AiiDA-defects: an automated and fully reproducible workflow for the complete characterization of defect chemistry in functional materials

Nicola Marzari, Conrad Johnston, Sokseiha Muy

Functional materials that enable many technological applications in our everyday lives owe their unique properties to defects that are carefully engineered and incorporated into these materials during processing. However, optimizing and characterizing thes ...

Common workflows for computing material properties using different quantum engines

Sebastiaan Philippe Huber, Nicola Marzari, Gian-Marco Rignanese, Giovanni Pizzi, Aliaksandr Yakutovich, Berend Smit, Martin Uhrin, Conrad Johnston, Austin Jacob Zadoks, Samuel Poncé, Kristjan Eimre, Marnik Bercx, Christopher John Sewell

The prediction of material properties based on density-functional theory has become routinely common, thanks, in part, to the steady increase in the number and robustness of available simulation packages. This plurality of codes and methods is both a boon ...

Barium and related stars, and their white-dwarf companions

Pierre North, Conrad Johnston, Shreeya Sushil Shetye

Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This comp ...
