Power of numerical simulations to complement experimental studies
Building on excellent experimental data, COMP researchers Dr Matti Ropo and Professor Jaakko Akola (Tampere University of Technology) use numerical simulations to enrich understanding of material families, like the Group 15 nitrogen family, and in this case, liquid bismuth. Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations agree well with inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) experimental results. This work was completed in collaboration with Dr R.O. Jones of the Peter Gr眉nberg Institute at the J眉lich Research Centre in Germany.
