We present results of Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations for a system of solid ortho-D_2 at different densities, for pressure ranging from 0 up to 350MPa. We compare the equation of state obtained using two of the most used effective intermolecular potentials, i.e. the Silvera--Goldman and the Buck potentials, with experimental data, in order to assess the validity of the model interactions. The Silvera-Goldman potential has been found to provide a satisfactory agreement with experimental results, showing that, as opposed to what recently found for p-H_2, three--body forces can be efficiently accounted for by an effective two--body term.

We study the elasticity of perfect 4He at zero-temperature using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and a realistic semi-empirical pairwise potential to describe the He-He interactions. Specifically, we calculate the value of the elastic constants of h
cp helium C_{ij} as a function of pressure up to 110 bar. It is found that the pressure dependence of all five non-zero C_{ij} is linear and we provide accurate parametrization of each of them. Our elastic constants results are compared to previous variational calculations and low-temperature measurements and in general notably good agreement is found among them. Furthermore, we report T = 0 results for the Gruneisen parameters, sound velocities and Debye temperature of hcp 4He. This work represents the first of a series of computational studies aimed at thoroughly characterizing the response of solid helium to external stress-strain.
The pressure-volume-temperature equation of state of the intermetallic compound NiAl was calculated theoretically, and compared with experimental measurements. Electron ground states were calculated for NiAl in the CsCl structure, using density funct
ional theory, and were used to predict the cold compression curve and the density of phonon states. The Rose form of compression curve was found to reproduce the ab initio calculations well in compression but exhibited significant deviations in expansion. A thermodynamically-complete equation of state was constructed for NiAl. Shock waves were induced in crystals of NiAl by the impact of laser-launched Cu flyers and by launching NiAl flyers into transparent windows of known properties. The TRIDENT laser was used to accelerate the flyers to speeds between 100 and 600m/s. Point and line-imaging laser Doppler velocimetry was used to measure the acceleration of the flyer and the surface velocity history of the target. The velocity histories were used to deduce the stress state, and hence states on the principal Hugoniot and the flow stress. Flyers and targets were recovered from most experiments. The effect of elasticity and plastic flow in the sample and window was assessed. The ambient isotherm reproduced static compression data very well, and the predicted Hugoniot was consistent with shock compression data.
Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations were performed for an accurate description of the nature of the O$_2$ adsorption on a single layer graphene. We investigated the stable orientation of O$_2$ at a specific adsorption site as well as its equilib
rium adsorption energy. At equilibrium adsorption distances, an O$_2$ molecule was found to prefer a horizontal orientation, where the O-O bond is parallel to the graphene surface, to the vertical orientation. However, the vertical orientation is favored at the O$_2$-graphene distances shorter than the equilibrium distance, which could be understood by the steric repulsion between O and C atoms. Contrary to previous DFT calculations, our DMC calculations show that the midpoint of a C-C bond (a bridge site) is energetically preferred for the O$_2$ adsorption to a center of a hexagonal ring (a hollow site). The lowest DMC adsorption energy was found at an intermediate point between a hollow and a bridge site, where the O$_2$ adsorption energy was estimated to be -0.142(4) eV that was in very good agreement with the recently-reported experimental value. Finally, we have found that O$_2$ is very diffusive on the surface of graphene with the diffusion barrier along a bridge-hollow-bridge path being as small as ~ 11 meV.
We study, using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, the ground state properties of a one dimensional Rabi-Hubbard model. The model consists of a lattice of Rabi systems coupled by a photon hopping term between near neighbor sites. For large enough
coupling between photons and atoms, the phase diagram generally consists of only two phases: a coherent phase and a compressible incoherent one separated by a quantum phase transition (QPT). We show that, as one goes deeper in the coherent phase, the system becomes unstable exhibiting a divergence of the number of photons. The Mott phases which are present in the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model are not observed in these cases due to the presence of non-negligible counter-rotating terms. We show that these two models become equivalent only when the detuning is negative and large enough, or if the counter-rotating terms are small enough.
We have investigated the ground state properties of solid $^4$He with the Shadow Path Integral Ground State method. This exact T=0 K projector method allows to describes quantum solids without introducing any a priori equilibrium position. We have fo
und that the efficiency in computing off-diagonal properties in the solid phase sensibly improves when the direct sampling of permutations, in principle not required, is introduced. We have computed the exact one-body density matrix (obdm) in large commensurate 4He crystal finding a decreasing condensate fraction with increasing imaginary time of projection, making our result not conclusive on the presence of Bose-Einstein condensation in bulk solid 4He. We can only give an upper bound of 2.5 times 10^-8 on the condensate fraction. We have exploited the SPIGS method to study also 4He crystal containing grain boundaries by computing the related surface energy and the obdm along these defects. We have found that also highly symmetrical grain boundaries have a finite condensate fraction. We have also derived a route for the estimation of the true equilibrium concentration of vacancies x_v in bulk T=0 K solid 4He, which is shown to be finite, x_v=0.0014(1) at the melting density, when computed with the variational shadow wave function technique.
