I studied the ground state properties and phase behavior of a two-dimensional lattice gas in which hard-core particles can have at most one nearest neighboring occupied site on the square lattice. Monte Carlo simulations in the grand-canonical ensemble showed no apparent signature of singular thermodynamic behavior when the chemical potential was increased. The absence of an ordering phase transition is traced to the large number of ground state configurations the model is endowed, which is due to the impossibility of satisfying simultaneously closest packing around a vacancy and around a particle. Numerical simulations confirm that the ground state entropy is proportional to the square root of system size.

Context: The structural stability, ground state magnetic order, electronic, elastic and thermoelectric properties of NdMn in the C15, C14 and C36 polytypic phases is investigated. The magnetic phase optimization and magnetic susceptibility reveal that NdMn is antiferromagnetic (AFM) in C36 phase; and paramagnetic (PM) in C14 and C15 phases respectively. The band profiles and electrical resistivity show the metallic nature in all these polytypic phases and reveal that the C36 phase possesses smaller resistivity.

In quantum information science and sensing, electron spins are often purified into a specific polarization through an optical-spin interface, a process known as optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). Diamond-NV centers and transition metals are both excellent platforms for these so-called color centers, while metal-free molecular analogues are also gaining popularity for their extended polarization lifetimes, milder environmental impacts, and reduced costs. In our earlier attempt at designing such organic high-spin π-diradicals, we proposed to spin-polarize by shelving triplet = ±1 populations as singlets.

We investigate the energetic and structural properties of small lithium clusters doped with a carbon atom using a combination of computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT), diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC), and the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. We calculate the lowest energy structures, total ground-state energies, electron populations, binding energies, and dissociation energies as a function of cluster size. Our results show that carbon doping significantly enhances the stability of lithium clusters, increasing the magnitude of the binding energy by 0.
