As the name implies, Monte Carlo (MC) methods employ random numbers to solve
problems. The range of problems that may be treated by MC is substantial; these include …

This topical review describes the methodology of continuum variational and diffusion
quantum Monte Carlo calculations. These stochastic methods are based on many-body …

At the 26th AIRAPT conference in 2017, a task group was formed to work on an International
Practical Pressure Scale (IPPS). This report summarizes the activities of the task group …

The ruby luminescence method is widely used for pressure measurement in the diamond
anvil cell and other optically transparent pressure cells. With this application in mind, we …

Abstract Quantum Monte Carlo methods represent a powerful and broadly applicable
computational tool for finding very accurate solutions of the stationary Schrödinger equation …

Searches for low-energy tetrahedral polymorphs of carbon and silicon have been performed
using density functional theory computations and the ab initio random structure searching …

TurboGenius is an open-source Python package designed to fully control ab initio quantum
Monte Carlo (QMC) jobs using a Python script, which allows one to perform high-throughput …

All-electron variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the ground state
energies of the first row atoms (from Li to Ne) are reported. The authors use trial wave …

We report accurate measurements of the equation of state (EOS) of cubic boron nitride by x-
ray diffraction up to 160 GPa at 295 K and 80 GPa in the range 500–900 K. Experiments …

We study asp 3 bonded chiral framework structure (CFS) composed of the group 14
elements carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), or tin (Sn). The CFS is very simple and …
