The journal is now open for submissions, and for a limited time, we are waiving all article processing charges (APCs) through December 31, 2025. We are honored to welcome all of the editors and invite you to browse their selected publications. PROF. XIAOSONG LI Prof. Xiaosong Li is the Larry R. Dalton Endowed Chair in Chemistry and the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington. Internationally renowned for his contributions to time-dependent quantum theory and relativistic electronic structure methods, Prof. Li's interdisciplinary research bridges the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, and computer science. Over his career, he has published 300 peer-reviewed articles and developed several widely used computational software packages.  Xiaosong Li University of Washington, USA SELECT ARTICLES AUTHORED BY PROF.

Specializing in computational condensed matter physics, he has made seminal contributions to multiferroic material modeling and computational method development. Key achievements include proposing unified models for spin-order induced ferroelectricity, devising the four-state method for calculating magnetic interactions and magnetoelectric coupling strength, and introducing the concept of fractional quantum ferroelectricity.

DOMINIKA ZGID Dominika Zgid is a professor of chemistry and physics at the University of Michigan. Her primary interests lie at the intersection of theoretical chemistry and condensed matter physics, focusing on designing new, systematically improvable, and controlled computational methods for studying correlated molecules and materials. Her research spans various topics, including a molecular version of the density matrix renormalization group, solvers for dynamical mean field theory using explicit bath formulation, conserving Green's function methods, the development of methods with inclusion of relativistic corrections, and the development of ab-initio embedding Green's function methods.

The focus of her research is ab initio investigation on the dynamics of excited carriers in condensed matter systems. She combines methods of many-body perturbation theory with molecular dynamics to model the coupled ultrafast time scale charge, spin, and lattice quantum interactions in condensed matter and quantum materials within the shared Hefei-nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (Hefei-NAMD) code.

READ MORE > Zero-Embargo Access Without Barriers We believe there has never been a more important time to remove barriers to sharing scientific knowledge. AIP Publishing's liberal green open access policy ensures that researchers can make their accepted manuscripts freely available immediately — with no embargo and no fees. It's a simple, effective way to comply with NIH and other funder public access requirements and expand the reach of your work.   This is just one of the ways AIP Publishing lives up to the promise we made to the global research community when we joined with the American Physical Society and IOP Publishing to form Purpose-Led Publishing — a coalition committed to the simple idea that science is our only shareholder.
