million-atom In 1− x Ga …

We adopt an atomistic pseudopotential description of the electronic structure of self-
assembled, lens-shaped InAs quantum dots within the “linear combination of bulk bands” …

We predict that heterostructure quantum wires and [111] grown quantum dots have a
vanishing fine-structure splitting on the grounds of their symmetry, and are therefore ideal …

The modeling of finite-extent semiconductor nanostructures that are embedded in a host
material requires a proper boundary treatment for a finite simulation domain. For the study of …
