One of the major endeavors in modern nuclear physics, is the ongoing quest for an effective nuclear many-body theory, a key element in the attempt to extrapolate existing experimental data to regimes which are not currently accessible in the laboratory. Ideally, one would like to begin with the experimental data available from nucleon-nucleon sNNd scattering experiments [1,2] and determine the ...

The cluster expansion enables fast alloy property computations especially useful for predicting alloy thermodynamics. It expands configurational alloy properties in basis functions called clusters with associated expansion coefficients called effective cluster interactions (ECI) which must be learned. The number of ECI increases when the symmetries of the system are reduced. Therefore, when app...

The cluster expansion enables fast alloy property computations especially useful for predicting alloy thermodynamics. It expands configurational alloy properties in basis functions called clusters with associated expansion coefficients called effective cluster interactions (ECI). The number of ECI depends on the symmetries of the system. Therefore, when applied to non-bulk low-symmetry systems,...
