The Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science (BCCMS) is an interdisciplinary research center of the science and engineering faculties at the University of Bremen (UB). The major research focus is related to fundamental and applied topics in Computational Materials Science.

By using state-of-the art multiscale methods ranging from atomistic quantum mechanics over coarse-graining approaches up to micro- and macroscopic continuum theory, we particularly deal with problems related to the structural design of complex materials in order to develop novel functional materials and devices in close cooperation with experimental and industrial partners.

Toward a Complete Theory of Crystal Vibrations: Viewpoint on Phys. Rev. X 13, 031026 (2023)

Jan Berges

Physics 16, 151 (2023)

Although a crystal is a highly ordered structure, it is never at rest: its atoms are constantly vibrating about their equilibrium positions—even down to zero temperature. Such vibrations are called phonons, and their interaction with the electrons that hold the…

Density functional theory study of hydrophobic zeolites for the removal of triclosan from aqueous solution

Michael Fischer

Environ. Sci.: Adv. 2, 1082-1098 (2023)

The chlorinated biphenyl ether triclosan (TCS), used as a disinfectant in health care settings and in various personal care products, is an emerging organic contaminant of significant concern. Adsorption-based methods have been proposed as…
