Joint work with I Vitebskiy.Wave propagation in spatially periodic media, such as photonic crystals, can be qualitatively differentfrom any uniform substance. The differences are particularly pronounced when the electromagnetic wavelengthis comparable to the minimal translation of the periodic structure. In such a case, the periodic medium canno...

Ablative Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability is a special feature of the acceleration phase in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Ablation stabilizes the disturbances with small wavelength, introducing a marginal wavelength. Due to a large temperature ratio, the conduction length-scale varies strongly across the wave, and the attention is limited ...

In this tutorial, we will show how to incorporate nuclear quantum effects into an ab initio molecular dynamics calculation via the Feynman path-integral formulation of quantum statistical mechanics. Important algorithmic advances needed to accelerate the convergence of the calculations will be discussed as well as approximation dynamical path-in...

In an ab initio molecular dynamics calculation, the finite-temperature dynamics of a system is generated using forces obtained directly from electronic structure calculations performed 'on the fly' as the simulation proceeds. Within this approach, manybody forces, electronic polarization, and chemical bond-breaking and forming evnets are treated...

The human world is full of things that move: people travelling, inbuses and trains and cars and taxis, goods being shipped anddelivered, etc. etc. Sensors for recording these movements arebecoming cheaper and more widespread, from GPS-equipped mobile phonesto smart commuter cards, and so there is an explosion in the amount ofmovement data that i...
