Article Abstract
Experiments done on polydisperse particles of cadmium selenide have recently shown that the particles form spherical isolated clusters with low polydispersity of cluster size. The computer simulation model of Xia et al. ( Nat. Nanotechnol. 2011 , 6 , 580 ) explaining this behavior used a short-range van der Waals attraction combined with a variable long-range screened electrostatic repulsion, depending linearly on the volume of the clusters. In this work, we term this dependence "linear renormalization" of the repulsive term, and we use advanced Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the kinetically slowed down phase separation in a similar but simpler model. We show that amorphous drops do not dissolve and crystallinity evolves very slowly under linear renormalization, and we confirm that low polydispersity of cluster size can also be achieved using this model. The results indicate that the linear renormalization generally leads to monodisperse clusters.

Scaling Approach to Doniach Phase Diagram: Application to CeRuGe and EuCu(GeSi).

We calculate the Doniach phase diagram of heavy-fermion systems containing Ce and Eu ions, using the scaling solution of the periodic Anderson model, and compare the results with the experimental data on CeRuGe and EuCu(GeSi). The temperature-pressure (T-p) phase diagram emerges from the competition between the pressure-dependent Kondo interaction and the temperature- and pressure-dependent RKKY interaction. Both are derived using scaling equations in the presence of crystal-field effects: Kondo temperature TK is related to the coupling constant g(p), where p is the control parameter, and the temperature-dependent renormalized coupling g(T,TK(g)).

Tensor networks (TNs) and the breadth of algorithms acting on them have seen astounding success in simulating quantum many-body systems in the strongly interacting regime with both accuracy and efficiency. In the context of quantum chemistry, Steven White's density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) continues to take center stage as the TN method of choice, seeing countless theoretical and computational breakthroughs in recent decades yet remaining fettered by a few persistent shortcomings, notably, a lack of and . Here, we present a simple yet versatile framework for circumventing these issues: the bootstrap embedded density matrix renormalization group (BE-DMRG), and numerically validate its size-extensive and quasi-exact ground-state properties for a test bed of strongly correlated molecular systems (linear -; quasi-linear -; 2D and 3D -lattices; 2D ).

Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory commonly used to study these transitions, the coherent potential approximation (CPA), shows logarithmic corrections in two dimensions. By solving the theory in arbitrary dimensions and extracting the universal scaling predictions, we show that these logarithmic corrections are a symptom of an upper critical dimension d_{upper}=2, below which the critical exponents are modified.

We present a new implementation of the driven similarity renormalization group (DSRG) based on a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) reference. The explicit build of high-order reduced density matrices is avoided by forming matrix-product-state compressed intermediates. This algorithm facilitates the application of DSRG second- and third-order perturbation theories to dodecacene with an active space of 50 electrons in 50 orbitals.

Metal halide perovskites exhibit a fairly linear increase of the bandgap with increasing temperature, when crystallized in a tetragonal or cubic phase. In general, both thermal expansion and electron-phonon interaction effects contribute equally to this variation of the gap with temperature. Herein, we have disentangled both contributions in the case of colloidal CsPbBr nanocrystals (NCs) by means of photoluminescence (PL) measurements as a function of temperature (from 80 K to ambient) and hydrostatic pressure (from atmospheric to ca.
